Games firm 110 Industries has scored a big name as Trip Hawkins (pictured) joins as an advisor to its board.

Hawkins is best known as the founder of Electronic Arts, as well as 3DO and Digital Chocolate, and is an industry vet with a wealth of experience. He also previously worked at Apple.

“110 Industries is a really ambitious company with a compelling vision and an exciting slate of upcoming titles, so this is a project that I’m really excited to be involved in,” Hawkins said.

“I believe they have the potential to make a big impact on the industry and I’m looking forward to doing everything I can to assist the company in delivering on that”.

110 Industries' founder and creative director Sergei Kolobashkin added: “I couldn’t be more excited to have Trip join us as an advisor. From Apple, to EA and beyond, Trip is the rare kind of executive that has been both founder and boots on the ground. In building our brand and corporate culture, we want to learn from the best, and Trip fits the bill perfectly.”
