Kudo Tsunoda
Who He Is: Former General Manager of the now-shuttered EA Chicago, and proud father of the Fight Night series; now employed by Microsoft and working as a project lead on
Gears of War 2.
Why He Needs to Shut His Blower: Colleague Scott Alexander of
Playboy fame recently said, "Kudo seems to have morphed into the downtown version of Cliffy B." Sorry, Scott, that's Clifford Octavius Bleszinki III, in case you didn't get the memo. With his chain-smoking ways, oddball fashion sense -- including eyeglass frames that he apparently stole from Elvis' corpse -- and overcaffeinated speech patterns, Kudo is a little too hell-bent on being outrageous. When we turn out the lights, Kudo, that means we put our heads down on our desks.

Founders of Gamecock "We Have Yet to Publish a Good Game" Media Group based in Austin, TX.
Why They Need to Shut Their Blowers: After their overproduced funeral for E3 at last year's convention and their rude interruption of Ken Levine's acceptance speech at the craptastic 2007 Spike Videogame Awards, Gamecock sure is good at making noise. But they're apparently not very good at finding quality games to publish. Have you played
Hail to the Chimp? It's terrible. And the rest of their offerings --
Insecticide,
Mushroom Men,
Velvet Assassin, etc. -- don't look much better. Stop talking. Stop holding fake funerals. And come see us when you've published any games that are actually decent. Signed, Your Friends at CG.
