    Come on, you got to try harder than that ;)

    Trip Hawkins tried to compete in the market with 3D0. No sucess, but I'm sure it taught him something about the console biz.

    Steven Kent. Writer - here's his book:

    Greg Zeschuk. Bioware -- ring a bell? Bioware did the enormously successfull Neverwinter nights game. It's even got a Linux client, for heaven's sake.

  2. Bioware has Xbox experience, too by radicalskeptic · · Score: 4, Informative

    Don't forget, while Bioware's Neverwinter Nights was not released for the Xbox, they also produced Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, probably still the best RPG released for Microsoft's console. They're also working on Jade Empire , which will be an Xbox exclusive, and was specifically designed from the start for the Xbox.
