		<title>Google Adwords &#8211; what a joke it is!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am shocked. Really. Seriously. Few weeks ago I created an ad in AdWords for our newest game &#8211; Avalon Legends Solitaire. Of course it had to be approved, which already ruined whole thing. It takes weeks to approve adds and makes the whole thing of tweaking your ad impossible, unless you wish to spend [...]]]></description>

		<title>Exciting times &#8211; Avalon Legends Solitaire release</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Releasing new games is exciting and stressful at the same time. We &#8220;just&#8221; released Avalon Legends Solitaire &#8211; few weeks ago on our site and now as 30-days exclusive at BFG. This is our first exclusive and I keep the fingers crossed. Hopefully it will be our best selling game. Having the game released as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bejeweled 3, FarmScapes and Cradle of Rome 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we finished working on Dress-Up Pups I didn&#8217;t expect to get in competition with such strong match-3 franchises. Within one week you could try 4 high quality match-3 games: our Dress-Up Pups, Cradle of Rome 2, Bejeweled 3 and FarmScapes. Though we have to compete with strong franchises it doesn&#8217;t mean we don&#8217;t stand [...]]]></description>

		<title>Know the Holidays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you heard about Black Friday? Or Cyber Monday? I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard about xmas though :) The world has a lot of holidays and you can&#8217;t keep the track of each of them, but it&#8217;s good to know at least the most common one (for the world) or the most money squeezing ones. Black [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top Portals by friends count</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was checking out few portals today (Halloween is coming and they start to release my Spooky Runes). While browsing iWin I found out they have Facebook friends list with quite a big number of friends. This inspired me to check out other portals to see if portals real power translates to number of friends [...]]]></description>

		<title>This is why portals sell more than you do!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2008 wasn&#8217;t a good year. This was the year of recession. The year of price drop to $6.99 on portals. The year when portals started war for and against exclusives. A lot of things happened I couldn&#8217;t keep up. In the middle of 2008 I started development of GabCab with Reflexive and Russell Carroll. This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is casual games market still growing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hear a lot about drop in revenues from casual games. That&#8217;s something I didn&#8217;t experience myself (luckily), but it&#8217;s something worth taking into account. The fact that I&#8217;m making more money this year than I did last year may be just fooling me. I typed &#8220;casual games recession&#8221; in google and one of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The business of games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seth Godin made a post about the business of software and I&#8217;d love to hear / read similar thing regarding the business of games. Some of his thoughts are related to games too. For sure in casual games we&#8217;re in drag dealer model (free trial versions) and those of you that sell via portals are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soccer Cup Solitaire post mortem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Creating games is not easy and it&#8217;s always great to read some afterthoughts. I thought that I&#8217;ll share our experience with development of Soccer Cup Solitaire. Let me say few words about the game. Soccer Cup Solitaire is a card game with soccer theme. Some say it&#8217;s not solitaire, because you just match similar cards [...]]]></description>

		<title>Games are too cheap, that&#8217;s why we invented Collectors Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Price wars dropped the price of casual games from $19.99 to $6.99. It happened fast and didn&#8217;t leave us much time to accommodate. Now new problem arises. Prices are still low, but development budgets are getting bigger and bigger. Folks at Big Fish Games have realized that $6.99 games can not support development budgets of [...]]]></description>
