(Up, Down and Stars Wars at least). That was the official reason, and although stars wars was ready I think there was concern over it's content, up & down were completed after it had stopped. The real reason (in my cynical opinion of course) is that SONY no longer sold the yaroze, and so they didn't want to spend any money promoting it, which is why the famegame was really run in the first place. The slow trickle of games was more of a final nail.
