Saber interactive just hired industry veteran Rick Raymo - Image 1

The independent game development studio Saber Interactive, who is responsible for video games like TimeShift and Will Rock, is happy to announce that it just hired one of the industry's veterans to head Saber's game content division. That guy is Rick Raymo and he sure has a lot under his belt.

Raymo has been working in the video game industry for 19 years now, and about 30 titles are credited under his name. Some of the more notable ones include Duke Nukem 3D projects, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Death Rally and Max Payne. The creative director also used to work with companies such as I.D.G., GT Interactive, GameSpy, Red Jade, Interactive Studio Management, and Hudson Soft. Before Rick Raymo accepted his new post at Saber, he was working with HBO Interactive Entertainment as a production executive, and was responsible for spearheading efforts to create interactive properties out of the company's internal licenses.

Saber's new guy wasn't able for comment, but the company mentioned that Rick Raymo is more than happy to join them. He will be stationed at Saber's HQ in New Jersey and from time to time, he will also be making his rounds in Saber's production studio in St. Petersburg, Russia. Most of his work will be focused on the design and production team who are working on current and upcoming next generation titles.

Welcome aboard Saber's ship Rick Raymo!

Little BritainThe cult comedy show Little Britain has undergone quite a number of transformations already. It actually started as a character-based BBC radio show. After it gained a huge following, it was then converted into a television sketch show and is set to return for a Christmas special this year. Also, it is no secret that American versions are coming out in 2007, both for HBO and film.

What the heck is Little Britain doing on QJ? Developer Blast Entertainment announced today that a game version of the show is currently in the works for the PC, PS2 and PSP. The first two versions are to appear in January 2007, while the PSP one is scheduled for a little later.

Details about the game are still scarce as of the moment. However, we understand that the game will simulate an episode of Little Britain with gamers having to complete several mini-games to advance. Levels are categorized by skits with the end credits being the last level (and most hardest?). We really have no idea as to how the game would go but  the mini-games will be based from the show's characters:
  • Lou and Andy
  • chav Vicky Pollard
  • Mr. Mann
  • transvestites Emily and Florence
  • fat fighter Marjorie Dawes
  • Daffyd Thomas (the "only gay in the village")
  • Judy and Maggie
  • Letty
