to their credit: They were talking about " kinect-enhancements" and that you would still play the game with a controller.....with that said:

I wish they would just let the IPs rest forever, Nuts and Bolts was a pretty good game, but a terrible B&K....and I´m not sure if they still have the talent to make good games in those franchises after the huge restructuring/castration after N&B bombed....

My opinion is The Simpson's sucked after Season 7 when Conan O'Brien left the writing staff (I didn't know the latter until later), but the show is on it's 23rd/24th? season and some poeple claim it's still an awesome show.

If you bring writers and artists into the fold that have the same creative inspiration as the people that worked on the original games, then you have success. 

Kameo was a good game with a great story.  I personally really liked it and I'm not a Rare fan.  Granted that was before Nuts & Bolts, but I think they're still a capable group of people. 

As for the restructuring, it wasn't a castration.  Only a small number of positions were eliminated.  19 in fact.  In the art department.  Because they became contractors instead of full-time employees.  23 Rare employees were promoted to managing art directors for other teams within Microsoft. 

OFFTOPIC: Conan was only on the show during season 3, and only wrote 4 episodes. But yes, after season 7 the show went downhill.
