So sad. The Star Wars: Rogue Squadron games were so incredible. I feel like I should blame Sony for this. If it weren't for their horrible motion controls, Lair could have maybe been a passable game instead of a studio killing disaster.

Man, I remember factor 5. It seems like a long time since I've seen a game from them though. Have they done anything recently?

@MattyFTM: Lair - a steaming pile of dragon crap. Factor 5 started with the massive lay offs soon after this game came out and have pretty much been dead in the water for the past year. It just took up until now for them to officially board up the doors and close up shop.
