Fallout Tactics
Bioshock
KKnD
Medieval II Total War

There's four big ones I can think of off the top of my head that Australians had a big part in making.

Funny, a while back I wrote about this sort of issue for my TAFE magazine and now these guys come out and say this. I put the article on my blog aswell for those who may be interested

As already suggested, KKND (And KKND2) was definitely done by a company in Melbourne.

Kenny, the singer from Karnivool (Aussie band) sung in a promo clip for some hip hop guy called Phrase to promote halo... Not that it's super related but that's probably the only other remotely related thing I could think of in terms of Australian interaction with game development.

Other than that, i've got no idea.

Australian developers ARE largely credited. I see them on game boxes, I see them in games. I see them in game credits. I don't know what this guy is on about.

So what if we don't have any celebrity status designers and the such? It's not going to make the game any better.

Heck, BioShock had a Australian feature in it's storyline.

They needed to make a GOOD AFL game...

Also, I found the Aussie accent in Bioshock really grating, even though it was completely natural.

The Ty the Tasmanian Tiger games would seem to qualify…

The AFL games obviously, but I'm not entirely sure they sell internationally.

From recollection, I believe Krush Kill and Destroy was based in Australia. And who can forget the Australian voice acting in Halo!

Personally I'd like to see the ANZAC stories told through the medium of Call of Duty. Imagine doing the last charge of the light horsemen.

I think I can count the number of Aussie themed games on my hand...

*makes fist*

Zero!
