| This issue is again a little late arriving,
as we have been very pre-occupied with our XBLA product
due for release soon, and also a PC product due for Japan.
When deadlines press the quarterly tends to drop down
the priority list! This issue moves into one new area
not talked about in preceding issues, that of Puzzles.
This is a huge area which is expected to balloon given
the growth of casual games. The second article returns
to the thorny issue of game AI testing, and also offers
an invaluable freebie in-house utility which we make extensive
use of. |
