so, have you guys heard about compulsion games regaining independence from xbox? it's pretty cool, and it seems like they're already making moves as their own publisher. they're now listed as the publisher of their game south of midnight on steam, which is a big deal.

i'm really curious to see what compulsion games does next, now that they're independent. theyRead more: Full article on www.eurogamer.net
