Market share

I'm sure I read on the Reg somewhere that Mac/Linux versions will be coming out...just not yet.

Dublin college introduces video game degree

2:1 Requirement

It's a Masters degree. It's supposed to be for the elite. It's not supposed to be for the rest of us. I speak as someone who would love to do a course like this, but who messed up finals and got a 3rd.
