Top 10 technology predictions for 2013 - and a few for 2014 impacting Games.
Some people like to get a head start on their 2013 predictions and get a jump on the rest of us. (Ok.. I'll admit... I'm a ~month late!) So here's my gift to you. I'll go wayyy out on a limb & do some 2014 predictions.

PAX 2012 - What a Great Show!
PAX 2012 – What a Show!
PAX 2012 this year was another sell out show with at least 70,000 or more people showing up in Seattle. Aside from some volunteer booth duty, an interview for a Publication, and some great Partner meetings; the big highlights for me this year were as follows:
1) The Customers/Attendees. The energy in the crowd was infectious. Seeing everyone so excited over the show and just simply ‘getting-into-it’. Tons of Cosplay & incidentally some very amazing costumes! Everyone seemed to be just having a great time.
How do you Skyrim? Get the most bang for your gaming buck!
This blog could apply to any PC game; however, I’m going to use Skyrim by way of illustration since they’ve done a fantastic job of supporting the Gamepad and or the Mouse & Keyboard; unlike some other PC Game Ports I won’t mention.

Game Engines for Android
With Google IO fast approaching and GDC just completed I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the game engines available for mobile devices, specifically for x86 based mobile devices. There are many game engine choices out there, all with a different set of features, pricing, maturity, etc. After conducting a search online, I found a wide variety of game engines that can be used for creating games for Android* based mobile devices. Some provide x86 support, while others can be ported to support x86 devices without too much effort.
