OXCGN's staffer Aaron Bertinetti grabs some time with Mark Rein and discusses the issues around Shadow Complex and GEARS. Slip over and check it out now, well worth the read.

In a sprawling, jovial interview with Mark Rein, Vice President of Epic Games, we got talking about the high overall quality of the titles on show at E3 2009. Eventually we discussed Shadow Complex and what the future holds for XBLA, including the quality and value of downloadable games across all platforms. But first a bit of context…

The rising tide has raised all the boats.

Like there’s no question to me that all the games look better. You know they’re all getting better and better. I mean I loved the Modern Warfare 2 presentation they did in the Microsoft conference. But everything’s gotten a little bit better and as a game developer it’s a challenge to make each game better than the last one. And so I’ve been really impressed by the overall quality of games which is just great, all round.
