Ex-Volition team members form Blazing Lizard, working on downloadable title photo

After throwing darts a series of random words on a cork board, three former members of Volition have started up a new studio, Blazing Lizard. The core members of the team (including Sandeep Shekar, Jiovanie Velazquez, and token white guy, Christopher Stockman) have worked on previous high-profile Volition titles like Saint's Row and The Punisher.

The studio is currently developing an original downloadable title for next-gen home consoles, and has plans to reveal more details on August 13. No other information is available at this time, but I'm hoping that it will involve shoving a dude's face into a parahna tank, one of the highlights of Volition's The Punisher.

Call me when Dave Baranec and Adam Pletcher start something up.

Newbies are of no interest to me.

Only in the gaming industry would you ever need a token white guy.

The Punisher was awesome in my opinion, especially using codes to play without the censors.

You need to ask Interplay that one. They're the ones who contractually kept the publishing rights.

They need to go WiiWare, then we can play mini-games where we shove those cute Mii faces into a deep fryer if a thug doesn't give up the key to the boss room.
