The Top 25 Game Industry Heroes for 2008

Edge Online has put together a list of twenty-five people they feel made the greatest impact on the game industry over the past 12 months. Activision Blizzard's Mike Morhaime and Lionhead Studios' Louise Copley are both represented:
No-one can take away the immense contribution Lionhead chief Peter Molyneux has made on gaming, but, as executive producer of Fable II, it was Copley who drove the game to completion, and nailed the sometimes wayward imagination of her boss into something complete and on time. Fable II is a beautiful adventure which, despite the odd bug, was packed with humor and emotional charge. Copley pulled together a dramatic masterpiece, weaving together the work of a creative team and satisfying an extremely demanding public.
