In a PR stunt reminiscent of the ill-fated antics of Acclaim Entertainment (Burnout 2 traffic violations, Turok Evolution baby-naming, etc.) the UK’s leading publisher Eidos has launched a campaign that it hopes will see workers around the country given time off to play Angel of Darkness this Friday.
Given that July 4 is American Independence Day, it might seem a little ambitious, though Eidos is seemingly as confident as ever.
Indeed, if you get your boss to email the firm via the takelaratoworkday.com website, you might just get a PlayStation 2 pod to play on, as well as a seminar outlining just how videogames “could help create a progressive work environment and increase your productivity.”
Oh yeah!
