Tis a shame to hear about developers shutting down. We blame you guys — why didn’t you buy their crappy games? Think about someone else for a change.

News Blips:


Grin no longer :D, now more like :'(. Bionic Commando developer Grin is officially closing. But, hey, at least some of the former workers have already started Outbreak Studios. We have some helpful advice, too: Don’t make bad games. [GameSpot]

Bayonetta was delayed to avoid games that people may want to buy. Makes sense. Err, if all the games people want to buy weren’t also delayed. Oops! [Kotaku]

Prison Break game happening; likely to feature prisons, breaking. Publisher Deep Silver picked up the game from now-defunct publisher Brash. We can’t wait to fight the final boss: a door. [Shacknews]

Who would have thunk it: Beatles: Rock Band getting two full Beatles albums for DLC. Both Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band will be available as DLC for The Beatles: Rock Band. Guess we can stop crossing our fingers for a Monkees album. [1UP]
