This is more about them and their website than their games, but I thought it was more relevant to games since they are game developers.

They update the site quite frequently, rather than showing off a new concept and leaving it dry until the game comes out. They also mostly change the polls every once in a while, but you still get the feeling that somebody is breathing.

Oh, and I love their letters. The guy writing them back seriously made me laugh. http://www.frd.co.uk/letters.php

To those who don't know, these guys made the Timesplitters series, and Haze.

One of their letters, with an answer:

So, let me get this straight. Your cousin's dying wish is for TimeSplitters 4 to be a PS3 exclusive? Well, he's certainly lived a rich, full life.

Second one is the lulz.

Holy stuff that scared me for a sec.
My name is close to Keiran, so it surprised me.

My name is Kieran, so that was a little close for comfort.

Too close for comfort? What?

[Azerath]

I thought it was me, because it looked like my name was there.

Really? You thought you said that because your name was there?

I enjoy strangling small animals while masturbating to pictures of nude underage boys in my tool shed.

Whoa! Did we need to know!?

Not what I meant. I meant that since my name is pretty rare, seeing it somewhere else can be surprising.
Plus, what's with all the offensive remarks? All I did was state my name.

Yeah, Jonas was a pretty uncommon name until the loving Jonas Brothers started stuffting everywhere.
