SLEDGEHAMMER GAMES TURNS 3!
07/23/2012
Sledgehammer Games celebrates our third birthday! From our humble beginning in 2009, to the incredible journey developing 2011's Action Game of the Year with Call of Duty MW3, we thank our supporters and fans for three amazing years as a studio. There’s definitely no better way to celebrate the amazing time we’ve had so far than spending a day as a team riding rollercoasters and enjoying the beautiful California weather. Check out the photos below for a little taste of the action.

Sledgehammer Games & Gamestop Present: PowerUp Rewards - Modern Warfare 3 Epic Reward Combat Experience
07/18/2012
For the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 we paired up with GameStop to give away the ultimate Epic Rewards Combat Experience. The winners flew out to San Francisco for a tour of Sledgehammer Games, and then on to Minnesota for a day of tank driving and combat simulation! The winners, along with Michael Condrey and Josh Katz from Sledgehammer Games, were given time to understand military vehicle history, tour of the storage and restoration facilities, and driving time in an FV433 Abbot and FV432 APC. The day culminated in pancaking cars in a 120,000 lbs. Chieftain Battle Tank, and live-ammo time with three historical machines gun in the indoor range! Congrats to the lucky winners, George and Massi of Houston, Texas, who forever get to brag about their awesome time with the MW3 developers at the studio and the tank driving experience. Check out the pictures below for all the metal twisting carnage.
VICTORY!!!

Sledgehammer Games recently partnered with the Level Playing Field Institute (LPFI) and hosted its first-ever in-house mentor session. Fourteen high-potential students from LPFI's local SMASH Academy (or Summer Math and Science Honors) got a special look behind the scenes of game development, as SHG had six members of their team representing Game/Level Design, Art, Character/Animation, and Engineering. Each presenter gave a brief overview of what they do, how they got into gaming, information about their educational background and how to prepare for a career in gaming.
