Five million  units sales target? That should be easy-peasy, right? If you're Take-Two and you're marketing BioShock 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC), that is. And five million it is indeed, according to T2 Chairman Strauss Zelnick.

It's not exactly a firm release date yet, but the release window for Gearbox Software's upcoming sci-fi shooter-RPG Borderlands has been narrowed down.

Love him or hate him, it can't be denied that Kobe Bryant is one of the best players ever to pick up a basketball. As KB24 eyes his fourth championship ring and taking Game 1 of this year's Finals with a convincing 40-point performance and a game-high 8 assists, the superstar will be on the cover of 2K Sports' NBA 2K10.

Little Sister's a fighter! In this new batch of screenshots for Take-Two Interactive's sequel of the underwater saga in BioShock 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC), we see here a lot of gun-toting action.

Trusty ol' Twitter, giving us news where we'd otherwise have none. If you've been following the Prison Break star, Wentworth Miller, then you might already know by now that the guy just dropped a hint about his new project. In one word: BioShock.

Joystiq is reporting that there will be a BioShock novel, thanks to the collaboration of Take-Two Interactive and sci-fi/ fantaasy publisher Tor. According to their scoop, the novel will consist of 400 pages, and will come out in both hard and softcovers.

3D Realms is now denying that they received an offer from Take-Two Interactive for the IP of Duke Nukem Forever. Rumors swirled last week that US$ 30 million was put on the table, but the devs are saying that these are all just that - rumors.

Not so fast. Konami may have withdrawn their publisher's support for Six Days in Fallujah, but that doesn't mean the game's completely canned just yet. Atomic Games is still committed to finish developing their game: it's all just a matter of finding a new publisher. Which leaves us asking... who's going to pick it up now?

Looks like the BioShock movie is turning out to be a totally high-budget one - or over-the-budget, as it turns out. Universal Pictures has stepped on the brakes on the production of the said movie adaptation of Take-Two Interactive's best-selling game, as the company tries to reach an agreement with director Gore Verbinski for a more reasonable budget.

Take-Two Interactive, still hot in talks with Electronic Arts (supposedly) over their merger, has sent in its financial statement for the previous fiscal quarter. The report reveals their line-up of games for the next (fiscal) year. Details in the full article.
