Bizarre Creations shuts shop Friday

[Chaos Raiden]

It didn’t end well for Bizarre Creations. The Blur and Project Gotham developer will officially close its doors on February 18.

Bizarre, which was founded in 1994 (or 1988, if you want to get technical), employed over 200 staff, and made around twenty games during its 15 years in operation.

The company became known after developing 1996′s PlayStation and PC hit, Formula 1. Its more recent developments include the Geometry Wars franchise and 2008′s The Club.

Thanks, Develop.

Another UK game developer bites the dust, partially thanks to government cut backs and broken promises over tax breaks. Shame...
