Indeed it is. David Jaffe does a lot of video conferencing from California, and also flies into SLC to work on the game. Incognito was also in Salt Lake. One of their PS2 games, Downhill Domination, featured a couple of Utah locations as playable levels.

There's quite a bit. Since they are so fluid and the genre is so broad nowadays I think people would struggle finding an actual number. I'd say there's probably around 10-15 offices in the valley making games for popular consoles or PC. Avalanche, Eat Sleep Play and EA Salt Lake are the biggest offices here. EA Salt Lake makes all of the Tiger Woods golf games, from what I've heard. Avalanche just did a ton of work for Just Cause 2.

Disney Interactive has an office here as well. I know a few people who are testers at EA's office and as far as I know all they've ever tested is the Hasbro brand games.
Indie Built, the guys that made the Amped snowboarding games, were located here before the shut down. Snowbird was a playable resort in Amped 3.
Acclaim had some offices here back in the day. I believe that's where most of the NFL Quarterback Club games were made.
Man, I should really try to get a job at one of those joints, come to think of it...

Wow, um, yeah, props on the trailer. Simple but well-executed concept, and a slightly bizarre but effective musical counterpoint. I think I agree... it may indeed be one of the best gaming trailers ever. Usually the good trailers are reserved for movies...
That said, zombie games usually don't interest me that much (with the notable exception of Resident Evil 4).

Ran across this again while doing some random surfing:

It's Gamespot's worst-reviewed game ever -- Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. They gave it a 1/10. The review is hilarious, I highly recommend it.

I decided why I don't like L.A. Noire. It makes you feel like you actually have to work.

It really just got boring to me. I probably played 90% through the game and other games were coming out soon so I just sent it back to gamefly.

That looks A LOT better than SWFU2. George Lucas should have been publicly flogged for putting that piece of #### out.

I've only made it through like 15% of the game. Big let down for me considering how much I liked Red Dead Redemption.

The proper vernacular around these parts would be Geek, nerds don't play games or at least post about playing them.
