http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/01/500x_custom_1263000004813_7317.irrationallogo.jpgS o 2K Boston have reverted to their original name, Irrational Games (http://kotaku.com/5444167/2k-boston-formerly-irrational-games-now-irrational-games-formerly-2k-boston). Good news for nostalgic PC fans. But what of the fate of the "other half" of Irrational, 2K Australia (http://kotaku.com/tag/2kaustralia/)?
After all, the Canberra-based developers were once Irrational's second studio, shared the same name (before being renamed "2K Australia"), and worked alongside Ken Levine's Boston team on some titles (such as BioShock) while developing other games like Tribes: Vengeance all on their own.
But there's to be no happy reunion (if only by name), as 2K Australia reps have told Kotaku that there are currently "no plans" for a name change in Canberra, and that it'll still be known as, well, 2K Australia.
Shame.
