Eidos Announces Leipzig Game Line-Up

Officials from SCi-owned Eidos Interactive announced what titles the publisher will feature during this week's Games Convention in Leipzig, including the recently signed massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) Age of Conan and a version of Tomb Raider: Legend for the Nintendo DS. The company will also showcase Battlestations: Midway, a PC and Xbox 360 title that has recently become the subject of a heated, yet somewhat mysterious controversy under allegations by developers MGE and Mithis Entertainment concerning theft of the game's source code, a claim that was flatly denied by SCi. Other titles scheduled to be shown by Eidos during the event include Avalanche Studios' sandbox-style action title Just Cause for the Xbox 360, Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PC; the action/adventure title Justice League Heroes for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, PSP, and Nintendo DS; and TT Games' Bionicle Heroes, which is based upon the popular LEGO brand toys. In addition, Eidos noted that behind closed doors the company will be showing off the PC and Xbox 360 title Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, a new title from IO Interactive (Hitman, Freedom Fighters). Eidos describes Kane & Lynch: Dead Men as a “dark and gritty tale of two men bound by circumstance, forced to embark on a violent and chaotic journey, hating each other every step of the way.”
