Great blog Boosey
One thing I am going to add though, 5 members of rare (
David Doak, Steve Ellis, Karl Hilton, Graeme Norgate and Lee Ray) branched off and created Free Radical Design - the producers of the timesplitters games.
This was a brilliant move for them because the timesplitter series was a huge success on both GC and PS2.
Also many others are eagerly awaiting news about the 4th game in the series
Anyway again great blog, as I have said Nintendos biggest folley was losing Rare and vice versa
