Commentary:
Troubled games developer and publisher Empire Interactive sparked up 0.5p to 4p after it signed the global publishing rights to Sony Pictures' potential summer blockbuster Bad Boys II via a licence from Sony Pictures Consumer Products. Empire Interactive now has the rights to produce titles based on the lucrative Bad Boys franchise across all the console and PC formats, and the first game is being developed to coincide with a Christmas DVD launch. Investors should not underestimate the potential popularity of the Will Smith / Martin Lawrence vehicle set for release this summer - the film has already had a major marketing kick across the pond including a 'teaser spot' during the recent Superbowl, one of the most crucial advertising events in the States. Last month, a shock profits warning hit the shares, which have fallen from a 52-week peak of 51.5p. Chief executive Ian Higgins warned of wider than forecast losses for the year to December 2002, due to licensing agreement delays with Japanese and Far Eastern publishers of its catalogue of titles, and fourth quarter sales disappointed. Before the warning, house broker Altium Capital expected 800,000 of pre-tax losses for the year, with a narrow profit pencilled in for 2003. Higgins insisted 2002 sales more than doubled and the group had net cash of 2m and a 1m overdraft facility at 31 December.

Well spread has narrowed and now looking more attractive.

('Empire' or the 'Group')


New North American Publishing Agreement with 2K Games


Empire, a leading developer and publisher of computer games, today announced
that it has signed an agreement with 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two
Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) to distribute Ford Racing 3 for the
PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system, Xbox(R) video game system from
Microsoft, and PC across North America.


Take-Two previously distributed the first two titles in the Ford Racing series
on behalf of Empire, which to date have sold over one million units in North
America.


Ian Higgins, CEO of Empire commented, 'We have enjoyed great success working
with Take-Two on the Ford Racing Franchise and therefore are delighted to
continue with them on this new instalment.'


Ford Racing 3 features 55 beautifully detailed Ford automobiles, including Ford
GTs, Thunderbirds, concept and SVT vehicles, Mustangs and trucks; 26 detailed
tracks with interactive scenery; 11 different race types and support for online
play on Xbox Live; LAN play for PC and head-to-head split screen on PS2 and
Xbox.

It's a risky one, but with a 2006 PE forecast of 4, I have jumped into this one!

It has been down by quite a bit recently. The company have stated that that is due to one large seller. The chart seems to be turning a corner now though.

Great day today and I reckon we have more to come.

Another nice rise today. Did you notice how they dropped the bid and offer for no reason. It looks to me that they are after stock either to fill and order or because the are short. Hold on if you hold. Buy more if you can.

Anyway day finished with a nice 60K buy

So will they move this rapidly tomorrow or stagnate it ? Let's see.

i haVe a few of these went up friday on chance of takeoVer,they seem to be winning orders,not sure where the price could go, hoping for around 9p. any thoughts?
