3D Realms is now denying that they received an offer from Take-Two Interactive for the IP of Duke Nukem Forever. Rumors swirled last week that US$ 30 million was put on the table, but the devs are saying that these are all just that - rumors.

Two years ago, Atari Europe was fortunately in the safe zone, despite the mother company's grim and disheartening financial report of Q2 2007. Back then, the problem was isolated only to the US offices, and the Atari branch was said to be unharmed by the restructuring overseas. Today, however, Atari Europe is no more, now having been officially acquired by Namco Bandai.

Alone in the Dark, Atari's final massive, mainstream videogame project 4 years in the making, will be releasing in less than a month, we're told from a recent interview with Infogrames' head honcho, Phil Harrison. Those who are still tossing dimes deciding whether they'd pick up a copy or not for their PlayStation 3s, Xbox 360s, Wiis, or Windows rigs may love what's coming before that. Atari has plans to release demos for before their version's respective release dates.

Phil Harrison, Infogrames' new top boss, was never secretive over his plans to cater games to the new broader market. Alone in the Dark (PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Windows, Xbox 360) will probably be the last major mainstream title queued up in Atari's arsenal if this was true. Thankfully it's not - well not in entirety. Atari will still be catering to hardcore, but not in the same respects as before. Go to the full story for more.

Finally, the marriage is complete. After asking for a deadline extension, Atari has finally accepted Infogrames' proposal last March for a merger - to the tune of US$ 11 million. More details after the jump.

Wondering just who the unlucky suitor was that got shot down by SCi Entertainment? Then wonder no more, as it seems the jilted lover pretty much came up and admitted to it. Who is it, you ask? Infogrames, the guys who brought us the Alone in the Dark series. Check out just what could have gone wrong in this deal at the full article, and why Infogrames thinks they could've been perfect for one another.

Sometimes, when people start over, they change their names. In the case of Infogrames, David Gardner and Phil Harrison are thinking of dropping the company name altogether in the interest of starting anew. More on this proposed new beginning after the jump.

In another interview with Games Industry, Infogrames CEO Gardner was able to talk about how they're doing things now in Atari. In fact he stated that given their competitors and how big the gaming industry is, they don't have room for any mistakes anymore. Find out what Gardner said in the full article.

Following the news about SCi Entertainment being open for a takeover bid so far?
