Twisted Pixel are often referred to as the king of the Xbox Live Arcade by many... and by many, I mean me. Kicking things off with The Maw, then upping the ante with 'Splosion Man and Comic Jumper, they're looking to keep building their quality stable of games by bringing The Gunstringer and Ms. Splosion man to the service later on this year.
We caught up with Twisted Pixel CEO, Michael Wilford, at this year's Microsoft Showcase to talk about their time developing with Kinect, the current state of the Xbox Live Arcade, the future of downloadable games and we even talk a bit about the dodgy tactics from Capcom with MaXsplosion.
Meta announced it has acquired developers Twisted Pixel, Armature Studio, and Camouflaj.Twisted Pixel is known for The Maw,‘Splosion Man,Ms. Splosion Man, Comic Jumper, LocoCycle, and Wilson's Heart. Armature Studio developed the virtual reality version of Resident Evil 4. They also recently released Where the Heart Leads. Camouflaj is the studio that developed Marvel's Iron Man VR and Republique.
I always said that MS should have purchased Twisted Pixel way back when they made MS Splosion Man.
Not sure what they have been up to lately, but I loved the humor found in their games.
Oh no. We need Microsoft to look at what Meta is aiming to purchase so that they can buy 'em before Meta can so that they can save us from Facebook.
A new trailer accompanies the announcement.

"We had a lot of lawyers saying that we should totally go after them and I'm sure that maybe we would win something, but in the time it takes to pursue that to try and maybe make some money out of suing them or whatever, we could make like two more games. Making games is more fun than suing someone, so fuck that."
These guys are epic.
MS please buy these guys!!!!
Twisted Pixel is MS's Q-Games, they're awesome.
