    Suffice it to say, Will Wright is a very interesting man. Only he is able to put Pokemon and Godzilla into the same discussion and still have it be within some sort of context, however insane it just might be.

    Absolutely agreed, his presentation at the EA Press Conference at this year's E3 blew my mind.

    I love listening to this fella speak. Guy is way smart. He does a great job of discussing some very advanced concepts in incredibly simple ways.
    I get this feeling that if he ever taught at a primary school, the kids would all be geniuses within weeks.

    He's probably the most knowledgeable person to talk to about games, period.  I look forward to every game he's involve in.

    I personally think Will Wright is way too smart to be making games, he should be out inventing things right now. Needless to say I'm still glad he is making creative games instead of the same streamline games on the market.
