Petroglyph Games is a video game publisher and video game developer based in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. The company was formed by the last group of ex- Westwood Studios employees who resigned when Westwood Pacific was shut down by Electronic Arts in 2003, effectively assimilating Westwood Studios into the EA Pacific studios in Los Angeles to form EA Los Angeles.
Petroglyph company's founding members worked on Command & Conquer, Earth & Beyond and Dune II.
Alamo Game Engine is a game engine developed by Petroglyph, used to create Star Wars: Empire at War and its expansion Forces of Corruption. A modified version of the Alamo Game Engine was used for Petroglyph's third title, Universe at War: Earth Assault. The Alamo Game Engine features 3D gameplay and a real time strategic view of a map on which the game takes place.
