Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

The Level Up blog is running a set of interviews they did with Cory Barlog just after he left Sony and it’s very interesting. And timely, as I’m just starting to play my rental of God of War: Chains of Olympus. That’s no accident, of course, but back to the interview. In it, Cory basically says he left Sony for pretty similar reasons to why David Jaffe left. He wants to have the ability to work on a variety of interesting projects and while staying at Sony would have been safe and lucrative for him, and he would have worked on one of the most popular franchises in Sony’s possession, he wouldn’t have been able to get the kind of creative variety he wanted.

It’s a very interesting pair of interviews and I highly recommend you sit down with a cup of your favorite beverage and read them. While some of his laments may sound a little bit whiny for someone with so much success, hear him out, especially if you saw how tense and tough it was working on God of War II in the behind-the-scenes DVD that shipped with that game.
