MDK 1 was on the PS1, but other than that I don't know of any games they made other than MDK 1 and 2 that were on other consoles.
MDK was developed by Shiny Entertainment, though. Or is there a "close-enough" connection between them?
Yes, exactly, Murder Death Kill is the baby of David Perry, who's also famous for excellents games such as earthworm jim, aladdin (genesis/megadrive), ...Enter the Matrix... yep , one game and it sinks a whole brilliant resume
Just like Qroach, i' m a bit disappointed by this acquisition, not that Bioware is not a AAA developer or something, but with this money MS should buy talented japaneses developers, such as let's say LEVEL 5 (Dark cloud 1/2, Dragon Quest 8, True Fantasy Online) or (bigger but not that expensive) Hudson soft (the Tengai (Far east of eden) franchise is very appreciated in japan).
Buying a company that already work very closely to you, is not a super smart movement, EXCEPT if MS did their calaculations and found that, the price they paid (and will pay) exclusives titles from Bioware was close enough of to the price of the entire company. If so, it's a smart move.
But i keep on thinking that MS should concentrate its efforts toward japan, in a better way than what they are doing now (not that hard anyway, since you can 't do worse) By buying company that can deliver content that japaneses like, this and in quantity, because the number of games released on Xbox in japan is ludicrously low and non-adapted to japanese's customers tastes.(BTW MS has decided to release their games untranslated,...games like buffy the vampire slayer: CB, simpsons hit and runs.... in japan...and in english :? )
