Two gaming giants have come head-to-head with Take-Two Interactive acquiring the mobile giant Zynga for $12.7 million.

Take-Two Interactive is already a giant within the gaming community, boasting studios like Rockstar Games and 2K games in its portfolio. Now, it has acquired a mobile gaming giant, one that practically pioneered the free-to-play gaming model. It’s not just Farmville that Rockstar is getting.
