But I was always lead to believe that MS destroyed Rare by forcing them to make Kinect games against their will?

I wouldn't say there is any one reason they were "destroyed", but they're certainly a shadow of their former self.


I disagree.  Viva Pinata and Kameo last gen is some of their best titles.  Kinect Sports isnt what i want them to make but i will say without a doubt that I was happy with what Rare Ltd made last gen.....Well except for Nuts & Bolts.  I wouldve preferred a traditional BK, but it was good for what it was.

I'm talking in the present tense. Not saying they are bad, just that they are a shadow of how good they used to be. We are talking about the guys who made Perfect Dark, Golden Eye, Killer Instinct, DKC, Star Fox etc. Now the best game i can think of from them from the last gen was Viva Piñata, which came out back in 2006 and 2008. In the last 5+ years all they have made is a mediocre Banjo game and some lackluster Kinect games.

If that isn't a perfect example of a company that's become a shadow of it's former self, i don't know what is.
