It seems there was a lot of news today at the Game Developers Conference. During the Keynote address Microsoft announced they would be the first console ever to not only promote community developed games but also make those available on the XBL arcade service. This would automatically add over a 1000 games to the service. The big thing here is that this move would provide talented community members with a solid outlet to display their talents. Microsoft has not said if the games made by the community would be free or not but expect a lot more on this in the next few days.

I think if you really wanted to create a kick but game try having the makers of Rainbow six Vegas make a call of duty or use their hide behind and gun first creep around obsticles feature just the thought of a war game with that capability makes me have to wipe my chin
At one stroke Microsoft have removed all the barriers to game development and more importantly to game publishing. We will have a flowering of innovation and creativity beyond anything the game industry has ever seen before. Probably beyond what any creative industry has ever seen before. The last explosion in gaming creativity was the bedroom Sinclair Spectrum coders in the 1980s (we have been going downhill creatively ever since), this will be thousands of times bigger. The possibilities are infinite.
