Anyone who bought the ambitious online game APB had just a few weeks to enjoy it before the studio behind it collapsed like a stack of dominos. Customers are being told not to expect a refund of any kind, but if you make a stink about it publisher EA will toss a free game your way...

With Scottish uber-dev Realtime Worlds (the creator of Crackdown, headed up by original Grand Theft Auto designer Dave Jones) closing down following the failure of its long-in-development&amp;#160;MMO shooter&amp;#160;APB, the news has hit that the game itself is also done and dusted.

It&#39;s been a rough week for APB developer Realtime Worlds. News of the company&#39;s unravelling has spread through the interwebs like public relations napalm, casting serious doubts on the Scottish studio&#39;s ability to keep the lights on, let alone provide ongoing support for its recent MMO, APB...

Three years ago developer RealTime Worlds appeared to be headed for stardom. The company&amp;#8217;s first release, Crackdown, was a hit, and it also had an awesome open-world MMO in development, called APB, which promised relief from the genre&amp;#8217;s fantasy obsession.

What a difference three...</description><link>http://www.gamesradar.com/play-apb-while-you-can-the-developers-shutting-down/</link><pubDate>Aug. 18, 2010, 12:07 a.m.</pubDate></item><item><title>PC Gamer gives APB a 55%, developers expected &amp;#8220;mixed&amp;#8221; reviews </title><description> 

If you had high hopes for Realtime Worlds&amp;#8217; online game APB, you might be disappointed. PC Gamer has just published their review of the cops &amp;#8216;n robbers MMO, awarding it a lowly score of 55%.

There&#39;s&amp;#160;a lot to say about the giant multiplayer shooter APB, but what caught our eyes was the character creation - the completely insane character creation. Realtime Worlds has gone totally over the top. Here&#39;s a short (and by no means complete) rundown...

This MMO is a lot of things, but right now it&amp;#8217;s a remake of Heat, as performed by The Muppets.

The more we see of APB, the more we want it.&amp;#160;Like StarCraft 2, it&#39;s a PC title that&#39;s going to be worth abandoning your console for - at least until it comes out on Xbox 360. Check out these latest screens over the page.
