Canada is videogames | S03E13
If you’ve lived in Canada for even just a few months, you’ve probably heard someone say something like, “Canada is hockey.” And while I heartily believe that’s true, there’s something else that Canada is that I think gets overlooked by the mainstream public: Canada is videogames.
With over 200 game studios in the country, we’re a pretty prolific nation when it comes to producing top-notch games. Look no further than BioWare’s recent release of Mass Effect 3 for clear evidence of that.
That’s the reason Scott and I asked Ramin Ostad and Matt Dykstra — two hosts from UserCreatedContent, Edmonton’s videogame podcast — to join us on this episode of the Unknown Studio to talk about the industry, trends in gaming, and the forthcoming Canadian Videogame Awards.
