I don't know, but they sure are trying. They saw an opening in the wii market and are going for it full steam. Good luck to them.

I found that the industry lacked imagination when they shunned the wii in the beginning, wel actually even now. Sure it's just a business but a creative business. HVs is showing some refreshing energy.

Savior - HVS to me has proven themselves already. They did Hunters: The Reckoning, well at least the GameCube version, and I dig the game a lot. They made one of the few 4-player hack n slash type games that I still fire up with some friends.

Rare has been averaging above 80 on the Xbox 360.  That's not stellar, but they certainly don't deserve the bad rep they get.

*looks at game collection*

yeah, because you have played them all. i remember another article about this with insomniac. if rare wasn't so good than people still wouldn't be comparing stuff to them.

they have the chance, but i really don't think they will.

If by "Rare" you the Rare prior to Nitnendo selling them and the mass exodus of actual talent, then I have to say no.

Actually they've made 20+ games.  Mostly shovelware.

too early too tell, if they can make titles like rare used to for nintendo and titles like rare makes now for m$, then thats a very good thing for nintendo indeed.

shovelware made them cash to make real games like the conduit and gladiator.
They make a lot of licensed games for $.

It would be cool for it to happen, but only time will tell once their big titles are released.

P.S. You forgot Donkey Kong 64! ;)

they have a long way to go to obtian that status
