Neocolonialism
Subaltern Games
Neocolonialism is an online multiplayer game for 3-6 players about global financial ruin. Play as a capitalist and extract as much money from the world as possible‚ but ideally, more than your buddies are extracting. It is a game of world domination that does not have nukes, but does have austerity packages. It is not a serious game, but it is a sarcastic game. In a world full of ostensibly topical games, this one pretty darn topical. If you play it, you will buy and sell Bonds, vote in Parliament, divest into Swiss Bank Accounts, and screw over people.
The Boston Festival of Indie Games offers the opportunity for festival attendees to play video games, live action games and board games in a casual environment. Other fest features include a digital art exhibit, film screenings and special guest speakers. A special showcase will highlight games developed by the MIT Game Lab, plus sponsored demos will be available from participating studios such as Concord-based game studio Stomp Games, with their new title, Robot Rising. For complete details and pre-register to attend, please visit www.bostonfig.com.

Are you talking about the dolnowad-able games? If so, everything should be fine. The next generation of consoles will use the same market (PSN/XBL) as today, probably just an upgraded version. So your stuff will be saved. Too early to be thinking ahead, next consoles should be out by late 2013.
