Eidos News… Bad News

Remember Eidos? When talking about Eidos news, simply saying "Lara Croft" should be enough to raise almost any gamer's interest, and I am not talking only about gamers. After all, Angelina Jolie is simply HOT as Lara, and maybe Eidos wouldn't be going down these days if they would have managed to include her in the latest game in the series...or at least a digital copy of her.

Anyway, the bad Eidos news say that the company's shares went all the way down, dropping no less than 25 percent! Who's guilty? Lara Croft, of course! Obviously, I am talking about the poor sales of the last game in the series, and not anything else. Eidos may go down because of her, but Lara Croft is still HOT, with or without Angelina Jolie being the one to impersonate her in movies...

Last night, the company's stock closed at 17.25 pence, but this morning was a real disaster, with 12.25 pence/share, right after the official statement saying that revenues would be no less than GBP 20 million lower than previously expected.

Now, that's interesting. I am sure that the price will get back on track in a few days, and some smart guys will add some juice to their accounts. Don't you think?
