We’re currently doing a review for Laser Disco Defenders on PlayStation Vita, so we got in touch with the game’s developer to talk a bit about the game and it’s release on Sony’s portable console.

PS3Blog: Hi! Welcome. Good to have you with us for this interview. Care to get us going by introducing yourself to our audience?

My name is Alexander Birke and I run the small game company Out Of Bounds Games based in Bristol, UK. I have worked in the games industry for about 5 years as a programmer and game designer, but always wanted to have my own studio and create my own games driven by novel game mechanics. A dream that became a reality last year and has now culminated in Out Of Bounds’ first release.

[Interview] Red Phantom Games – Minutes

February 18, 2015 | EdEN | 2 Comments

We got a chance to talk with Red Phantom Games about Minutes, the new PlayStation 4 and Vita release from the indie developer.

PS3B: Hello and welcome Richard! Thank you for joining us. Could you please get us started by giving our readers some information about who you are and what it is that you do?

I’m the founder and director of Red Phantom Games which is a one-man (me) indie studio based in Leamington Spa in the U.K. I’ve been in the games industry for over 18 years and was a co-founder of Bigbig Studios (Pursuit Force on PSP and others). After the closure of Bigbig I decided to go it alone and decided to set myself the challenge of developing a console game almost entirely on my own. That means I deal with nearly everything – design, programming, planning, all the publishing and other aspects of the business side. The creation of art and audio are outsourced as I don’t think I’m really qualified to work on those areas.

Spike’s Video Game Awards 2012 “VGA 10” Event Photos plus Metal Gear 25th Anniversary After Party

December 19, 2012 | PAUL FIERCE | 10 Comments

For some odd reason, Metal Gear’s 25th Anniversary celebrations are still going on. Spike’s VGA 10 after party was actually the after party for the awards show coupled with MG 25th anniversary. Yes it’s strange as Konami already threw a party for them at PAX PRIME Seattle which I attended as well.

In any case, the event was filled with surprises. Oly and I met great people among the industry and got to party with the whole Konami crew. As expected, the awards show was long and once again over produced. Never the less, we still had a great time! Here are the pictures!
