This is Vegas

March 21st 2008 Posted in Uncategorized

Ever since I joined Surreal in August of 2005, upon their completion of The Suffering: Ties that Bind, I’ve been laboring over a different sort of game than those I’ve worked on in the past. While this one isn’t as easy to classify to my friends and family, not being the typical “Military Shooter”, “X-Men RPG” or “Star Wars Game”, it’s been a great application of the knowledge gained from all those games. Overall it’s been an enriching experience, making me think of new ways to tackle old problems, as well as come up with solutions to entirely new challenges. If anything it’s a fantastic breather from “shooter of the month”, and the primary reason I joined Surreal at that time.
