This is yet another life for Cinemaware, a game company that did well during 80’s and closed down 1991. Lars Fuhrken-Batista bought Cinemaware assets and restarted the company in 2000, now he is selling present Cinemaware assets to eGames.

Electronic Arts settles overtime dispute

Electronic Arts buried the hatchet and agreed to pay 15,6 million dollars in overtime dispute with workers. Furthermore company agreed to change terms for entry-level artists so that they are also eligible for overtime pay.
