Infogrames 'Puzzled' by Eidos Chatter Industry: Infogrames has admitted that it's interested in scooping up-for-sale Eidos; but says it isn't one of the mystery companies that's been "in talks" with the British publisher. Earlier this week Eidos announced that it is involved in talks that could lead to a buy-out of the company. Speculation immediately began that one of the un-named companies around the table was Infogrames. But CEO Bruno Bonnell says there hasn't been a conversation ? yet. He told respected U.K. trade paper MCV, "We have many targets and Eidos is one of them, but I am puzzled by this news because we didn't know they were in serious conversation with someone." He added, "Weûll talk with them if they would like us to, but nothing is happening right now." Infogrames is rated at four times the value of Eidos. Bonnell will be seeking to bring Eidos' valuable Lara Croft franchise in-house, as well as Eidos impressive roster of development affiliates and relationships. Rumor has it that Microsoft and Havas are also in the frame; but the chances of a mystery outside-the-industry bidder should not be ruled out. Thanks to MCV U.K. Colin Campbell fgnonline.com
