Take-Two acquisition by EA imminentAs everyone expected, the merger between Vivendi Games and Activision that led to the birth of Activision-Blizzard, the new no.1 video game publisher in the world, didn't sit too well with, now second biggest publisher, EA Games. So they're thinking of solutions to get back in the top spot, and acquiring Take-Two Interactive seems to be their best bet. As much as I hate to see juggernauts like EA taking over ambitious, independent developers and publishers, this is the world we live in, no matter how good you are, if you don't have the financial means to compete you eventually have to accept the compromise of an acquisition. According to many this is the fate of Take-Two, creator and publisher of titles like: GTA, BioShock, Civilization, Manhunt, Midnight Club and many more. Mike Hackey, analyst for Janco Partners, spoke with GameDaily and said that having so many popular titles, many created in-house, is in fact what makes the company such a

People make commercial real estate negotiating a lot more difficult than it needs to be.First, you need to collect information. There are certain questions you will want to ask the seller early on, depending on the particulars of the property, such as:Why do you want to sell? The owner's reason for selling can give you a clue as to his or her needs or basic interests. Understanding the seller's motives can be a powerful negotiating tool.Has the property been recently appraised? A recent appraisal can be helpful in determining the After Repair Value (ARV) of the property.How long has the property been on the market? Knowing how long the property has been on the market could be an indication as to how willing the seller might be to lower the asking price.Is there existing financing? If so, what is the payoff? If there is a mortgage or other lien on the property, the balance required to pay it off will tell you the lowest price the seller can afford to accept.Have there been any structura
