Good news for those of you still playing Tomb Raider: Underworld (and especially for who play primarily for the whole “looking at Lara” factor). Following their free classic costumes pack, Eidos has released their second free costume pack for the intrepid adventurer: wetsuits. The costumes’ download is just shy of 62MB, and like all Tomb Raider [...]

It seems Eidos isn’t the only UK publisher/developer facing hard times ahead. In a recent NESTA report, analysts predict the UK will slip to sixth in the world gaming scene by the end of 2009; China, Korea, and Canada are all expected to surpass the UK. The first two will (almost assuredly) remain the US [...]

By now, I think it’s pretty safe to say Eidos is likely going to be bought out by another company. The initial reports linked both Electronic Arts and Ubisoft to the ailing publisher, but since then two other companies have expressed interest. One of them, Warner Bros., makes perfect sense. The company already owns part of [...]

Surprise surprise, SCi Entertainment (the owners of Tomb Raider and parent company of Eidos) is reportedly in the middle of buyout talks once again. A frequent member of the “Inside sources tell us that…” club, this time it appears that the rumored talks may hold some actual merit, even if it is published in The [...]

Eidos just can’t catch a break, man. First they go and make review scandals a yearly event, and now they’ve gone and released Tomb Raider Underworld on the Wii with a major, haha-you-can’t-beat-this-game bug.

In a move highly reminicent of last December's "Gerstmann-gate" fiasco, sources are reporting that publisher Eidos has yet again determined that an average Metacritic review score is simply unacceptable -- and taken steps to ensure that such scores for Tomb Raider: Underworld fail to sway would-be buyers. Wednesday, GameSpot UK journalist Guy Cocker twittered the following [...]

"Why so serious?" That's the question LEGO Batman is asking gamers in 2008. By reducing our favorite films to their most campy moments and those larger-than-life characters to diminutive LEGO mini-figs, Traveler's Tales has made a business out of hero humor -- and the only Batman game you'll be playing this year is theirs. But in 2009, [...]

Think of it. The brain of a dead man waiting to live again in a body I made with my own hands! Now I know what it feels like to be God! Okay, so, maybe Monster Lab isn't quite so fraught with moral dilemmas as your standard mad science story. We can still have a [...]

It was somewhere around my visit to Eidos' booth at last week's E3 that I started to realize just how many games are using the naming scheme "Something: Something Else." This didn't detract, thankfully, from my hands-on demo of Battlestations: Pacific, the sequel to 2007 WW2 RTS/action combat title Battlestations: Midway. I had a chance to [...]

At last week's E3 Summit, we stopped in to visit Eidos, and check up on what Lara Croft has been up to since her anniversary. It would seem she's staying active, which is nice for a franchise her age. Eidos treated us to a sneak peek at Tomb Raider: Underworld, showing us a few of [...]
