Therapy involves a PS2 or Xbox controller whose responsiveness is determined by the patient's concentration. Using this, patients can learn to rewire their brains. This type of treatment can be done without video games, but they provide strong motivation for people to complete their regimen."

Flash isn't a bad platform for retro titles. It's powerful enough to handle 2d graphics and there are no publishers to hold you back. I feel there is still a lot of invovation that can be done with older genres.

The Game Conference is a good example - a roguelike that takes the genre in a new direction.
