Acclaim headed for bankruptcy?
Acclaim used to make some pretty decent games back in the day. Arch Rivals freaking ruled old school, NBA Jam was one of the most entertaining games of my youth, and the Turok series was very well received. But now they make Mary-Kate and Ashley games, the craptastic All-Star Baseball series, and the Turok franchise has gone down the toilet. So it's little surprise that they've been losing more and more money and are headed towards bankruptcy if circumstances don't improve. It's time to give up and close up shop. I mean seriously, look at these titles they've got coming out this year:
Besides the just-released Showdown: Legends of Wrestling, the titles Acclaim plans on shipping in the year are: 100 Bullets (Fall 2004 - PS2, Xbox), Juiced (Fall 2004 - PS2, Xbox, PC), The Red Star (Fall 2004 - PS2, Xbox), Worms Forts: Under Siege! (Fall 2004 - PS2, Xbox, PC), ATV Quad Power Racing 3 (Winter 2005 - PS2, Xbox), Emergency Mayhem (Winter 2005 - PS2, Xbox), and The Last Job (Winter 2005 - PS2, Xbox). Acclaim is also publishing the remake of The Bard's Tale internationally.
