Videogame publisher Take-Two Interactive has one of this year's biggest games - Grand Theft Auto IV - coming out this April. But a more compelling meta-game is already underway as the industry's largest publisher, Electronic Arts, vies to buy the company. Word has it that EA's bid $2 billion for Take-Two, but was turned down. A hostile takeover may be next.
Take-Two, of course, has been at the heart of some of the most notorious controversies in game history - mainly centered around the GTA franchise. But the publisher has recently gained critical attention for its surprise hit, BioShock. How would T2's fare change - if at all - under EA's roof? Maybe we'd see a tighter-run ship and the jettisoning of sensational but dull franchises like Manhunt.
