Other Samples From Games I've Contributed To

LEGO MARVEL SUPER HEROES
A few things I did for my biggest project of 2013 (and one of the best-selling Marvel and LEGO games ever): 
  • Ensured that many key locations appeared in the open world
  • Suggested quite a few of the nearly 150 characters in the game
  • Wrote some dialogue
  • Helped voice direct some of the premier voice actors in the business
  • Perhaps most importantly -- ensured Howard the Duck had his own level
X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE
One of the first games to feature my influence, this one added elements such as these inclusions: 
  • Representative Robert Kelly (this being a prequel, he hadn't worked his way up to Senator Kelly status yet)
  • Bolivar Trask (the X-Men: The Last Stand version, pictured)
  • My personal favorite: the insinuation that John Wraith fathered Mystique's child, Nightcrawler (fans will get why that makes so much sense)

STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT II
Even though I was part of the PR department, production sought my help in rewriting the last line/paragraph of the opening crawl to what would become the best-selling Star Wars game of all time (at least until a couple of other games I'd help promote came along).

X-MEN: BATTLE OF THE ATOM
I conceptualized the premise behind the game -- including the tutorial, which adapts the popular "Schism" storyline from the comics -- and helped shape it into the decidedly above-average iOS card-battle game it has turned out to be.

LITTLEBIGPLANET, MINECRAFT (XBOX VERSIONS), AND XBOX AVATAR ITEMS
I managed approvals for all of these "skins" projects and selected much of the content myself -- including Minecraft's second and third character skin packs, Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy, respectively.
