Massive Entertainment seeks new corporate overlords
Massive Entertainment, makers of competent RTS games like World in Conflict and (personal favorite) the Ground Control series, looks like it's going to land on its feet as Actilizzard cleans house of many Sierra properties. The Swedish developer tells VG247 that it seems to have "plenty of options" and that it's had some good meetings, but it is currently in limbo.
The developer is currently working on the Xbox 360 and PS3 version of World in Conflict, called Soviet Assault, but Activision now owns the franchise, so there are some delicate issues that sound like they still need to be worked out. Well, we wish the studio the best, they've brought us many hours of gaming enjoyment.

Hopefully they find their footing. I won't say I'm a huge fan of theirs, but they seem like solid developers willing to deliver a great experience.

Ground control could have been such an awesome game if it had had a save system... up there with homeworld.
GC2 and the later games went a bit too Starcraft for my liking, I rather preferred the slightly slower, more tactical approach of GC1.

I really hope they work something out soon. I love WiC and can't wait for a sequel (I know it hasn't been announced, but they'd be foolish not to make one!).

WiC was the best game of last year, no jokes!
