The official site for the 2008 Game Developers Conference has revealed that Steven Spielberg's first collaboration with EA Los Angeles with be the focus of a GDC session, revealing the creative process that turned a simple puzzle concept into a full-on Nintendo Wii title. The announcement also reveals the official name of Spielberg's Wii game: BOOM BLOX (that's right, with the caps-lock and everything).

The game will be discussed during "Creating Spielberg's BOOM BLOX", a session led by EALA's VP of Creative Development, Louis Castle. Sadly, it doesn't seem like Spielberg himself will be on-hand to discuss the physics-based puzzle game.

This game looks interessting, If there is everything they promised, I would gladly buy it.

This seems more fit as a downloadable title than a retail buy really. It does look fun, but too simplistic for 50, 40, or even 30 dollar game. What it did remind me of though was The Incredible Machine. That could sure use a new installment. This game just seems so odd coming from Speilberg though, I'd expect something more... Epic? Looks like a good time waster I suppose.

Wait...Spielberg made this? I thought we'd get like...a Saving Private Ryan video game or something.

See Call of Duty. Anyway, it just isn't very "Speilberg epic", this game...
