Brash Entertainment announced today that they had secured $400 million USD in investments that would go towards funding the development of video games based on television, music and movie properties.
The company claims that to date they have received over 40 licenses through their partnerships with 5 major film studios and that 12 games are currently in production including titles based on the blockbuster hits "300" and "Saw".
