PAIN My first experience in game development. I played a major roll in developing this franchise from the ground up with the amazingly creative team at Idol Minds. The first level was released on November 29, 2007. It was one of the first Network titles to release for the PlayStation 3. PAIN.htmlhttp://www.idolminds.com/shapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1
