Leading UK-based development monster Climax has merged three of its studios creating what the company claims is the largest single development studio in the UK.
Freshly-named Climax sees Climax Solent, Climax London and Climax Handheld blended together with Escofian care to form the new dish which will, according to reports, be focused solely on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 2 development projects.
"This exciting development is a glowing tribute to the progressive thinking here at Climax," said Simon Gardner, president of Climax Action. "With the Solent studio recently completing work on the critically-acclaimed Sudeki, and the London division working on a massive action licence, now is the perfect time to bring these respected studios together.”
It’s rather interesting that Gardner refers to Sudeki as being critically acclaimed; perhaps he just meant to say mauled. It's an easy mistake to make.
Unabashed, he continues, “And by combining one team's experience with first-person shooters with the other team's expertise in third-person and vehicle games, we've created a studio that is geared-up to produce truly outstanding action games.”
Great stuff.

"...first-person shooters with the other team's expertise in third-person and vehicle games..."
Worrying how that could turn out :P
But having said that, it's happened with Halo (well, the third-person bit is the vehicle bit, but you get what I'm saying).
I just hope the merge in three studios doesn't mean a clash in conflicting ideas and game aspects. Things like that always affect a game, sometimes for the worst. =|

"Leading UK-based development monster Climax"
I played Crash n Burn on Xbox this afternoon.
It's by Climax.
It's s**t.
The press screens make it look a super lush affair. It's actually a dull crash 'em up in the mold of Destruction Derby, with graphics barely batter those seen in Burnout (that's Burnout 1, BTW)
It held my attention for about three races.
