The creators of the Live Arcade hit Geometry Wars is no more.
It is becoming a tale that we're hearing all too often in this economic situation, and something we never want to hear: a development studio closing its doors for good.

Bizarre Creations nearly hit the mark in this original Bond tale.
Bizarre Creations, creative minds behind the Project Gotham series, Blur, and The Club, have put together their talents to create the latest video game based on James Bond. A combination of third person shooting and intense car chase sequences, James Bond 007: Blood Stone is a wholly original story involving the international spy from MI6. The game is undoubtedly in the upper-echelon of Bond experiences, but its quality is all over the board, ranging from spectacular to yawn-inducing.
If Project Gotham Racing and Mario Kart had a baby, you'd get Blur.
Bizarre Creations is a developer of many talents, responsible for a wide-variety of games all in different genres. While they have done quite a bit, they seem to have stuck with the racing genre longer than any other, mostly through their Project Gotham Racing Series. Now that they have been freed from further development of those titles since acquisition by Activision Blizzard, they have had the opportunity to create something in that vein, but fresh and new at the same time. Blur is the result of those efforts, and it is something that will undoubtedly be compelling for fans of arcade-style racing games.
