This popped up in my blog alerts for Kongregate. I definitely agree with Chris that user-gen as a source of innovation, but I'd say that's already happening. While not everything that's popular on our site is innovative, a lot of it is.

This popped up in my blog alerts for Kongregate. I definitely agree with Chris that user-gen as a source of innovation, but I'd say that's already happening. While not everything that's popular on our site is innovative, a lot of it is. For instance:

The Majesty of Colors
I Wish I Were the Moon
Aether
Amorphous+
Submachine 5
IncrediBots

I think 'discussing the human condition' isn't necessarily what games are uniquely suited to. They certainly can – but what they really do best is say: here's a little world (or a big one) with a little set of rules – explore it, master it, and see what you think about it…
