Microsoft had a booth where they were demoing Missile Command, Centipede, and Asteroids running in the IE11 browser. I'm pretty sure everyone made fun of them. The game that impressed me most was Dwarven Delve . It wasn't high graphics or super artistic, but it looked like they had actually created a different kind of play strategy that would be novel and fun to play. Most of the games were just enhanced versions of other games, but that one looked fresh. It's in Alpha now. They say it will be out for OS X, WIN, & Android soonish.

Yeah, I was keeping my eye out for you guys, but I guess you were in the other 50,000 people. :-) I was on the 3rd floor near the escalators a lot of Saturday, but we were hard to see when the line at the inflatable rubber balls booth got too long. Next time: tracking collars!
