101 Things You Didn't Know About Games

Games Radar has a cool little feature up right now, called “101 Things You Didn’t Know About Games.” It’s basically a long list of trivia that relates to the gaming industry, but there are a few little factoids that are pretty interesting. Most of them deal with explanations of obscure references developers inserted in their games, like the fact that the titular “Pikmin” were named after Shigeru Miyamoto’s dog. Others relate to some odd events, like how the main voice actor for Silent Hill 2 ended up being cast while taking his daughter to another audition. My personal favorite is the revelation that Raz, the protagonist of Psychonauts (shown right), was originally going to be an ostrich. Hmm, guess they kept the legs. There’s really something interesting for everyone there.
