A Name To Watch: Respawn Entertainment

Rather large news today within the video game industry, as Electronic Arts announced the creation of Respawn Entertainment, to be independently lead by ex-Infinity Ward executives Vince Zampella and Jason West. Those were of course the two guys ousted from development shop Infinity Ward by the ownership suits at Activision last month, not long after their amazing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 release took the gaming world by storm.

Obviously, Zampella and West will be starting from scratch with a new development team, and it's likely to be years before anything concrete comes out of Respawn. But even so, I eagerly look forward to hearing what their first offering will be, as CoD:MW2 has a whole lot of street cred around these parts!
