1. My previews of what I saw at the Paradox Con are going up at Gameshark. Short previews, mostly because there’s only so much you can say about an unfinished game that is not just a feature list, which you can find anywhere. I really hate writing previews, especially if there’s no hands on or there’s just concept art. So you can read about Lead & Gold<\/a>, Magicka<\/a> and Victoria 2<\/a> now. More to come.<\/p>\n

2. My colleagues over at GameShark also have a new podcast, the obviously titled Jumping the Shark<\/a>. I’m listening now, and I will probably listen again. Much more general game stuff than we do at Three Moves Ahead, obviously.<\/p>\n

3. PAX East registration is complete and travel has been arranged. If you’re going to be there, send me a note. Maybe we can have drinks.<\/p>\n

4. Dawn of the Discovery<\/em> on the DS is a much simpler game, and in many ways quite different from the PC version. But I still highly recommend it, especially to beginning strategy gamers. It’s a much simpler economic model with a lot less hauling of freight from one island to the next. So its pace is quite unique, even though it is clearly an Anno<\/em> game.<\/p>\n

5. My contribution to the 2002 part of the decade series will be up tomorrow. I just need to work out some issues I’m having with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
