I know that others have made LOST bingo cards before, but the ones I’ve seen only had 2-3 different card variations, so you couldn’t play with a group. They also only had about 30 items, so there was a lot of overlap.
For these cards, I’ve started with 70 items and created 10 cards with random permutations of that starting set. So while some of the elements repeat, no two cards are the same! Al...
First, on the topic of games, I have a small update to a story we ran last week. I had been speculating that Epic Games would announce the Unreal Engine for Android and I was completely wrong. Epic unveiled the Unreal Engine for Palm’s webOS and that was it for mobile.

Previously, you could buy them with a credit card or PayPal. Now the game offers Facebook Credits as an option. Facebook Credits are the number-one option, actually.

Earlier this week, BoomTown visited MySpace HQ in Beverly Hills, Calif. to interview its new co-presidents , Michael Jones and Jason Hirschhorn, and get a look-see at its evolving revival plans to stop the social networking ship from sinking further.
Thus, I got a tour of a storyboard-like room at MySpace, where the team is trying to formulate the “discover and be discovered” motto it is now us...
The Google sponsored Game Developers Conference starts tomorrow and we are expecting some major Android announcements. In anticipation for tomorrow, Google has updated the Android NDK (r3) so applications can now directly access OpenGL ES 2.0 features.
