It's kind of old, but it's sad to see Rare getting worse and worse each time.

Rare? Rare has been dead to me and replaced by Free Radical every since I played Timesplitters 2.

Damn shame that Rare turned into crap. They were so good before.

Such a good call - glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks that way.

Has rare even done any new games except perfect dark zero? I mean I hear everyone screaming that they suck now but, I cant seem to think of anything they've done but perfect dark zero. Plus the new banjo kazuii(sp?) looks like it will be fun.

They did Viva Pinata for the 360, but that's all I can remember.

Grabbed by the Ghoulies, or something like that, Conker Reloaded.. For Xbox, they also did Kameo for X360.

The fact that no one remembers their games after the N64 is proof that they are dead.

Rare? Rare has been dead to me and replaced by Free Radical every since I played Timesplitters 2.
