It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
for a studio which it's best game looks and plays like a ds game Sony are a bunch of idiots and so are everyone who bought a pos3 with a Trojan blu ray player with faulty hardware
$32 mill for a studio that by my opinion have made the best next gen car game so far (and one of the best selling).
Not bad at all. Compare it with MS who paid $50 mill for extra content on one single game (not that there is anything wrong with that). I would rather buy a studio and make a ton of games.
Congrates. You've earnt that one bubble wanker. How can you say faulty hardware and and keep a straight face? Even other Xbots must be saying Ixnay on the faulty ardware hay. Sorry my pig latins rusty.
As for the article, what an absolute bargain. If I'd know there were selling so cheap I would have bought them myself.
Microsoft gives 300£ for crappy RARE and Sony buys two studios for 16£ LOL Way to go Sony!
For the Motorstorm developer, which made the most fun racing game I've played since Mario Kart 64. Great graphics too.
I would have expected more, but oh well. Good for Sony. What else has evolution studios made anyway?
