Two heart-stopping bits of news today. In a further consolidation of game stores, Gamestop (which absorbed Software Etc a few years back) is now swallowing up Electronics Boutique. This will greatly limit game buyers' choices in most cities, with competition mostly coming from electronics, toy and department stores... Gamers will miss out on the next chapter in the Oddworld Inhabitants realm. Despite a compelling track record, founder Lorne Lanning is hanging up his gaming spurs and moving his company into TV and movies. Might there be a Pixar-quality film set in the Oddworld universe on the horizon? We can only hope...
