The beautiful game
Video games giant Electronic Arts has snapped up the UK games developer Criterion Software.
It gives EA control over a technology called RenderWare, which is widely used by its competitors to help make games.
But it has said that it plans to continue to license the RenderWare tools to other developers.
The purchase comes at a time when the games industry is gearing up for the expensive task of making games for the next generation of consoles.
Among the games that have used RenderWare are Grand Theft Auto III, Call of Duty and Pro Evolution Soccer.
