When Worlds Collide



In one of the more bizarre moves of the past few years, huge RPG zenith, Square Enix, has bought out British game developer/publisher Eidos Interactive. Eidos is best known for their Tomb Raider series as well as several PC ports of Square's popular Final Fantasy series.

This won't be the first time Square works closely with (or in this case owns) a prominent western developer. Back in the late '90s, they put out several titles with the help of Electronic Arts who had become a juggernaut of its own by then.

It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this partnership, assuming Square doesn't just leave Eidos to their own devices.
