LMNO

Also mentioned in the Rohrer article is an upcoming game directed by Steven Spielgberg.  'LMNO' is described as E.T meets North By North West.  The game has been championed as the first major videogame in which gameplay focuses on a relationship, namely "a touching and ever-changing relationship between you and a mysterious female character who holds the key to many futures."

According to EA: "LMNO is in development at EALA under the creative leadership of Doug Church (Creative Director) and Lou Castle (Executive Producer)," the publisher stated. No concrete timeframe has been provided for the release of LMNO.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that Rohrer is acting as Spielberg's consultant throughout the game's development.  While I'm not fond of Spielberg's films, I have a good deal of faith that this project will be interesting and well executed.  I think the fact that he began his foray into the medium with Boom Blox, a physics based game likened to Jenga, shows that he's taking steps to understand it at it's most fundamental levels.
