Still, I have faith the DMA > gameplay will shine through as ever... Again, glad you liked it :) As for 3D, I can't possibly comment... Let's just say, Dave Jones is already on record as saying we tried 3D & didn't like it. Take from that what you will. GTA2 hasn't even been officially announced yet, so anything is liable to change. Body Harvest is looking like a very indepth, long lasting game with bags of gameplay. Everyone who's played it at length has loved it. I've still to have a decent sit down with a recent version though! :) > Dundee I think.

Find out incriminating stories. :) As for the Edinburgh office, we're in the process of getting a building & then we'll moving some teams down there. It'll be a mixture of experienced chappies from Dundee with some new starts to "make up the numbers" so to speak. We're always on the lookout for people with experience and/or talent... ;) -- Brian @ DMA [ All opinions & views are my own, not DMA's, yadda, yadda, yadda ]
