The wait is finally over for Electronic Arts -- at least as far as the Fedral Trade Commission is concerned. A couple of months ago, EA made an agreement with the FTC stating that they will hold out on buying Take-Two until one of these two things happen: a) FTC finishes its investigation on the takeover bid, or b) 45 days pass after EA complies with an information request from FTC.

Well it looks like it's scenario A that happened as the Federal Trade Commission has now given EA the green light on their proposal for the Take-Two acquisition. The conclusion of the non-public investigation, which was to determine whether EA's acquisition of T2 may violoate Section 7 of the Clayton Act or Section 5 of the FTC Act, was that the potential merger would not substantially lessen competition in the games market.

A letter sent by the FTC to both companies involved read, "Upon further review of this matter, it now appears that no additional action by the Commission is warranted at this time. Accordingly, the investigation has been closed."

Talks are still going on between the two companies, but it does look like it's about to come to a close. What's keeping the debate raging on is the issue on the appropriate per-share asking price. With this FTC development, it looks like Pachter sure is a step closer to proving his prediction true: EA will win out this round.

Picture is a simple homebrew game from Mathfacts. Essentially, it's a Spot-the-Difference game with a more modern implementation on the PSP. Pretty cool, actually.

In a given picture there are eight differences hidden. Now after studying the picture well, press the square key and the modified picture will come out. There'll be a red square that you can move around for you to focus on the differences. Just press X to highlight the difference, and it will be marked by a yellow square.

If you want to review the original picture, you can switch back to it using the square key again. To see how many items you got correct, press the triangle button. For the rest of the controls, right bumper functions as control for background music, and the circle button allows you to skip to the next picture.

This homebrew contains six pictures, which can provide you about one to two hours of play, "depending on how sharp you are." Mathfacts also invites you guys to make your own pictures so he can play the game as well. Obviously, as he's the one who created the homebrew, he knows what the answers are to the puzzle so it's just not fun.

Nintendo has slowly been on the rise these past couple of weeks, based on the latest numbers sent in by the Media Create analyst group in Japan. The DS handheld once again took the top spot in the hardware charts, along with its respective software title Rhythm Tengoku Gold (known as Rhythm Heaven in North America).

Many other DS games jumped up several notches and have made a comeback on the top 10 software titles list. Among these include Daigasso! Band Brothers DX, which leaped up seven places, and Meccha! Taiko no Tatsujin DS, back in eighth place after spending last week in the 22nd slot.

On the hardware side of things, the DS has slowly increased its lead from the PlayStation Portable, now with a comfortable headway of a little more than 12,000 units over its rival handheld. Xbox 360 sales dropped back down to last place due to a significant shortage of units available in the country.
