Warren Spector Interview

ComputerAndVideoGames.com was able to track down Warren Spector for a brief interview about his new development studio, Irrational Games' BioShock, and more.
What games are you currently excited about? What do you make of what you've seen of BioShock?

All I've seen of Bioshock is a feature in the June 2006 issue of PC ZONE and a bunch of post-E3 coverage. I didn't get to see it, live, at the show. Darn you, Ken Levine! After all we've been through together... What I've seen looks awesome. The art direction is especially nice, and I have a lot of confidence that Irrational will continue making the kind of games I like to make and play. Other stuff I'm excited about? Well, damn, Assassin's Creed looks awesome. Definitely a must-play for me. Valve's episodic stuff is clearly going in a great direction. Mass Effect and Mercenaries 2 from BioWare/Pandemic look sweet, and each in its own way is up my alley, design-wise. If I could jam those two games together into one 'you got chocolate in my peanut butter' experience it might be my ultimate game! And there's a new Zelda game coming for the DS - doesn't get much better than that.
