EIDOS' SHARE PRICE ROCKETS ON FTSE

Heavy trading on Eidos' stock spurred on by an approach from SCi and Elevation Partners has seen the beleaguered video-game publisher add 11 pence (24.58%) to its market capital as a bidding war ensued for the creator of Lara Croft. Overnight, Elevation Partners - a private equity group helmed by U2 singer Bono and former Electronic Arts president John Riccitiello and armed with a 500 million pound war chest - tendered a bid which valued Eidos at 71.0 million. As Eidos' share price rocketed during morning trade, British publisher SCi countered with an all-share offer valuing Eidos at 76.1 million. Eidos has yet to formally accept either bid.

WHEREFORE ART THOU TOMB RAIDER 7?

As of 1500 GMT, no press release has been issued by UK publisher Eidos announcing the return of British adventurer Lara Croft in Tomb Raider 7. Fervent speculation during the past few weeks fuelled the popular belief (read: hope) that Eidos would use Feb 14th as a gravy train for spectacularly unveiling a new Tomb Raider from new developers Crystal Dynamics.
