Harsh, but Blur and that James Bond game did pretty much bomb.

True, but it's sad when a UK developer is shut down like that. Geometry Wars is still a great little game.

Blur was a fantastic game aswell, sadly being good doesn't mean it'll sell.

Yet another UK studio bites the dust. Would tax breaks actually have helped in these scenarios?

Doubtful. Surprised Acti didn't close them down as soon as Blur bombed.

Damn shame..I had alot more fun with Blur than I've had in a long time on a racing game.

I don't think Bizarre have been shut down just yet. Activision have, however, confirmed that they're looking at the future of the studio, which does include a potential sale.

Silver lining, perhaps. Maybe Microsoft'll take them back.

Well I'd imagine he's always wanted to finish the story off. Doesn't mean SEGA want to blow a load of money on a commercial failure just so he can do it.
