2K Boston changes its name back to Irrational Games photo

2K Boston? Fughedaboutit. The studio formerly known as Irrational Games is now once again Irrational Games.

Game Informer reports that the studio discovered that its original name carried weight with people, registered on some weird level. So, with new (old) logo and Web site in tow, the studio is now set to do something with that knowledge that benefits fans.

We should note that the February issue of Game Informer will have an article that explores the history of Irrational Games -- something we’re sure all of you System Shock 2 zealots should be able to get behind.

So, they change their name to 2K, release probably their most successful game, and then change their name back to Irrational?

I've always thought Irrational was a better name, but seriously wtf?

That's a pretty rational logo for someone named Irrational.

EA owns the System Shock rights, that's why they made Bioshock.

Hopefully this means they plan to go back to making good games again too. OK, so maybe not so much Tribes Vengeance. But SS2 and SWAT 4 are both better than Bioshock =X.
