We&#8217;ve redesigned and moved Pixel-Love to our own host:
http://blog.pixel-lab.co.uk
I&#8217;m quite satisfied to have got this done finally, as while hosted services are convenient, they drastically lack flexibility and it&#8217;s not that much more difficult to run a wordpress installation of your own. I think you&#8217;ll agree that the new blog layout is much more beautiful [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pixellove.wordpress.com&blog=314461&post=1207&subd=pixellove&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Pixel-Love is going away for a short while today, and will be back with a new look and new domain within a few days. I&#8217;ll update here when it does.
Edit: Looks like we got unlucky with DNS propagation and it&#8217;s going to bleed into the weekend. All being well, we&#8217;ll be back up and running [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pixellove.wordpress.com&blog=314461&post=1204&subd=pixellove&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Some excellent stuff from Tadhgk Kelly, formerly of Sky Games but now working for Nottingham startup Simple Lifeforms, on Social Games. He points out that &#8220;social games&#8221; is a term used as lazily as casual games was a few years ago, and has this excellent piece of insight on them:

I read on Gamasutra today that the classic, harsh text adventure Zork is returning as a browser based MMO. Similar things have already bee attempted, such as the bot running classic text adventures at the Idle Thumbs Forums, and they&#8217;re a good place to go if you want a quick look at just how obtuse [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pixellove.wordpress.com&blog=314461&post=1194&subd=pixellove&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Aleks talks about Eidos getting lower than expected sales on Tomb Raider: Underworld, and as a result saying they&#8217;ll possibly make Lara Croft more &#8220;female friendly&#8221;.

Have they tied that to American women [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pixellove.wordpress.com&blog=314461&post=1179&subd=pixellove&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Gamasutra have been doing some fairly interesting games journalism recently, which is very encouraging in the face of so many sites that copy and paste press releases and add a bit of fluff around them.

Margaret Robertson is on fire in this post. There are lots of stupid quibbles and assumptions in the games industry, things that function as shorthand for mainstream legitimacy among developers and games journalists, which in fact are trivial and potentially very damaging. I hadn&#8217;t noticed this one much until Margaret pointed it out:

This week, the London Review of Books have an excellent article by John Lanchester about games. It&#8217;s intelligent analysis of games for non-gamers, full of assumptions about the LRB audience but none whatsoever that they understand what games are. It&#8217;s full of considered analysis of what games are and what they mean, using examples like [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pixellove.wordpress.com&blog=314461&post=1147&subd=pixellove&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
