Eidos Interactive, one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today picked up the Favourite Character Award at the 24th Annual Golden Joystick Awards. British archaeologist Lara Croft scored silverware at the exclusive event held in London.

"We're absolutely delighted to win this award; it's particularly fulfilling to receive an award that is voted on by the people who actually buy the games. Our development teams work extremely hard to create games that exceed the expectations of the gaming public so today is very much about congratulating them for all of the hard work they have put in." - Dave Clark, European Marketing Director, Eidos Interactive.

The Golden Joystick Awards are the only way UK gamers can directly tell games publishers which games made their year. With a record number of votes cast in 2006, the Golden Joystick Awards have cemented their position as a benchmark for the industry.
