Westwood Games founder forms console dev Jet Set Games


Before Westwood Studios became a prime example of EA's once-voracious appetite, it used to be synonymous with the top tier of real-time strategy development. Though the company may be nothing but a logo on some oversized cardboard game boxes now, co-founder Brett Sperry is far from gone. He's launching a new studio, with a few other Westwood alums, called Jet Set Games.

Before you dust off your clicking finger, be forewarned that Jet Set has, for now, relegated itself to Wii, PS3, 360 and iPhone development. We can't wait to see what titles the new company cranks out, as long as they don't sport the tragic, pseudo-swinger pastiche of its website.
