In the ongoing drama surrounding the Eidos take-over, it now seems we may finally be coming to a close.

Today Board of Eidos plc has undertaken further discussions and due diligence with both the Board of SCi Entertainment in relation to SCi's share offer of one SCi share per six Eidos shares and Elevation Partners, L.P. in relation to Elevation's cash offer of 50 pence per Eidos share.

Ubisoft was mentioned as a contender, and earlier today, reports stated that SCi had bought Eidos.

Interestingly enough, Elevation Partners is lead by people such as U2's Bono and former EA President John Riccitiello.
Running with Scissors Working on Next Postal Sequel
by Rainier on March 17, 2005 @ 8:46 a.m. PST | Filed under News
In a long interview with the Washington Post, Running with Scissors revealed that it is working on the next Postal sequel, code-named "Catharsis." The year is 2007 and the Dude has just left the town that was destroyed in the last game after accidentally finding and setting off a "weapon of mass destruction" misplaced by the U.S. government. He flees the atomic Armageddon and finds himself at a political rally for a presidential candidate in a nearby suburb. The plot unfolds as the player attempts to get random temp jobs that will cause him to cross paths with the presidential candidate, the Taliban, environmental advocacy groups and others. Except there's a twist: The next Postal will be a violent video game about nonviolence. You'll still have access to a slew of weapons, but you'll be rewarded with a better outcome if you play peacefully.
