Eidos

Chelsea will buy the Premier League, trains will always hit a bumpy bit of track whilst playing "monocycle" on Project Rub. Such things will always be. You can add "turmoil at Eidos" to this list. The company posted huge losses yesterday and is subject to a takeover bid. From a gaming point of view it's not a massive surprise. Angel of Darkness was a disaster, the Champ Manager team were transferred and TimeSplitters, er, split. Latest release Project Snowblind is semi-decent, though is unlikely to bother the higher reaches of the chart. The highly promising Lego Star Wars is the only real gem on the horizon. The simple fact is that Eidos haven't released a great game for years.
