2256.   Tomb Raider Chronicles - TOMB RAIDER CHRONICLES FOR THE MAC

This past weekend Aspyr indicated that the latest major game in that series, Lara Croft's posthumous Tomb Raider: Chronicles retrospective, will also be coming to the Macintosh. Aspyr's relationship with Eidos has led to other lucrative opportunities, as well - last summer, Aspyr published the Mac version of Deus Ex, the 3D role-playing game developed by Eidos partner Ion Storm. Deus Ex turned into one of the crown jewels of this past summer's Mac game offerings.

2257.   Tomb Raider Chronicles - EIDOS PLC NOT GAME FOR TAKEOVER

Eidos Plc., the U.K. video game maker that created animated heroine Lara Croft, slammed the door on a potential takeover Monday after it concluded that the terms and price didn't offer a good value to its shareholders. Eidos shares fell 11% on the London stock exchange to 261 pence Monday and dropped 14% on the U.S. Nasdaq market to 3.88. Eidos indicated last month that progress had slowed on its negotiations to sell the company.

2258.   Tomb Raider Chronicles - TOMB RAIDER REPORT FROM PINEWOOD

This from a stealthy reporter on the set of Tomb Raider at Pinewood, London... As you know the production of Tomb Raider is taking place at Pinewood Studios where the people involved in the flick are heavy at work building sets and shooting scenes. I got to see the whole set and first I was shown the interior of the Croft mansion which the workers were already tearing down again because shooting had wrapped there.

2260.   Tomb Raider Chronicles - LARA CROFT AND THE MONA LISA

I dunno. One minute you're sat there being force fed double Vodkas by a delectable young lady dressed as a cowgirl, the next you're staggering around incoherently trying to remember what your name is. The Eidos press party, a civilised, friendly, multicultural affair during the day, descended into an orgy of hedonism and reckless abandon as the evening wore on, and frankly I feel violated. Fortunately there were some spiffing new games there that made up for the shameless antics of a few inebriated journos. Well me anyway.
