In this BAFTA Guru video, Braben is interviewed by Phil Elliott, Managing Editor of GamesIndustry.biz. He reflects on a career that includes founding the independent Cambridge developer Frontier, whose releases include the LostWinds (the launch title for Nintendo's WiiWare digital download service), the BAFTA-nominated Dog's Life and Wallace & Gromit In Project Zoo.
