Livingstone gets OBE in New Year honours

The UK games industry got a royal nod again at the new year, with EIDOS founder (and essentially Lara Croft's sugar daddy) Ian Livingstone receiving the Order of the British Empire. He joins other British games luminaries Jez San and Peter Molyneux in the upper echelons of modern aristocratic culture. Congratulations!

Hmm, don't see the Rockstar North boys getting anything yet, though they have produced the most successful computer games series in the world. Methinks this year's Bully won't do much for their chances.

For God and the Empire, indeed.
