farewell Free Radical

This whole economy crisis bullshit, is all due to the oil companies going a step too far with their manipulation of oil prices. And as much as i enjoy the fact that there are no more stupid loan or credit card adverts on British TV, there are also some downsides.

I learnt today that a game company called Free Radical, that gave us Timesplitters and Haze amongst other games, seems to have shut down :(

As a gamer, i was actually glad to see that since people arent going out as much to spend on booze, more money was spent on video games, which is great for the industry! But the smaller companies are still suffering, and its these independant companies that give a breath of fresh air to the games market (just before EA or Activision buy them out anyway).

Well, long live the memories of Timesplitters on the ps2, and good luck to all employees.
