Dark Sector Producer Q&A with Digital Extremes. The release is getting closer and I went deep undercover to dig into one of this year’s highly anticipated titles. It’s been on the minds of many for a while and it even made its way on my Best of PAX feature a few months ago. Have a seat and enjoy the article before the March 25th release of the game.

The Interview
Army of Two Producer Q&A with EA Montreal. Most of you have read my review of Army of Two and it turned out to be a review that received some amazing feedback.
“Your review should be the benchmark for this game because it’s objective, and puts the game in perspective from a Gamers point of view.” - Bumble14.
Now I have even more of the coverage you love. I had a chance to submit a Q&A to EA Montreal made up of community questions about Army of Two. I took all the Aggro for the Q&A so that you all could relax and simply read. And here are the groovy results.

It’s always nice to sit down and find out more about a game from those who developed it. That’s one of the really cool things U360 allows and one I always enjoy. I had the opportunity to find out more about NinjaBee’s Band of Bugs from Lead Designer, Jeremy Throckmorton. The guys and girls at Wahoo Studios are always a pleasure to work with. You all should be fans after the Bug Out giveaway here on U360.
Band of Bugs is available now in the Xbox Live Arcade for 800 Microsoft Points. If you haven’t purchased the game and you want to know more about it, here’s your chance. U360 presents the Band of Bugs Q&A.

I had a chance to kidnap Strange Flavour’s own Aaron Fothergill for an exclusive first look at the Xbox Live Arcade title, Spyglass Board Games. Spyglass is set to debut on Wednesday, August 1 for 400 Microsoft Points.
Aaron and Strange Flavour previously gave fans the first (and only) gesture based game for the Xbox 360, Totemball. They’re at it again alongside Freeverse to provide another first with the video chat feature!
Not much is known about this upcoming title but that’s about to change. I had to travel deep in the heart of the UK for this one so sit down, relax and read as I go one on one with Aaron about Spyglass Board Games. (and no I didn’t really kidnap him; he’s in the UK and I couldn’t cover luggage expenses)

Unscripted 360 Episode #21 w/Jeff Peters Superman Returns [37:13m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadSpace. The final frontier. It’s time to boldly go where no man has gone before. Bethesda Softworks and Mad Doc Software have teamed up to bring something that quitely frankly hasn’t been done before. And that is giving Trekkies a game that covers the entire Star Trek universe all in one offering from TV to film with Star Trek: Legacy. I had a chance to ask Gary Conti, Associate Producer at Mad Doc Software, some questions about the upcoming Xbox 360 title, Star Trek: Legacy.
First off I’d like to thank you for taking some time to sit down for the Q&A. Can you tell the readers who you are and what you do as it pertains to Star Trek: Legacy?
Hi I’m Gary Conti, I’m an Associate Producer at Mad Doc Software, the developer of Legacy. I am involved in all aspects of production, with a focus on managing development.
I know you’re ready for some Totemball but before the game is released, take a seat and join me as I go head to head with Strange Flavour’s own Aaron Fothergill, part of the brains behind the title.
First things first…I’d like to thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions about the Xbox Live Arcade release, Totemball. Can you tell us who you are and your involvement with the game?
I’m Aaron Fothergill and I’m Managing Director and Lead Coder at Strange Flavour. We’re only a small company though, so before I get too big headed I also have to point out that I’m also vice president of washing up and emptying the bins.
