Well, I never though that it would happen so soon, but for many gamers, it was a delight, Acclaim finally declared Bankruptcy.

This is pretty bad news, but I already hear most gamers shouting "OMG IT'S ABOUT TIME" or "Good Riddance", which I think is really bad to say about the company. Yes, I know of how the fact that most of their games sucked....badly, but what of the games that they published which were good? I'd say they're masterpieces. Incase you're not sure of what I mean, Acclaim published MK2, NBA Jam, WWF Attitude, the Turok games, and my personal fave, Burnout 2.

For now, lets go back 10 years ago. Back then, you could consider Acclaim the equivelent of EA today (all divisions) although not having as much success as them. They made games for a lot of licenses, and the majoirity of them were really bad. The most significant license they held (in my opinion) was The Simpsons. Although I can say only one game of them is better than the Konami game (said to be the best ever, only Hit and Run is THAT good) the majority were some what ok.

I read a little while ago a article saying that Acclaim were in trouble, and that their game Juiced would probably save them. I think it was Showdown: Legends of Wrestling that sealed the companies fate. Although the game had a good amount of wrestlers, it had almost nothing to do, no unlockables or anything special within the game. And now that Acclaim are gone, most of their line up for the rest of the year is gone too, and the line up seemed pretty interesting as well..

Heres to you Acclaim, the first and last salute that I shall ever give you! May you rest in piece..
