I only ever played a handful of their games (Formula One, Metropolis Street Racing, Geometry Wars and Blur; if I had an Xbox I'd have been all over the Project Gotham Racing series), but it's always sad to see an obviously talented studio bite the dust, particularly one that has its roots in the 16-bit industry.<br /><br />Some ten years later I'm still lamenting the loss of Looking Glass Studios. At the time it boggled my mind that Eidos no longer had a place for the creators of System Shock and Thief. In retrospect, while those games were a critical success, they weren't necessarily a commercial success, so under those circumstances it makes sense. Thankfully most Looking Glass employees ended up with the likes of Irrational, Ion Storm and Eidos Montreal and have been responsible for some awesome games, such as BioShock and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, so I guess all's well that ends well.Retrobliquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119759056291382215noreply@blogger.com
