Plague Reverse Marketing

We've heard of "reverse marketing" - taking something odious and making it fun - but never seen reverse marketing executed so effectively as Plague, Inc. This new table top game wants to infect your kitchen table, desktop and mind. Too Good.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Mobile gaming is fully upon us. I'm designing CrowdFunde, our crowdfunding and content marketing app, now and creating mobile first. Bet video games head in the same direction - create the mobile game first then, if the numbers merit it, move to game consoles, laptops and desktops.

Gotten so I think of all Internet marketing as a game and the smartphone as the game console (lol). This LA Times article about Zynga making FarmVille for Mobile is a SOT (Sign of the Times). M

Battle Cats Rule The World
This game sounds just strange enough to be fun. From a Japanese game developer and capable of creating and unlocking strange characters cats are truly taking over the world.

The other day I was thinking, as I scooped my Bengal's poop, that if an alien observed what I was working so hard on they would think I was the slave and my cat Lucian is in charge. And they would be RIGHT (lol).

Threes A Mobile Game & "Design Marvel" Worth Your Play - CNET

Threes A Mobile Game & "Design Marvel" Worth Your Play - CNET | Must Play | Scoop.it

Certainly not with titles like Flappy Bird seemingly taking over the world, earning $50,000 a day off our meaningless compulsions and further cementing the well of condescension "hardcore" gamers have for the mobile platform and its capacity.


That's where Threes comes in. Released Wednesday as a universal iPhone and iPad app, the $1.99 title -- a simple math-based puzzler with gorgeous design and catchy music -- is what a overtly refreshing, downright fantastic mobile game should be.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Beautiful and a little crazy (lol). M
