I really liked Mini Ninjas. They should make a sequel.

We co-published Batman: Arkham Asylum with WBIE. We still have a 25.1% stake in Rocksteady Studios (who are awesome).

Hope that helps :)

I think the whole idea was that SE wanted a western dev that was good at making games that appeal to western gamers.


Good move imo.

I think so. Eidos is a good company but they lacked the financial backing of a major publisher in my eyes. Now with Square Enix on board, their games are bound to have more polish. I can't wait to get my hands on the next Kane and Lynch! Also I agree with you on Batman Arkhan Asylum, that is one fun game. I still haven't beaten it yet, actually stuck on the croc sequence right now.

Then who published it in Europe? Eidos is European, after all.

Deus Ex is not PC exclusive, i doubt Thief 4 will be either.

That's just a labeling change. Square Enix bought out Eidos (basically forming a European arm for the conglomerate), so it's essentially the same company.
