Shiny Founder Quits To Aid Sale

Gamasutra reports that Dave Perry, the founder of Shiny Entertainment, quit his role with the company to aid its sale from floundering Atari. From the article: "Shiny Entertainment was founded in 1993 by Dave Perry, and produced the hit Earthworm Jim series, as well as the financially successful Enter The Matrix. It is also noted for more esoteric titles such as MDK, Messiah and Sacrifice. The studio was sold to French publisher Infogrames by Interplay in 2002 for an estimated $47 million, before the company bought the rights to the Atari name and logo." Sacrifice was a unique and under-rated strategy title. It was flawed, to be sure, but the immediacy of summoning your troops in the field was a lot of fun.

I've found a really Hot video game accessory that I haven't seen anywhere else , It's called a GameSpinner. It keeps your games safe and where you can reach them quick and easy. It's like having spinning rims on your xbox or ps2! Check out this site, www.gamespinnerz.com, they have console skins, gaming t-shirts, video games and accessories too!
