In Computer games this month they state that the temple of elemental evil will be made into a PC game by Infrograms.

Uh, weren't they the ones responsible for the Ruins of Myth Drannor computer game, which was really, really bad?

Any links or anything?

being the publisher of a bad game is much different than being the developer of a bad game. for example, interplay isn't anything but a suit organization while black isle/bioware actually produced NWN.

SSI, once a great RPG and wargame company was the developer of PoR2 (which i didn't buy, i heard enough about it from others). Alas, many of these companies have just sold their name and all the original programmers have left.

sid meier (of civilization fame) released stuff on microprose back when that company was cool, but then switched to (something that begins with f?) which is released under some other publishing company blah blah.

you've got to look into who exactly is involved, but the fact that the game is being made seems pretty cool at this stage

Sid Meier's working on/for/with Firaxis, whose games are being distributed by Infogrames (at least CivIII was).

Best,

You're thinking of Ubisoft. SSI published the game, Ubisoft designed it. Infogrammes now holds the title to release D&D PC games, whereas it used to be split up between SSI, Interplay, and Infogrammes.
