The first developer diary for upcoming XBLA title, War of the Worlds, is now available. Head of Development, Mike Mica and the rest of the Other Ocean Interactive team talk enthusiastically about the creative processes that went into this cinematic side-scrolling platformer. Mike describes his gaming influences and showing a passion for the original text, goes on to explain how they wanted to create their own vision rather than replicate either the recent Tom Cruise movie or the 1953 version. Original artwork, a live orchestra soundtrack and narration by Patrick Stewart this is certainly looking to be one to watch.
