"Since then, they've been forced into Kinect development, drained of soul and creativity."

Its so true! I wish it wasn't but it it is. It makes me sad to see such a wonderful company brought down by Microsoft.

It's not like Microsoft forced them to do everything.  They went ahead and released 3 legitimate Rare games, Kameo, Viva Pinata (well there was a sequel, but it was basically an expansion pack), and Banjo NnB.  The games were pretty good, but were commercial failures.  Therefore, they had no choice but to take a different direction.  Otherwise they would have just been shut down and/or bankrupt.

Its not the first, Ensomble, bungie (in a way) and meny other indies

Lol.  Indie devs don't do well because they make bad or unsellable games, not because the publisher screws them over.  If the games are legitimately good then they do just fine.
