Powerful Robot Games is a game development studio based in Montevideo, Uruguay. It was founded in 2002 by game researcher Gonzalo Frasca and Sofía Battegazzore.
The studio recently developed Big Fat Awesome House Party, a webgame for Cartoon Network that generated over 13 million accounts on its first year.
Powerful Robot pioneered the field of campaign games by developing in 2003, along with Persuasive Games, the first videogame ever commissioned for a U.S. Presidential campaign. Its team was also behind "Cambiemos" (2004), a game for the Uruguayan Presidential Campaign..
Famous quotes containing the words powerful, robot and/or games:
“...A shadow now occasionally crossed my simple, sanguine, and life enjoying mind, a notion that I was never really going to accomplish those powerful literary works which would blow a noble trumpet to social generosity and noblesse oblige before the world. What? should I find myself always planning and never achieving ... a richly complicated and yet firmly unified novel?”
—Sarah N. Cleghorn (1876–1959)
“The person who designed a robot that could act and think as well as your four-year-old would deserve a Nobel Prize. But there is no public recognition for bringing up several truly human beings.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
