A couple good game interviews

Here is a pretty good short interview with MMORPG icon Jessica Mulligan. We have had the opportunity lately to speak with Jessica. She even attened one of Jonathan's recent executive advisory councils. She has been making MMORPG's before that's what they were called, and she has a great perspective on the industry. You will have to register (free) with the site to view. However, it is a great site for game development information, so it is worth it.

If you want to get a feel for where the business powers live in the games industry today check out this interview. A successful game developer is shutting down his game studios and taking his art to Hollywood. It is pretty scary to think that retailers and publishers are deciding what games we get to play. I said it before, digital distribution of games will be huge – mainly because of these dynamics.

Finally, just to get one more Star Wars reference in this week, here is a preview of all the Star Wars mobile games that THQ Wireless has on tap. Maybe I need a new phone.
