Factor 5 was a studio renowned within the games industry for creating amazing world while pushing console boundaries. The company was most well-known for its Rouge Squadron series on both the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Gamecube. They are also known for the beautiful, yet broken game LAIR on the PlayStation 3.
