Lara's parent company go deeper into the red

Tomb Raider creators Eidos have reported pre-tax losses of £37.9 million in the first six months of the financial year, doubling the amount the company are in the red.

Chief Executive Charles Cornwall told BBC News that this was due to "relatively few releases" in the period, coupled with "increased levels of development".

But City experts reckon the figures are in line with expectations, and with Tomb Raider: The Final Revelation due out next week, Eidos can expect better news next year.
