6 videogame development studios that have shut down in the last year

The studios next game,APB, was widely expected to be even better.

The game that finally staggered onto the worlds stage last summer wasnt what many were expecting.

Luxoflux was one of the casualties of Activisions far-reaching staff cuts announced earlier this month.

Their first, a reboot of the FPS seriesTurok, was greeted with mixed reviews.

Movie tie-inTron: Evolutionproved to be Propagandas swan song.

While not perfect, its mixture of acrobatics, combat and shiny graphics were competently wrought.

Their fate sealed, Propaganda was shut down by its owner, Disney Interactive Studios.

The release ofJames Bond 007: Blood Stonewould be Bizarres last.

We now know that, as of Friday, 18 February, Bizarre will close its doors for good.

An unfortunate end for one of the UKs most talented studios.

This list provides only a tiny part of a much greater picture.

There is some good news to impart, however.
