We’ve also got an in-depth examination into the process behind licensing a third-party games engine – or choosing to build your own – plus news on the expansion of Foundation 9 Entertainment into Europe and its plans for future growth.

Elsewhere, our opinion pieces look at violent games, more mergers and acquisitions in the games industry – plus an argument that designers should take QA more seriously.

We’ve also got a special look at EA’s Graduate Recruitment strategy.
