   Didn't he already do this 10 years ago with The Dig?

   He also did it with Dreamworks when he started the Medal of Honor series. He made it right after Saving Private Ryan and before Band of Brothers. Not sure if there are any other though.

   Wouldn't it just be about saving holocaust survivors from the bad nazis?

   I'm not so sure I'd enjoy a game directed by Spielberg. First, you'd be armed with only a walkie talkie. Then, at the end of the game, you'd wind up hugging a family or something.

   Speaking of Lucas

   I always thought Grim Fandango would have made an excellent movie.
   
   I don't think the solution to bad video game concepts is to slap a big-time director on it. A bad video-game concept is a bad video-game concept. What the video-game industry needs is a label that isn't afraid to take a few chances, maybe create a video game NOT targeted towards 13 year old boys.

   A good video game is not about it's theme as much as about it's learning curve. If every time you play it you come out feeling like if you had just done X you would have made it this time, then it is a good game; the rest is window dressing. A good adrenalin rush helps too. :-}

    In reality, Speilberg's most likely just lending his name to a product. He may be involved at the "yeah, i like that/ no, i don't like that" stage, but I doubt SS is going to be chillin' out with the programmers.
    
    He's a film director, not a gamer. They are almost diametrically opposed spheres: one is completely passive, the other interactive.

    Really, so "A Holocaust szemei" (2000), "The Last Days" (1998), "The Lost Children" (1997), and "Survivors of the Holocaust" (1996) were not about the Holocaust? Or I won't comment about his many other movies where holocaust imagery comes into play, like Twilight Zone, Indiana Jones, or War of the Worlds.

    Wasn't Steven Spielberg responsible for the Earthworm Jim platform game?
