Don't let Gamespot rain on your genius Warren!

I played the crap out of the little cardboard "chit" game OGRE. Old school cred confirmed, Warren! :)

To use Warren's quote, he does 'burn with a passion for gaming.' Excellent advice, too!

If anyone is entitled to brag about their gaming accomplishments, it's this guy! He's been involved with some of my favourite games of all time - Thief, System Shock and Deus Ex. Not that Warren is involved, but I hope that Deus Ex 3 and Thief 4 uphold such epic traditions :-)

very nice guy, I met him myself and he can be a bit extreme at times but mostly totally agree with his concept and direction on games. As for free time, I personally gave up TV, movies and so on to play games in my free time haha. Also really nice to see how he was given a chance and made such a big impact on the industry. I mean, the industry is so elite now that I see a lot of good possible "game designers" gone to waste.

I've always liked Warren Spector. He has down to earth, clear vision, and comes across as any other normal guy doing what he loves. It's hard not to like him.

It's not difficult to see why he's the Unseen Juggernaut of the gaming world; if you haven't played a game he was involved it, I can almost guarantee that you've played a game influenced by his work.I love how well-spoken and cultured he is, this guy's one of my heroes.

Warren Spector is a gaming legend. Even if Epic Mickey were to disappoint, I still wouldn't hold it against Mr. Spector. During his time at Origin, Mr. Spector helped make some of my favorite games of all time. He is one of the greats.

A wonderful man! He isn't bittered, but I can't help but feel he pity's the fact he never earned his PhD. Dr. Warren Spector would've sounded really cool, now doesn't it?
