Midway files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
The ailing economy has dealt a fatality to the house that Mortal Kombat built. Midway is now unable to pay all their debts, despite renegotiating that debt a mere month ago.
LA Times offers the following explanation of the situation, if you’re in to that sort of thing:
Sumner Redstone, chairman of CBS Corp. and Viacom Inc., sold his 87 percent stake in video-game maker Midway for $100,000 to investor Mark Thomas on Dec. 2 to help restructure debts that threaten his family business. Redstone’s National Amusements Inc. is owed $20.1 million, court papers show.
The 30 largest consolidated creditors without collateral backing their claims are owed a total of $256.2 million, court papers show. Wells Fargo Bank NA, as indenture trustee for noteholders, is listed as the largest unsecured creditor. The amount due under the notes is $150 million, according to court papers.

Minesweeper Flags now on Xbox Live ArcadeJust in case the Windows version of Minesweeper just wasn’t doing it for you, Minesweeper Flags is now available on the Xbox Live Arcade for 400 MS points ($5).
The game is, well, exactly like Minesweeper, except in 3D and somehow multiplayer. Unfortunately, it will be much harder to play this version at the office while your boss isn’t looking.
