Free Radical Shuts Down
The developers of Time Splitters and Haze, Free Radical, have reported shut down permanently. Apparently all the employees came to work to find themselves locked out of the building, which is a pretty dick way to shut down a company. I mean seriously, is that necessary?

Resident Evil – It came from Kijuju
Just received an email from Capcom, I assume regarding Resident Evil 5. All the email said was “It came from Kijuju” (a city on the west coast of South Africa, and the setting for Resident Evil 5) repeated about about a million times and a link to this that doesn’t show anything more. The email…
