Brash Entertainment

Brash Entertainment was an American video game publisher focused on licensed games. The company was co-founded in 2007 by Thomas Tull, Bert Ellis, President and COO Nicholas Longano, and CEO and Chairman Mitch Davis.

Of the first three games produced (Alvin and the Chipmunks, Jumper: Griffin's Story and Space Chimps) Alvin was the only one to sell moderately well at 360,000 copies. Despite this all three lost money and the stigma of low quality products made some developers wary of doing business with them.

The company also announced a series of games built around the Saw film franchise. On November 6, 2008 Variety reported that Brash was short on money and was in talks of returning the movie rights back to its holders. During this time Brash was forced to stop paying some of its developers as well as modify the release schedule of the next year to only two titles (Saw and Six Flags: Fun Park) On November 14, 2008 the company went out of business.

Several sources such as Kotaku and Joystiq hinted that Brash had the rights to develop titles based on franchises by DC Comics. Developers Factor 5 and Bottlerocket Entertainment were developing a title based on Superman and The Flash, respectively. Also, one of the licenses was believed to be based on the remake of Clash of the Titans.
