Sad news came from Brighton, on the south coast of Britain, on Sunday: Littleloud, the creative studio best known in recent times for the factory simulator Sweatshop, is closing its doors.
From VGC: "Ever since I discovered that Channel 4 was wooing advertisers back in February for the show’s potential return, I was adamant that it was a bad move.
The original show was the perfect storm – a charismatic presenter, a brilliantly and deliberately ‘miscast’ serious TV host as the titular GamesMaster, a bunch of entertaining challenges – all during an era when video games received little to no mainstream media coverage."

Reverse The Odds, a cancer cell analysis game commissioned by Channel 4 for the joint Stand Up To Cancer campaign with Cancer Research UK, has been translated internationally to help beat cancer sooner.
The mobile game, which uses the power of the public to analyse real images of cancer cells, was launched in October and is now available in four additional languages – French, Spanish, Italian and German.
