Interplay Entertainment has announced that it is in the advanced stages of negotiations with a potential buyer of Shiny Entertainment, the development studio that created Sacrifice, Messiah, and MDK and is currently developing The Matrix for the Microsoft Xbox. The sale is intended to help fund Interplay's future growth. Company representatives confirmed that the sale of Shiny would include all games in development at the studio, including The Matrix.

Now for the buyers, leader id say is Microsoft who would love to make the Matrix game a 'Xbox only' title, seeing this we might also see Sony make a bid or even some of the other big companies.

What do you think? personally i reckon Shiny will be part of Microsoft very soon opinions, thanks for reading by the way.

finally for those monkey lovers amoung us a list of games with monkey in the title:
Escape from Monkey Island
Super Monkey Ball
Curse of Monkey Island
Monkey Brains
Monkey Hero
Sea-Monkeys... any more? post em

Mr. Monkeyman likes Precision Jumping 64 II: The Pre-Greased Marmoset

A twisting, writhing beast of a game.
