This is the de facto of gaming forums. It is famously known as the place to find news before
any other online gaming Web site. Developers from everywhere, gaming media, publishers,
gamers, and just about every else related to the industry goes there, so there's
quite a lot of good conversation to be had. Add the fact that there aren't any
trolls and very little fanboys, it makes it a very enjoyable place to go.
If you're a developer in the industry, this is THE place to be. It's a private forum only for videogame
developers (no publishers or media allowed). There is a wealth of great, insightful information from over
2000 developers from LA to Tokyo discussing about the latest issues with game development.
This is a Japanese Gaming Industry Web site headed by my good friend, Dylan Cuthbert. What makes it unique
is that this a sub-site of his company's Web site. His company, of course, is Q-Games; A respected game
developer who has close ties with Sony Computer Entertainment and Nintendo. If you can read Japanese, this is a great place
to go for a different perspective of the industry!
Probably the most high quality gaming media Web site out there right now. The reviews are always right on the mark
and the staff is very knowledgable. If I ever want a balanced, informed opinion on a game, I go here.
This hilarious Web comic focuses on various issues and events in the gaming industry. The unique style and witty sense
of humor never fail to get a smile out of me. Check it out.

A knowledgable technical artist who knows 3D better than you know your face. He's also one of my
oldest friends in Montreal and a great guy all around. Right now, he's working at A2M as an artistic
technical director on a number of videogame titles. RESPECT!
Xavier is one of the most talented musicians I have had the pleasure working with. Not only is he a great person to work with,
but I've been a fan of his music for years. I still find myself selectively choosing his tunes because they are just that good!
Although he isn't officially working in the game industry (yet), he is easily
in the top 10% of composers in the videogame world, so do him (and yourself) a favor by visiting his site.
Dylan previously worked on Starfox (SNES) and Blasto (PSone) and with what he's working on now, you could call him one of the
top programmers in the industry. His Web site is a great place to go for little programming related tidbits and there's also an
interesting part of the site telling about his history in the gaming industry. He plays a mean game of Battlefield 1942, as well. ;)
David is a very talented 3D artist/teacher who I met through GamaSutra. I really liked his manga adaptations to 3D and this was precisely the reason why I tapped his
talent for Chrono Resurrection. Right now, he's teaching Maya at an art academy, in China. It should also be noted that David is one
of the most hardcore Rurouni Kenshin fans I know of... Second only to ME! :)
