It's a slow news week so we report to you... wired and every other gaming website in the world is writing up that over 1.5 million people (but no PC gamers, naturally) have unleashed their paychecks and pocket money on STFU during its first week of release.

Congratulations all round to the LucasArts marketing department.

In other tangentially related news, TT Games who have brought you LEGO incarnations of your favourite LucasFilm movies (and 'Attack of the Clones') have just released LEGO Batman in the US with other territories following around October 10.

    They're hiring again, though (according to the newsletter).

    Damn, it was supposed to be an answer to jp30's post! Sorry.

    Well, I'm still happy for the internal team who worked on it. The game has flaws but it wasn't supposed to be JUST a cashcow. I guess they really believed in the quality of the title. Hopefully LucasArts won't fire them now. :-P

    It's a bit late for that. Pretty sure a whole bunch of the team was culled at the previous sacking round earlier in the year.
