![]() They really like human faces, because you can read so much about what’s going on with a person, and so I think that’s why women like these games. Thompson: At least with the Mystery Case Files, there’s certain scientific research that shows how women like to look at faces. Why do you think Big Fish Games is attracting a wide female demographic? THR: Over half the gamers today are female. It’s a way of spending time that you don’t have to get totally involved in, and you can come back to. I play Scrabble with the sound mixer and the boom operator here while we’re working. It’s hard to keep people off all their little games. Thompson: Casual games are a great way to spend time when you get bored. THR: Why do you think we’ve seen such an explosion of casual games on everything from PC, to tablets, to smart phones today? I did some mysteries for the Hallmark channel – Jane Doe mysteries – and people really watch them over and over again, and they just love that. Thompson: Absolutely! (laughs) People love mysteries. Do you think Mystery Case Files would make a good movie, or maybe a TV show? THR: We’re seeing a lot of video games being turned into Hollywood movies nowadays. I love seeing how they incorporate the real acting in the games, and the puzzle solving. Thompson: I like that they have real actors in them, and that’s fun for me. THR: What do you like about the Mystery Case Files franchise? I go to a lot of science fiction and monster conventions and things like that, and different groups that really have a passion for these kinds of games. And also my fan base is into games – you know from Howard the Duck. Thompson: Yeah, and also through my nephews who are really big gamers. THR: Have you been able to keep up with the latest video game technology through your daughters over the years? So it’s really fun to watch them in action, and she had a really fun character. I have two daughters that are actresses - and so I’m kind of their coach. Unfortunately, I didn’t really get to act with her, but it was really fun to watch her act. THR: What was it like working with your daughter in this new game? Like a new age psychic with crystals, and incense, and trances, so I didn’t have to do a lot of research. I grew up in the ‘70s in Minnesota and my mother was like the same kind of character. THR: Did you do any research on mediums for this role? I’m always really excited to try something new in my profession that I haven’t done yet. They thought I was perfect to play the “psychic” – a new age psychic. Thompson: I don’t know, they just asked me to do it for some unknown reason. THR: How did you get involved with Big Fish Games’ Mystery Case Files: Shadow Lake? I play a lot of Scrabble with my brother online. Thompson: You know what? I’m just so darn busy, I don’t. ![]() A lot of movies now look like video games to me, the line is really close. I don’t have a son, but I have nephews who play the really developed games. THR: What are your thoughts on how far games have come since those arcade days? Q&A: Rovio Entertainment Exec Andrew Stalbow: ‘Angry Birds Star Wars’ Is ‘Going to Be Huge’ There was something really visceral about standing up and playing those games, y’know? I just remember having a lot of fun doing that, but losing a lot of money (laughs). Pac-Man, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, all those things. Thompson: You know, I just did a movie that was set in the ‘80s, and they had all the different games: Ms. THR: Do you have a favorite memory from playing Pac-Man back in the day? They still play The Sims, and they like that, but now of course they like Mystery Case Files (laughs).
