ABSTRACT
We have gotten a peek behind the scenes at a variety of games across a variety of genres, platforms, and gameplay styles. We have looked at enormous projects e games created with multimillion dollar budgets e as well as at some truly great games developed by small teams. We have learned aboutmaking sequels to smash hits, as well as launching brand-new intellectual property. We have heard from the creators of platform-exclusive titles as well as titles released simultaneously on multiple platforms. LittleBigPlanet represents a new brand on a relatively new platform, the Sony PlayStation 3. Madden NFL 10 continues a longstanding tradition, first launched in 1989. We’ve looked at FarmVille, the most popular social game in the world, as well as World of Warcraft, the most popular Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game in the world. We’ve heard about the creation of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, the highest Metacriticrated game of 2009 on the PlayStation 3.
