IGI on MBL

Don't know if you've all seen this article (Icelandic).
Pretty much a copy paste from Edge but good stuff nevertheless

We are good like that

Poor members of Icelandic Parliament get a lot of flak. People demand things from them and often take position outside the house of Parliament and make a racket using kitchen utensils.

The season of niceties is upon so we at IGI decided to give something back and yesterday Örn from Mindgames and myself delivered 63 EDGE magazines to our esteem leaders of the nation. It took a bit of convincing, but once we bribed the employee in the Lobby with a copy for her son we got an all access pass and sh… Continue

Hours of War in Open Beta



Huge push for us at Sauma last couple of weeks.
We are now in Open Beta with a brand spanking release of Hours of War.
This includes upgraded graphics, sounds, gameplay and premium accounts where you can pick sides and units. This means that you should effectively always get a tank or armored unit if that is how you… Continue

The Economist estimates free to play games will reach $1.2 Billion in revenue by 2012

Pretty high level, but still interesting read from The Economist.

[...]
Online gaming is not new. Since the early days of the internet, netizens have indulged in “massively multiplayer role-playing online games”, a genre that, now complete with fancy graphics, is still very popular, particularly in Asia. Some console games can be played onlin… Continue

And we're off.... 150 people attended the IGI Awards launch

Thank you all for showing up. Great to see how many gamer geeks got the message and a big kudos for the team for promoting and organizing the event.



An unscientific survey reports that we had 150 people attending and at least 10 potential entries already planned.
Benjamin Bohn gave us a glimpse into the art production pipeline at CCP which was highly educational and we hope to have the slides up here soon.

This Saturday we're going to have an amazing lineup for the… Continue

Hvernig væri að halda "Hitta Unity" kakó-og-kökufund 29. eða kannski 28. desember?

Kannski gæti eitthvert fyrirtækið boðið okkur að nota skrifstofu þess fyrir fundinn (CCP, Gogogic, On The Rock) eða kannski HÍ? Eða við gætum tekið yfir eitthvert kaffihúsið.

Takk kærlega. Ég verð auðvitað að viðurkenna að ég er ekki mjög tengdur spilabransanum heima, en það er gaman að sjá klárt og duglegt fólk búa til amk. nokkur góð fyrirtæki... og vonandi mörg fleyri í framtíðinni. Ég kem ekki til Íslands fyrr en um jólin (20. desember til 4. janúar), en það væri gaman að hitta nokkra úr bransanum samnt.

Vildi gjarnan stefna góðu fólki saman td. 28. desember.

PS. Í sambandi við víkingasamlíkinguna, þá fékk maður stundum skot frá dönum áðurfyrr (reyndar ekki mjög nákvæm úr því Unity var alveg lífrænt ræktað bílskúrsfyrirtæki lengi vel), en allir sem ég hitti eru mjög kurteisir eftir hrunið og skilja að það er ekkert gamanmál.

Eigum við ekki bara að stefna á nákvæmlega það á næsta seasoni.
Taka þátt þar sem einungis er farið yfir Íslenska leiki og það sem er að gerast í tölvuleikjum hérna heima á klakanum.

Ég og Óli erum allavega til :)

Ég þakka velkomuna. Það væri að sjálfsögðu tær snilld að kynnast betur hinum íslenska leikjaheimi og því fólk sem í honum starfar. Ef það er svo hægt að vekja áhuga landans á því sem hér til staðar er og því sem gæti orðið, með skrifum á leikjablogginu, væri það náttúrulega snilld.

Hlakka til að sjá hvað verður.
