Rare has responded to the closure of long term fan site "MundoRare" and said it was very "sorry" to hear that the owners had decided to shut down the 9-year old site.
You can checkout the reason(s) for closure here, as written by the MundoRare team.
MundoRare announced it's closure earlier in the week after announcing that Rare had knocked back its plans for a video documentary on the company stating that Rare's PR department had denied permission to shoot the video arguing that the film wasn’t going to be “on message.”
It's anyone guess what "on message" means and this inevitably will come out in the wash.
The Mundro team voice their disappointment in Rare's Kinect game Kinect Sports, and indeed in most Rare games released after Microsoft's 2002 purchase of the studio and this also playing a part in its decision to close.
I really liked Grabbed By The Ghoulies (awful name) and I also really enjoyed Kameo (but it was let down by the terrible voice acting in it). I didn't like Perfect Dark Zero much.
I probably like Knight Lore or Donkey Kong Country best though.
