I also recommend Unity to anyone who will listen and I'm glad these guys are giving it a good name. I'm still curious about how Flashbang makes any money though. They seem very coy about that and maybe they should be to avoid successful competition but I'd love some concrete ...
Tim, can I agree with both the article and your statements I think so. As someone who understands technical limitations but still has dreams of taking the medium further I really think the truth lies in between. I would neither want a novice leading the way nor a grizzled designer ...
Even going in knowing that Far Cry 2 would play differently it took me a bit to warm up to it. However, I think the risks they took were worth it and I hope more devs take something from it. As a side note: I think they have you personally ...

Good advice. Fairly common sense, but I think many of us could use reminders. Now we just need someone to write an article on how to get through the HR / resume filter and get that interview in the first place.
Great summation, Chris. The funny thing is that I have been enjoying two of those games on 360 rather than the PC Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2. My favorite of the two by far has been Fallout 3 but I have given Far Cry 2 a chance thanks in ...
