Venom Games Closes Up Shop
So here is an interesting conundrum. What do you do when a developer closes up shop while you are reviewing their game? Well, the review still goes on, but there is a benefit to know that you probably don’t have to worry about DLC to purchase.
Venom Games, developer of Don King Presents: Prize Fighter and Rocky Legends, has shut down production, and is closing their doors. Formed out of the ruins of Rage Studios back in the late 90′s, Venom Games has been performing porting duties for several games, like Prey, but started putting together Rocky boxing games. They were selected by 2K Sports to develop the Don King game, but lackluster sales and ill-fated reviews seemed to seal the deal for this small development house.
Venom Games was handling the development of the Wii version of Prize Fighter, so it will be interesting if the game is shelved or if it is handed off to another developer to finish. Prize Fighter was going to make use of the Wii Fit board if you had it attached to your Wii.

WHAT? I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! I NEVER SAW IT COMING!
That sucks! With all the money in games, and development, I hate to see any developer close up. And ports, IMHO are just as important as the originals they're ported from!! And far too many ports are shite as it is. These guys did some good work!
