VU Games and Radical Entertainment which developed the hit title The Simpsons: Hit & Run announced a worldwide development agreement.
    Multi-Year deal grants VU Games rights to Radical's development talent and technologies for six multi-platform games, as well as an option to purchase the developer.

    "Radical Entertainment is one of the preeminent game developers in North America and their track record speaks clearly as to why they are an attractive development partner for our company," said Bruce Hack, Chief Executive Officer of Vivendi Universal Games. "Our agreement with Radical demonstrates VU Games' commitment to strengthening our development capabilities."
It leaves the door open for further consolidation of the games industry, when the times get tough, it appears the bigger publishers and developers are positioning themselves, to a stronger position, where it may be that only the big kids can play.
