Is prompt-based gaming a bad thing? And is there anything new to Xbox XP?

Hello there.

We’ve got a busy week ahead of us on The Game Business. Not only do we have some cracking shows for you, we also have an on-stage interview on Thursday in Middlesbrough, UK, with the father of PlayStation, Ken Kutaragi.

In fact, there are load of live appearances from The Game Business over the next two months. Including at London’s MCM Comic-Con, where we’re hosting a series of talks and panels, with one featuring game legend John Romero.

By the way, if you’re in London at the end of October, you can come to that comic-con for free, and there’s industry drinks and an industry conference, which are also free. Here’s a link for comic-con industry passes, and here’s a conference and party link. Hopefully see you there.

Anyway, this week on Here’s The Dring, I’m going to be talking about AI following the news of Google’s new Playground. And I’ll touch upon that Xbox XP announcement, too.
