As some of you may already know New York University has recently begun organizing a new department that focuses on game design and development called the Game Center. To kick things off NYU has been hosting a series of lectures by game industry luminaries such as Ian Bogost and Jonathan Blow, hosted by friend and founder of Game Design Advance, Frank Lantz. <\/p>\n

So far the talks have been very interesting, with a good back-and-forth between the speakers, Frank, and the audience. The talks are open to the public and there are a few heavy-hitters coming up that would be a shame to miss:<\/p>\n
