Game and Watch: Not the future of gaming

Interactive entertainment – better known as video games or just plain old “games” – will be a big part of Tech Stream. So for our first program I thought we should look forward, into our digital crystal balls, and see what we can expect from the games and gaming world in 2009.

Australian gamers will be familiar, hopefully, with a great TV show called Good Game on ABC2. One of its presenters is Steven O’Donnel, who goes by his gaming nickname “Bajo”.  I wanted his expert opinion on the year ahead so we hooked up for a chat.  Bajo is getting pretty excited about what will happen with MMOs – massively multiplayer online games – in 2009.  He’s also keeping an eye out for the sequal to Starcraft which we’ll try to review in coming months and its going to be another year big year for console gaming too.  You can follow more gaming news and reviews at Good Game’s website.
