Radical Entertainment broken apart by Activision
Everything will one day come to an end, but it is quite sobering when a studio with an over 20 year legacy is finished. Radical Entertainment has been making video games since 1991 and with such classics as Mario is Missing!, Tetris Worlds, Mario’s Time Machine, The Simpsons: Hit & Run, Scarface, The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, The Prototype franchise, and over 30 other games; it is a shame that they will be reduced to a handful of employees left making Call of Duty maps.
So why are they closing? Here is Activision’s official position.
While Prototype wasn’t my favorite franchise of this generation, I never felt like they were bad games. I mean, how often do you have the opportunity to destroy a helicopter with a flying sidekick? And if you are a PC owner who was hoping to get some Prototype 2 action of your own, find solace in the fact that that version will still be released. Best of luck to all those displaced by the “significant reduction in staff.”

Very upsetting to hear this, I had so much respect for Radical Entertainment based on the games they produced and the amount of passion they put into their work. I will remember this Activision.

Of course, you can just leave the banner image as a game that wasn't developed by the company you're discussing. Totally legitimate way to do things...

ah well, nothing stings more than knowing a franchise died due to some corporate bullshit; I hope Call of duty dies soon, so people can start getting some worthwhile games rather than another rehashed FPS with over priced map packs

Apparently, Radical only made the NES versions of Mario's Time Machine and Mario Is Missing, so the banner using a screenshot from the SNES version of Mario Is Missing is somewhat misleading.
Sad news, though. I have fond memories of The Simpsons: Hit & Run.
