According to a report by The Courier, Hetherington has not put up all the money to buy the in-development PC game, but is involved with the US company that has insisted on remaining anonymous since the purchase. Project MyWorld remains in development in Dundee with a staff of just over 20 employees, and the game is expected to be released early next year. ]]></description>

The market research company claimed 58 per cent of users had played a social game, with 68 per cent of those doing so within the last year. 17 per cent of those who played social games asserted that they were "addicted" to them, though the survey did not investigate whether this meant they were simply compelled to play often or did indeed suffer a psychological dependency on FarmVille et al. ]]></description>

The outspoken developer last month referred to the current state of gaming as "a bit dull"  going on to claim that 3D "didn't spark my interest" and motion control was "a bit old now." He recently told site The Setup that "I'm participating in a project to re-design an old park in Nottingham, UK," and referred to Namco Bandai as a "so-so company." Read more..]]></description>
