EA just became a little bit more powerful? lol

Definitely some of the worst news in a while. I can't say I was a huge fan of Demon Stone, as it felt like a very blatant rip-off of Two Towers, but it happened to be one of the strongest story-based games to come out in a LONG time. Sadly, the company got tapped based on their fame from Two Towers and not their earlier work, and in turn, they had to eat making crappers like Eragon and Spiderwick Chronicles.

to bad i thought they made the best Hack 'n slash games out there

Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor , Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone , Two towers . Wow , sad . Very sad . Losing a job is never easy , even if your hideo kojima and you lose your job and you know that a second after that news breaks out your cell phones going to ring with a new job , it still has an emotional impact . Im sorry for the studio and the people who worked there . I hope they find a job very soon .

Well that means, there games must suk big time

It makes you wonder how it happens....do they know its coming? Or do they just show up one day to see the locks have been changed. Never would I ever want to work in the gaming industry. One min your on top of the world, the next your out of business.

Give it a month and all the good people from SF will have started a new place fast with some VC money.

I remember Stronghold from the early 90's what an awesome city-building game.

"I was hoping this was about the white supremacist website shutting down. No such luck."

That's what I thought. I don't know why you got all those negatives though. It's sad when people support that crap.

Very sad to see this happen .

That is sad to see

i did like a few movie games. SP2 and the two towers(GBA version). sad to see them go

Bummer, This is why no one should make a movie game. They are the kiss of death unfortunately there hasn't been a really good one yet. Good luck employees at stormfront I really hope you are able to get jobs right away someplace else you are a talented bunch of industry veterans. Sad to see this happen after so many years in business.

the company have gone bust but im sure the programmers and designers will easily find new companies and projects to do. they are the important part of the gaming world, not so much the company itself

U.S. Presidents have about as much to do with the economy as I have to do with making computer games....which is absolutely nothing.

Hey poopplayer, get a clue and take an economics class before you come here and get slagged by people who actually have completed a college course or two. And if you have and still find yourself making such idiotic comments, please don't make us suffer through your dribble. Bush had nothing to do with a game company that hasn't really done much to stay in the game, from closing. You are a dolt.

Who's the moron talking about Bush and the economy? He didn't buy a bunch of houses he couldn't afford or sign off on mortgages to people who can't pay them. For crying out loud read a frickin book and quit spouting the crap you see on the "news" channels.

On another note, sad to see a developer close. They had some fun games in the past, but nothing they made recently is sellling. I'm sure they will find jobs, though, since they are industry vets and the video game industry continues to thrive despite a slow economy.

That sucks. Blood wake and LOTR:The Two Towers were both fun games. I hope those that lostt their jobs can find new ones shortly. This isnt the best time not to have a job.

too bad. Always sad to see this happen

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know who these guys are or what's going on really, but I like to be dramatic from time to time.

damn ....

Sad to see em' go.

Oh man I thought at first they talking about that nazi website.
Well it's sad to see the GOOD stormfront go. I Will miss
you guy's.

Perhaps they've closed to change name to avoid connoatations with the racist website?

eariler the better!

Dogar230: I really liked Demonstone. I think a sequel with 3 player co-op play, Xbox Live/PSN support, and a deeper combat system would've made it comparable to Ninja Gaiden/God of War/Devil May Cry. The art was great, the music was great. ================================
I loved Demon Stone also. Oh well.

No! Stormfront! I'll miss you! I'll keep my LOTR 2 for Gamecube to remember you.

I'm disappointed to learn that it's the game studio, not the racist website. Oh well I had fond memories of their DOS D&D games, especially The Genie's Curse

Ah man i love the LOTR two towers game it may of been repetitive but it has fun. Sad to see them go under while studios that make bads game like Ninja Bread remain in business

I thought we were talking about that filthy Nazi site, oh well.

It's allways sad when a studio closes.

odd, that stormfront wouldn't comment on the report, i didn't know these developers by name, or games, but after i heard the names of their games, they will be missed, if this is true, if not, there will still a great publisher out there... either way, good luck stormfront, good luck

Another one bites it. It's a shame, cause these guys have been around since the 80's. One misstep, find yourself without the perfectly pitchable product, and you are toast. It's tough to swing a loan from the bank these days. I know of another studio where the management has had cash flow problems, but they are supposedly going to get bought out by one of the big ones.

Those games were not that good anyway.

I was hoping this was about the white supremacist website shutting down. No such luck.

It's still April 1st here --- hmm.. I wonder..

1. the economy, bush, blah blah talk. you my friend are a tool! they are talking about the industry and not national geopolitical situation and all around American economic stability or the lack there of!
2. these guys havent made a decent game in 17 years. no ofense to them, but if they choose their projects smarter and watched gaming trends a bit closer it would have probabaly not come to this! Also it would have helped to get of the crap movie licensing deal. that one has rarely helped anyone, unless u got money abound, and Stormfront clearly didnt!

I didn't care for eragon, but the rest of their games were pretty good. Heres hoping that some other company will hire these people. We dont want their talent being wasted.

That's too bad. I really enjoyed blood wake. It was a super smash bros / twisted metal except with boats. I always hoped there would be a sequal

Wait, was this the studio that made Cold Winter? Even so, this is a shame.

This is terrible. The economy is so awful here in Untited States, that I predict this to be the first of other studios to close down. Thanks Bush.

The Two Towers was a fair dinkum' great game.

I thought the two towers was pretty good lol

Well their last few titles were all the same .. The Two Towers, Eragon, Demon Stone .. and none of them were really any good. All same type of game, average gfx, sucky camera...

Then they wonder why they were not getting pitched to ?

Shame, just rented Spiderwick and it's fun. Not a full purchase though so I guess that's why they're gone.
