Joe and the Team are going full out on The Hobbit Trilogy. Joe says "This design is going together better than any layout I have ever done. It will include several different elements than my other games. It is a more expansive flowing game with fast shots and multiple ramps. The main mechanism is Smaug which will be very interactive. The game includes subways and a mountain-scape. Aside from WOZ Joe has designed some of the best loved highest earning games including our own TheWizard of Oz, The Simpson's Pinball Party and South Park. Joe continued; "We are all having a lot of unexpected fun creating this game"

Intressant/sorgligt också vad Gary Stern säger om olicenserade spel:

He says his people are begging him to create non-licensed themes and he simply says "no." According to him, if he mentions a non-licensed game to a European distributor they will say "send me 1 or 2 to try out" but if he mentions "Avatar" they immediately say "I'll take two containers full." He says it is just too risky for Stern to do a non-licensed game.
