It appears that Peter Jackson isn't the only big-time film director seriously interested in creating games, with GameDaily revealing today that regularly attends in order to work on the games he's playing a role in the of.

EA's Neil Young revealed to the website that Spielberg spends between one and four hours a week at the company. "Steven's in the studio about once a week, anywhere from 1 to 4 hours; he swings by and he's in the office by about 8:30 and usually leaves like 11:00 or midday," Young revealed.

"It's everything you'd hoped the relationship would be but were nervous to ask upfront. It's really wonderful spending time with him... he's incredibly creative and just has such a great sense of what entertains people."

The legendary Schindler's List director is committed to crafting three games alongside EA, two of which are in the works at EA LA. One game is being created under the eye of veteran Doug Church, with a 'dramatic event' on planet Earth tapping into a popular theme of the director's films. Another project, being developed by Lou Castle, is said to be a game. No details are available on any of the games, sadly.

Young concluded that the game designers at EA have learnt much from working with Spielberg, and that the Hollywood giant seems enthused by the prospect of creating interactive entertainment. More as we get it.
