 Voodoo Extreme: Legend Entertainment Shut Down?
Legend recently completed work on the XMP addon, which added an excellent multiplayer mode to Unreal 2.
The Legend homepage has already been shut down and all that remains of their legacy is the Xbox port of the game that is being handled by Australian developers Tantalus.
Legend has had much critical acclaim in the past although their titles have not always sold as well as they could, partly due to outside interference from publishers, as was the case with Unreal 2, who's multiplayer mode had to be removed originally as it clashed with Unreal Tournament 2003.

 CD Review: 'Get Lifted', John Legend - Entertainment
Legend's style ranges from hypnotic jams laced with vocal arrangements that are reminiscent of Stevie Wonder in the 1970s to beautiful ballads that reminds one of Marvin Gaye.
Legend appeared in the music industry by playing piano on Lauren Hill's "Everything Is Everything." That hit song launched a career of session playing with Britney Spears, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, Talib Kweli, Eve, Common, the Black Eyed Peas and Kanye West.
Legend delivers a magnificent debut album that blends the old and new style of R&B into something that is deep and romantic.

 John Legend, FLOW Entertainment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
What Legend has created is one of the most complete and heartfelt albums to appear in a while.
The sound from top to bottom is gospel-tinged classic soul, combined with all the sentiments in the everyday life of a modern man. Legend’s heart is clearly into this—it shows on every line, from when he’s talking about relationships—both faithful and unfaithful—to celebrating his move from struggling artist to celebrating.
According to his biography, Legend was the musical director at his church back in Scranton, PA for nearly nine years.

there's always dozens of characters, all of whom are legends in the martial arts world and have strange powers or weapons and mighty intellects, and tons of class and style as well.
And LEGEND OF THE BAT is certainly plenty of fun, with its convoluted plot line, eccentric characters and inventive fantasy.
Overall verdict - LEGEND OF THE BAT is pretty much as silly as its name sounds, but another highly enjoyable wu xia fantasy from one of the all time masters of the genre.

In short, Legend Entertainment games are probably the closest to what Infocom games would have evolved into had Infocom still existed.

More character- and event-driven than most wuxia movies, Legend of the Flying Swordsman is often criticized for being confusing and lack of action.
Both do not follow genre conventions, both place emphasis on human characteristics and values, and both are like prequels to the novels: both filmmakers take imaginative liberty to explain how the characters get to where they are at the beginning of the books.
Other than a few problems, Legend of the Flying Swordsman is worth watching.
