For a long time the top spot of our ‘We want to interview’ list has been occupied by Chris Taylor.
His early work on such games as Hardball II, 4D Boxing, Triple Play Baseball. Then moving on to create Total Annihilation and it’s expansion pack, The Core Contingency, and Dungeon Siege. He is now currently the CEO and Creative Director of GasPoweredGames.
Total Annihilation has been acclaimed as a masterpiece and the defining example for the classical period of the RTS genre. Supreme Commander is shaping up for similar praise, as it carries Chris’s trademark technological and gameplay innovations. With it’s up-and-coming release, we were honored to get a live interview with Chris during his busy pre-launch schedule to talk about Supreme Commander, epic ping-pong-table-sized games of Risk, and other bedlam. My favorite quote being:

Yet another coincidence falling along the release of the Burning Crusade expansion. N-Gage is coming out with a new device, we’re still questioning the first one. PAX 2007 has been announced, GenCon Socal has announced that it’s going to close it’s doors. All this and more in Show 140!
