Report Take-Two Acquires Irrational Games on Gamasutra is an unconfirmed report suggesting that Irrational Games has been acquired by Take-Two Interactive (thanks Frans). Here's a bit:

According to unconfirmed reports from employees of developer Irrational Games, the company has been acquired by U.S. publisher Take-Two Interactive. The two companies have already been working in close conjunction, with Take-Two registering the trademark for and agreeing to publish Irrational’s forthcoming game BioShock.

Update: We have been able to confirm this news with Take-Two, who say an official announcement is forthcoming.

I'd have to say T2 is one of the better publishers out there so there need not be any worry. As for Irrational, I don't recall them doing any game reviewed with a score lower than 9.0 on IGN. I've never anticipated a game like BioShock so much even without seeing any screenshots, so I have really high hopes for this game.
