Video Games are Dead. Clover Studio R.I.P.

UPDATED!!!This just in, Clover may be breaking away from Capcom and starting their own independent studio.MORE HERE

Well if you haven't heard, the talented Clover Studio is no more. That's right the game development team that brought you awesome games like Vietiful Joe and Okami has been dissolved by Capcom.More here.

Will there ever be updates to their great titles now? Who knows? Capcom still owns the IP's, but even so, Clover were creative master minds. The games they released were unique and filled with beautiful art styles. All you gamers out there that never bought Viewtiful Joe or Okami are missing out on key games in gaming history. Without teams like Clover willing to try something creative and unique, the game industry will be flooded with crap games.

Clover Studio's final game, God Hand was just released Tuesday.

Its a sad day. Nintendo may just be the last stand for creativity in gaming. Capcom, I thought I knew you.


And now, a brief photo montage of Clover Studio gaming. RIP.
