Earlier this year I was invited to the EA offices in Guildford to discuss the possibility of working on a game called Spare Parts, being created under their Bright Light division. It was such a pleasure to get the job and write the dialogue for such a fun game, but what I didn’t realise at the time was that the game would be voiced by the brilliant Simon Pegg, who can be seen talking about it in this video.
It’s always exciting and slightly tense working with a new client, but when I learned that he’d been signed up to do the voice this stepped up to a whole new level. I’ve been a fan of Simon’s since I first saw Spaced and thoroughly loved his take on Scotty in the last Star Trek film. I never got the opportunity to meet him, which would have been great, but I hope that I managed to write the lines to do his talent the justice it deserves.
I hope that you’ll all buy and enjoy the game.
