Game Park is dead, long live Game Park Holdings


When Game Park, creators of the GP32, split into Game Park and Game Park Holdings we all knew it would be a fight to the death.

Want to check out what Game Park was all about at their official website? Too bad. It redirects to a shoe site now. The bloody Game Park console wars of 2006 are over; those of you who watched with eager anticipation, cheering on either Game Park or Game Park Holdings, can now begin the long and painful healing process. You can start by checking out Game Park Holding's GP2X: it's South Korean, has "game" and "park" in the title, and even has the letters X, G, and P in its handheld name.
