HTML5 game development could be one of the hot topics of Google I/O. Yesterday we got word of Strike Fortress, a technically impressive multiplayer title from EA, and today a new team has announced a set of development tools designed to help create HTML5 games quickly and easily. PlayCanvas, started by former developers from Sony and Activision, provides a collaborative environment specifically for building browser-based 3D games.
The drawback right now is that PlayCanvas games currently won't work in mobile browsers like Chrome for Android and Safari on iOS. This is because those browsers don't yet support WebGL, though the team expects mobile support to "improve in the coming months." The current demos are definitely on the simple side, but the PlayCanvas team says its combination of a "professional standard" 3D engine, design tools,...

At the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in Taipei today, Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, told the audience that the iOS title Infinity Blade is "the most profitable game we've ever made — in terms of man years invested versus revenue, it's more profitable than Gears of War."

French site Puissance Nintendo has managed to take an early look at the 3DS XL, announced by Nintendo last week and coming to the US on August 19. The extra-large handheld is reportedly much more comfortable than the previous model, and surprisingly light despite the inflated size. The site also says that the larger screen gives an improved 3D experience with the effect being less stressful on the eyes. The one drawback appears to be a lack of power in the speakers, though the viewing did take place in a noisy room.
Now, the 3DS XL's screen is roughly 90 percent larger than the original...
