    Eidos Interactive

    Company »

    Eidos was an English based developer and publisher behind such games as Tomb Raider, Age of Conan, and Hitman. Since a buyout from Square Enix, the company is now know as Square Enix Europe.

    So I take it Eidos wont be advertising on this site.

    Jeff said he they will be in charge of advertising. I just imagined Jeff slaming his door on the Edios guy trying to advertise on GiantBomb.

    Note- For all of you who dont know what Eidos is the publisher of Kane and Lynch. If you still dont understand my topic then you were not a gamespot user. Which is a good thing

    Haha glad you guys get it. I kind of hope jeff does a review for the next kane and lynch. And acts SUPER excited in it. And says is the best game ever. And then gives it 0 stars.

    Because wasnt eidos biggest complaint on how bored he sounded during the review? Well did they ever think maybe he was bored because he was playing thier game!

    It would be pretty humorous if the guys at GB purposely gave future Eidos games a low score - just to gloat that nobody can do anything about it!

    Ya and considering this is the hottest game site around right now, I assume a bunch of companies would love to advertise here. I mean over 10,000 users on a GAMING site thats a day and a half old...thats unheard of.

    Yeah it sucks that Jeff got fired for a crap reason, but hey now we have Giant Bomb. GameSpot did some pretty bad damage control after he got fired too. I hope Edios is happy that a legitimate reviewer lost his job because he voiced his opinion about their mediocre game.

    Or see how spammed the games page gets with edits of how crappy it is. Maybe we will do the whole gamespot thing, where everyone writes a review giving it one star.

    Not offically no, they said it was because of other issues. I think we can all assume though that the Kane and Lynch at least was the straw that broke the camels back whether or not their was other stuff they were displeased about.

    Thanks. And there is a comment up there saying they just want advertisements on energy and game channels...that would acually be really cool. We wouldn't have to worry about lopsided reviews, and the guys wouldn't feel pressured when writing a review on an advertised game.

    Regardless whether he was fired because of the review, it brought Eidos a lot of bad press.
