Hmm... Maybe if I drive over to their offices and pound on the door, they'll give me a beta of Red Star or something...

the door will probably fall over. The hinges were repossessed.
Acclaim filed for bankruptcy on Friday, according to IGN.
Games such as Juiced, The Red Star, and Worms 3D, which were slated for early September release, will not be published by Acclaim, IGN learned today. "Those games might be published by some other publisher, but not by Acclaim," the former employee said. "The code for those two games is done. So, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the executives weren't in negotiations to sell off those games to other publishers. But I don't know for sure."

I hope that Juiced doesn't end up like RAH.
That game better be released by somebody. Isn't it already out in Europe?Quote:

Am I the only one that sees the irony of this?
Figures that they'd go out of business while a few of the only worthwhile games they had their hands in are almost ready to ship. It's like one last gamer screw-over, for old times' sake.
Not me, I'm callous all the way.Quote:
