Elixir Studios to close following cancellation of key project
Rob Fahey 11:59 28/04/2005

Closure blamed on lack of room for small independent developers wanting to work on innovative and original ideas

There are still original titles being produced within the industry - but sometimes they lack something in terms of execution or marketability e.g. The Great Art Race

There are plenty of RTS titles worth a look at the moment though,
Hot on the heels of Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War and LOTR The Battle for Middle Earth came World of Warcraft MMO - which everyone tells me is awesome.

An announcement on Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Winter Assault - the first Expansion pack to Dawn of War - not entirely unexpected!

Then there are some more games to take a look at:
