Infogrames has completed its $11 million stock purchase of Atari, making it a wholly owned subsidiary of the French publisher now. Infogrames CEO David Gardner stated the full buyout (it previously owned 51.4%) was another key part of the company's extreme makeover, which has seen the shocking revelation of profits show up in the publisher's coffers.
We wonder if this is the key step needed for us to bid adieu to Infogrames and see its name changed to Atari?

More importantly, should we be getting Dead Space for the Xbox360 or the PS3?

Get it for PS3 and give me your PSN ID! I'm not going into the Ishimura alone. I don't have much friends online (PSN at least, XBL is just fine), and the 4 friends on PSN I do have barely cares about Dead Space. PLUS TEH NICE BLACK SUITE IS FREE FOR TEH FIRST 2 WEEKS! I downloaded it a couple days ago.

I made at least 60 dollars worth this morning when I squeezed out alone in the dark. Not sure if it was worth it.

You know, I never understood the point of censoring yourself. It's alright? No one is going to punish you for cursing.

Man, I was going to pick up Atari on the way home today for like, 50 bucks. Looks like Infograms outbid me again. Bastards!
But seriously, it's like the blind leading the blind.

I recently bought Abe's Oddysee (again) on psOne and am of the opinion that that alone justifies Infogrames existance at least up until now...
