Seems very US centric for a supposedly International Group.

University of Salford, Liverpool John Moores University are in the UK, and Future University-Hakodate is in Japan

And "King of The Jungle" are the UK studio of the Swedish developer, "Unique Development Studios".

Cheers,
John

Given my general tendency to give crap to anything American, I thought I should post in answer to the AP above to indicate that for once I find it quite normal that the Americans dominate the field and quite appropriate given the quality of the material they provide for the rest of us peons.
The day we get something as good as Carnegie Mellon or MIT, I''ll be the first to return to my habit of American bashing, but until then, they have my total respect.
(But gee, I''d love to have someone that knows anything about AI in my school... it''s damn hard to do a Masters without anyone to give you an informed opinion :/ )

Sancte Isidore ora pro nobis !
