Rumors: Silocon Knights Up For Sale (Wha?!), Tim Schafer unhappy with Activision merger and looks to shop Brutal Legend around, and a snippet saying Rush's Moving Pictures is next Rock Band DLC album after The Pixies' Doolittle. Not many rumors this issue unless it's in another segment or something.

If Silicon Knights get's sold a great developer is free for exclusivity, this could get interesting.

Also I'm interesting to see where/if Tim Schafer ends up somewhere else. That talented man should be somewehere he can do whatever he wants. Take-Two could expand themselves with him on board.

HarlockJC

Too Human has too huge of a budget for Microsoft to meet considering Silicon Knights hasn't really done anything so far this generation?

Yeah, because every poster knows every thread that has ever been posted. Was there are thread about it on the first or second page? No

Then give it a rest.

It's cool that Civ Rev seems to have turned out well. Putting Civilization on consoles is a pretty daunting task, but it looks like they did it pretty effectively, even if many of the Civ4 features had to be taken out or simplified.

Some RTS devs could learn from this.

I played the demo and found it to be great, probably going to get it on the 360, and of course to get my Civ fix anywhere on the DS, putting Civ on a handheld seems like a very evil thing to do for Sid Meier to do.

Secret Agent Clank - 8.5, 8.5

Wow I am surprise about B: BC score. Shame that We Love Golf didn't score well, but I glad Secret Agent Clank did well.

Lol. Its actually suited for handhelds, as you can play it one turn at a time. Many devs forget that portable software should be played in short bursts.

It wil probably just be classified as a dumbed down Civ for consoles by all the hermits.
