GDC 2011: Day 3

Welcome to an exceptionally short GameDev.net as I prepare for the onslaught of GDC stuff next week #33; Also, I #39;ll be at GDC next week #33; So come give hugs, etc.
With the closure of Bizarre Creations recently, some Bizarre veterans have gone on to create Ludic Games.
Robot Entertainment, formed by members of the closed Ensemble Studios, has released some footage of their new game, Orcs Must Die. In an odd bit of news, it appears that Gas Powered Games has taken over Robot Entertainment #39;s last project, Age of Empires Online.
The price of the absolutely superb Playstation Portable has been cut to #036;129.99. Get one. There are so many great games on the system. LIKE TACTICS OGRE. TACTICS OGRE. TACTICS OGRE.
Hopefully I #39;ll see some of you at GDC next week #33;...
