Aurally, there wasn't much to write home about during the 8-bit home computer era. Games burped and belched to accompany in-game action and that was about it. Early ZX Spectrum attempts at music were painful, and, when amplified using the EAR lead, sent pets running for cover. Early attempts on the C64 didn't do much better.

Last week Electronic Arts made public an audacious bid to acquire Take-Two Interactive, which had been rejected. The move came several months after the announcement that Bioware and Pandemic would be acquired by EA. The publisher's CEO, John Riccitiello, is certainly ringing in the changes. Here, former GamesIndustry.biz editor Rob Fahey considers what we're seeing and what it means for the company that many gamers love to hate.

Given Eurogamer's existing penchants for dressing eclectically, charging into packed rooms waving sticks, and babbling incomprehensibly in the pursuit of justice for our people, it's a wonder it's only Dave McCarthy who bangs the war-drum for Dynasty Warriors, and yet so it is. Flail your sticks at Koei's crowds of ancient foreigners long enough, he says, and you will appreciate the macro-micro mix of tactics and precision-violence that go into being any good at it.

It doesn't pay to be complacent, as PES can well testify. After gaining an unassailable lead over the years, it never reckoned on its rival, FIFA, mounting a strong counter-offence and streaking down the left wing in a determined effort to equalise.

As Game director Gaute Godager puts it: "Hyboria is a vicious cake, covered in layers of dark culture."

How hard is it to create a decent top-down shooter? I only ask because once upon a time it seemed quite easy - we gleefully played along with Zombies Ate My Neighbours and Alien Breed, never suspecting that they would still represent the apex of their genre some fifteen years later. Monster Madness tried - and spectacularly failed - to cash in on our goodwill for Zombies, and now here's a sci-fi themed spin on the same formula that could, if you squint a bit, be an attempt to replace Alien Breed in our affections.
