    Some of you might remember WARP, SuperWarp, and the "D" games.

    Kenji Eno died from Karoshi in February this year. Karoshi is the Japanese word for
    death from overwork. Specifically he died from heart problems due to hypertension.

    He was only 42.

    Wow what a good cover,yeah first heard about the news on facebook from one of his former colleagues, thought it wasn't true cause no site had reported it but kotaku and others made it official the next day. The guys games were like films themselves, all had a unique flavor. He would even do unique ways of delivering games and packaging them. He will definitely be missed.

    I have a Kenji Eno invented pay by NFC vending machine near my home. His games were special apart from the Puyo Puyo rip off on the 3DO. I still love the original D and D2 on the DC has aged well in looks and story. A bit tank like on the controls but no where near as bad as the original Resident Evil or Shenmue.
