Westwood was a studio that made blockbuster hits. EA bought them and they started releasing a string of lackluster-to-bullshit titles, like Renegade.

haha! look at all these knockouts. nice to see you around, ComradeJ... Eric, we've already talked about how well those brushes are treating you, and Tully, what can I say. gauss-of-six-years-ago (and the current version) is saying "cooool." more from me soon! and here we go: Tully > gauss didn't really go anywhere with…
