Hello gamers,I know that it’s been a while since I’ve had a post for my blog, but news has been very slow and there were some power problems at my house. However, I did find two pieces of information that I would like to share.
According to Kotaku.com, the three main leaders that designed the Metroid Prime trilogy have decided to leave Retro and begin their own company. Design director Mark Pacini, art director Todd Keller, and principal technology engineer Jack Mathews were said to have been “escorted off the premises last Friday”. It’s also been said that they have contract with Electronic Arts (EA Games). Don’t worry though; Retro Studios will not be closing (although no project has been announced). I would really enjoy another Metroid game from them (considering how well they did on the Prime trilogy). It seems that they decided to leave because they wanted to go beyond Metroid. It will be interesting to see what happens.
In some other news that I’ve seen, de Blob (a Wii game in which you control a blob to color
structures and other material) got an exceptionally well rating. IGN.com gave it 8.4 out of 10 and said that it’s “one of the most well put together, clean and smooth third-party Wii games to date.” The only reason I even know of this game is because about a year ago, M80 talked about letting me review it. I was expecting this game to get 3 out of 10 because I didn’t think the Wii would ever have another 3rd party game that didn’t suck. However, I’ve very glad to be wrong. I hope that in the future, more game designers will look at this game for guidance instead of throwing a game together in five seconds.Well, that's all for now,
HANG TIGHT GAMERS!!

WOWERS, im scared what will become of retro studios? and what will happen when the people that made the COOLEST GAME EVER go and make possibly the COOLEST COMAPNY EVER???
I'm not worried about Retro. They're too good of a company to fall apart now.
do you think that this break off company will be the coolest game maker ever? 'cuz these people, these people that founded it must be the coolest people. they took the 2d side scrolling format and made it into a small piece of god... its like they cut a hunk outa god and sold it on CDs... but sreiously, whatever they make, im buying it...
sgt smiles told me about that, i hope they branch out too, i think that metroid is the shizzle.
I hope they continue the Metroid series but will also make some other games. Retro is so original, that I'll probably buy all of their games lol.
