Blue Omega, the developers of the critically lambasted Damnation, has been disbanded citing 'issues' with Codemasters, the title's publisher, as well as poor sales. Following a Twitter post from one of the development team, the news became official once Kotaku reported on it.

The news comes as somewhat of a shame, as with a little help and guidance the company could surely have been a developer of some at least decent titles.

The full story can be found on IGN and Kotaku.

Fans of Serious Sam, the fun, fast and frantic FPS that didn't take itself too seriously, will be delighted to learn that Croteam, Devolver Digital and Majesco Games are re-releasing the title on XBox Live Arcade, complete with a full high definition finish.

The game's title is misleading, as  Serious Sam HD is actually devoid of the usual epic, orchestral-scored narratives involving space marines, instead absorbing you with its brilliantly over-the-top gunplay and large selection of both enemies and weapons to annihilate them with. Now with online multiplayer and (naturally) HD graphics, it seems like the best may have just gotten better.

Should be good.
