I'm currently playing Social City on Facebook - and that has an interesting micro-transaction system to it. It's the first Facebook game I've really gotten in to. But, I can see the appeal. The iPhone/iTouch is definitely an intriguing platform - I'd like to know more about it. I'm also very interested in seeing what becomes of the iPad. Do you think it will become a true casual game/mobile gaming contender? Good points, Giancarlo.

You can look to iPhone/iTouch games for an example of how big the market for casual gaming is becoming, nevermind the countless amounts of people that get hooked on Facebook's casual games, such as Fishville. Even the micro-transactions/smaller scaled games that Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo do over their respective online networks are booming.

You'll still see a lot of action in the game. We've tried very had to keep all the core book elements. So, it sounds like you're looking for a girl-targeted romantic RPG? That sounds like fun! Hi Mary,

Don’t worry! You’ll still see a lot of action in the game. We’ve tried very had to keep all the core book elements.

So, it sounds like you’re looking for a girl-targeted romantic RPG? That sounds like fun!

I can see where you are coming from, and can appreciate the idea. I would be interested in seeing if you guys could tackle something "hardcore" after making Tiger Eye. Those games, like Final Fantasy, seem geared towards men. I want a game that has good action (not just obscene violence), romance, and made so the heroine isn't some busty bimbo!
