Last night, I excitedly installed the pre-release of the new Cooking Dash 3 Thrills and Spills. I’ve played a few casual games in my time, but haven’t delved into them lately.

TGN Personalities
The TGN Personalities YouTube channel offers amazing coverage of the E3 convention in June 2010. They interviewed key players in several games, including MMORPGs and online browser-based games.
Video Game Devs are the secret celebrity: they develop, strategize and create new gaming concepts and bring together thousands of people to provide gaming experiences. They are the unseen faces who work hard to bring their babies to life. TGN Personalities is on the forefront of giving the dish on these gamers and the games they produce. It is as if we are in the 20s and the first movie stars are being born: the media just hasn’t caught on to the Gaming celebrities. Can’t wait to see what develops in the future for this side of TGN.
