Game Development
Put your passion for gaming to work
Everywhere you look today people of all ages are playing games – on their computers, cell phones and online. Last year alone, more than 8.5 million people subscribed to online role-playing games.
In fact, it is predicted that the game industry will out-produce all other entertainment media including movies and music. Global industry sales for console games are predicted to grow to $34.7 billion by 2012. In the United States, sales of all types of video and computer games will increase to $11.7 billion.
