Bizarre Creations was a video game developer studio located in Liverpool, United Kingdom. The studio is best known for the racing titles Metropolis Street Racer. In addition, they are also well-known for the follow-up Project Gotham Racing series that came out for Mobile Phone, Zune GD, Xbox and Xbox 360. Along with their popular racing titles, the company has also created games in different genres. Some of the games in other genres are the TPS (third-person shooter) games The Club and Fur Fighters and also the arcade series Geometry Wars. The company was bought in 2007 by the popular publisher Activision and subsequently finished the Blur racer game in May 2010. One year later, Activision officially announced that Bizarre Creations would shut down and sometime later it was confirmed the date. Bizarre Creations officially closed by publishing a video of the dedicated work.

The Start

Founded by Martyn Chudley, Bizarre Creations at first started as Raising Hell Software. The popular video game company, Sega, scorned “Hell” and the studio was nameless for short time. It was founded back in 1988. 6 years later, a pending submission to Sony forced the decision of a new name. Martyn left “Weird Concepts” temporarily on the document that was submitted. After sometime, an employee used thesaurus by Microsoft Word and “Bizarre Creations” stuck. The team started with 5 persons and started working on a project named “Slaughter”. A demo version was sent to Psygnosis and after seeing the demo, they signed the team in the project Formula 1 for PlayStation. It’s noted that Formula 1 is the best-selling game in 1996 in Europe.

In 2007, Activision bought the company for $107.4m. It was noted that $67.4m will be paid immediately and the other $40m will be paid in the period of 5 years. Moreover, it was announced by Activision that Project Gotham 4 would be the last game for Microsoft Game Studios that’s developed by Bizarre Creations. In addition, Microsoft did hold all rights for the Project Gotham Racing franchise.

But if you like rap that has actual meaning to the lyrics, not pretty boy shit trying to rap about a woman's body, download Project Gotham...you won't regret it I promise. Rainey can actually spit and sound intelligent while doing so. He doesn't need autotune and a blunt.
