US insiders have today informed us that Shiny Entertainment is offloading a significant number of employees.
The Earthworm Jim studio, headed up by Dave Perry, is bulking down, after bulking up for the development of Enter the Matrix, a game described by (the not-at-all-biased) Infogrames and Shiny as one of the best game of all time.
However, others have described it as being without question, one of the least thrilling and most formulaic waste-of-a-licence videogame outings ever.
We, of course, couldn't comment.
