Getting up - Image 1If you think Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure was a one time thing, think again. The game released last February 14 and developed by Marc Ecko and Atari was just the beginning. As it turns out, Mr. Ecko, fashion designer and graffiti enthusiast has decided to open up a new division in his company.
 
Marc Ecko Entertainment (MEE), which will be headed by Mike Lynch, will be tasked with finding new and innovative games. In addition to Mr. Lynch, Marc Fernandez will be onboard as VP of Creative and Shawn Rosen as the Executive Producer. Both Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Rosen have extensive backgrounds in the gaming industry. Mr. Fernandez has worked on GTA:Vice City and Mr. Rosen on Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX. So with talent like that, we can expect great games to come from this company.

» Atari.... you are making a VERY BAD move!

I guess there isn't much brains left at Atari... Getting up was not a good game and to waste money on a new venture with this sorry designer is showing that Atari isn't interested in surviving.



Farewell Atari. I'll miss the 2600.

» Do'oh, misread the article.

Ecko is wasting his own money... I hope Atari doesn't waste theirs by publishing thier sorry titles.

» uh?

the article just states that Atari teamed up (past tense) with Marc Ecko for "Getting Up", it does not say they are partnering up (current/future tense) with Marc Ecko and his gaming division.
