The Club, by Bizarre Creations, was a step out of the studio’s comfort zone - away from the racing joy of Project Gotham Racing and the arcadey thrills of Geometry Wars, it… well, it actually blended together elements from both those series’ and ended up - sadly - both dead and forgotten.
Here’s me, Bransfield, hero of this story, talking about The Club a bit. You can find me in The Club, etc etc.
