Ah, Epic: the town bicycle. Microsoft wants to buy them, EA wants to milk them, and Yahtzee wants to make sweet love to them. Well, with People Can Fly, anyway. Shurikens and lightning!

Anyway, Epic has signed on with EA to deliver some delicious new original IP via their sub-studio People Can Fly. With Gears of War providing a constant cash flow and the talented team behind Painkiller, I’m pretty sure EA has acquired itself a goose that lays golden eggs. I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ve got in store.
