A statement released by the company to the games site Kotaku said: "We do regular reviews to ensure that the resources we have can create and produce high quality, innovative and commercially viable projects in an increasingly competitive market place.

I hope this turns out to be a positive thing. Maybe they will re-band as another outfit and go on to create multi-platform games.
