    Shame on Activision/Blizzard for dumping the possibility of a new World in Conflict game... I thought that sold well? I know that everyone I talked to who played it thought it was ace. Oh well. I guess publishers just don't seem to want to know about good or original PC games any more. :( GraphicsWhoreGenericShooter987654321 they're quite happy to make, however... provided they can release it on just about every platform ever made.

    And Ubisoft bought them? Urgh... I'll make a note not to buy WiC2, then, if Far Cry 2 was anything to go by... fun for about two hours, after that unbelievably repetitive.

    Bad/Good. Massive Ent are one of the few devs who take care about their games. They havent released a duff one yet. LEts hope Ubi give em the space to get on with it.

    And where the hells my WiC expansion.

    Probably being raped and pillaged by the Activision merger, hopefully set free by this buyout :)
