GR: Gears of War 2?
AR: That'll be good. That's actually a war game too, but that'll be good.

GR: Do you see a release date on that?
AR: That'll be within the next couple months. That'll be summertime. Although that's a fighting war game... it'll be a good one.

GR: Xbox Live is experiencing a lot of hiccups right now. When do you see that getting better?
AR: Xbox Live, I don't see that as a bad thing. But I see some of the technology behind the internet services. The internet connection is what's giving it a hard time. There's a glitch in the internet connections. People are playing these games and getting cut off and getting disconnected.

GR: So it's not the infrastructure being strained?
AR: No.

GR: Spore?
AR: I don't see it being good.

GR: Do you see a new Zelda game?
AR: Zelda, yes. Zelda, will be good.

GR: So you see one on the horizon that we aren't aware of?
AR: Yes.

GR: Do you see it taking a more cel-shaded, Wind Waker style, or something closer to Twilight Princess?
AR: Not 3-D, but all these new graphics are very intense. Like Pixar, like that animation. It'll be up to date. All these old games are going to be coming back out. All these old games are going to get really popular again. It'll be something that is up to date. The Xbox 360 is going to be really, really successful. And it's going to stay successful for a while.

GR: Well, what can you tell me about the PS3?
AR: I feel that's connected to Sony. That's going to be real good, too.

GR: Do you see a winner of the console wars?
AR: Right now, the 360 looks like it's taking the lead, it looks like. The Wii is in high demand, but not a lot of people can get their hands on it. That's the problem with the Wii.

GR: Is there any end to the shortages?
AR: It doesn't look like it. It looks like that shortage is going to continue. It might be something Nintendo is doing to create more of a demand for their games, so they can continue selling it.

GR: Do you think they are manufacturing a demand like this?
AR: Yeah. I think so. Something to do with the marketing. Whether it has to do with now or five years from now people are going to be trying to get their hands on it. Videogames don't last very long. There was Playstation 1, then Playstation 2. With the way that Nintendo is messing with this Wii, they're keeping it unavailable, though everybody still wants one. That will still be successful. But the #1 will still be Xbox.

GR: BioShock? It seemed to have a finite ending. But we're hearing talks about another one. What do you see regarding a new game?
AR: I don't see anything.

GR: Do you see anything involving Rapture, or a man named Andrew Ryan?
AR: No.

GR: So not in 2008? Or a prequel?
AR: I see them pitching ideas, attempting something, but I don't see it being successful. I don't think that the first one was successful.

GR: Do you see anything as far as Portal is concerned?
AR: They should already have something out like this now, don't they?

GR: They do, but it’s a very short game.
AR: That'll actually start in the summertime. Summertime is going to be a big break for all these video games.

GR: A big break?
AR: Is this normally when the videogames come out? I would think it would be Christmas. But for some reason I see all these changes, all these opportunities in summertime. At the earliest, May. May is going to be the start of big things.

GR: What do you see as far as HD DVD and Blu-ray?
AR: Blu-Ray is going to be huge. Anything else is going to be obsolete and excluded. Just as when the DVD came out, no one went back to VHS... Blu-Ray's going to be the new thing in 2008.

GR: So HD DVD - how long do you see that format hanging around?
AR: I see it being strong. There's a lot of changes in TVs is well.

GR: Do you see anything in the works with a DVR integrated into the PS3 and 360?
AR: They should already have something like that in the works, don't they? That'll be very successful.

GR: Can you give us an indication as to when these will come out?
AR: I see more of this coming out towards the end of the year. But I don't see that happening until the new year. 2009.
