In a move that will surprise many given recent events, a resurgent GAME are eyeing the potential purchase of assets from fellow High Street retailer HMV.

HMV recently confirmed that they were preparing to go into administration, and following a strong Christmas, GAME are looking to take advantage and pick up stores in towns where they don't currently have a presence.

GAME chief executive Martyn Gibbs told The Financial Times: "We will constantly review our property portfolio based on what is available. I would not rule out any stores that are becoming available, be that through an administration or normal property deals."
