Where have you been living? Even if you don't follow the Kain series you have to know about the butchering that happened to the last Tomb Raider game and the fact that Eidos(Parent company of both) took TR from Core and gave it to Crystal Dynamics.

Just when LoK had just wrapped up it's best story arc to date and the whole thing could be taken in an even more interesting new direction, she walks away from it *sigh* :(

Hope CD continues to do the series justice even without her.

What sucks the most is this April Fool's Day joke.

Boo-urns.

Oh well, from I what I gather, she's given all her design plans and what have you to the current team and they will continue on with her story. I just hope the next game doesn't end up becoming another Blood Omen 2 fiasco.

I recently learned that Hirokazu Yasuhara (Carol Yas), the director of of the first few Sonic games and arguably the creator of the series, joined Naughty Dog and worked on Jak II. Kinda surprised to find that out.

I personally think that Blood Omen 1 is one of the weakest efforts in the series. I never really cared that SK was not doing the series anymore because, although the story was a great beginning, the game sucked IMO.

But last time we lost Henning on a game the results weren't pretty, and when she helped the next effort it was far and away the best yet. When SK disappeared the series has only gotten better so it's not exactly like anyone missed them.

Unfortunately, it never got better than the original. Not even close.

Who?
