We appear to be seeing a fairly large fallout from Ensemble Studios as a result of their being shut down by Microsoft. Thus far, ex employees have formed Robot Entertainment and Bonfire Studios, which the latest addition being Windstorm Studios. While you might think that the former developers of the Age of Empires and Age of Mythology series might focus on RTS games, my bet is that their will be more “groundbreaking MMO’s” I’m not sure how many times we can break ground on a new massively multiplayer game, but apparently there are some unbroken areas somewhere. Seeing as almost all of these games wont last 2 years, I think they should change there announcement format:
“Breakwind Studios will soon announce an online game unlike anything you've ever seen, built on a questionable foundation of broken ground”
And now we have accuracy.
On a side note, taken via bigdownloads:
World of Warcraft has slowly but surely entered into the mainstream of entertainment and very soon the MMO title from Blizzard will be getting an unusual marketing gimmick; World of Warcraft-based flavors for Mountain Dew.
The game's official web site has posted up word that beginning later this summer, people will be able to purchase either Alliance Blue (wild fruit flavor) or Horde Red (citrus cherry flavor) in stores for a limited time only. This isn't the first time the soft drink company has released a game-related version. It teamed up with Microsoft to release a Halo 3-version of Mountain Dew in 2007.
