Forget your Nintendo's and Kojima's, the West now rules gaming.
A interview with Akira Yamaoka (the music guy from the Silent Hill series), from the December 2007 issue of Game Developer magazine.
Brandon Sheffield: What is it like working with an American team for Silent Hill 5? Is it different from having a team in-house with you?
Akira Yamaoka: It's completely different working with an American team. There are of course advantages and disadvantages, but overall, i'm really impressed with the American staff and their technology. Their graphical and technical ability is amazing. There's a huge leap, actually. They're very advanced. I'm Japanese, and I think this is not just with Silent Hill but with the whole of the industry - I look at what American developers are doing and I think wow... Japan is in trouble.

The West makes better games, and now has the best technology for making games, you can keep your MGS4's and your FFXIII, Japanese games are dated looking, and play worse than Western games.
COD4, Mass effect, Orange box, Bioshock, World of warcraft, Starcraft, ect...GO USA!!!
