July 3, 2012 Update: X-Com: Enemy Unkown was a stand-out at E3 and Borderlands 2 and NBA 2K13 looked good, but, overall, not a brilliant E3 for Take Two. No reason to bump him up the way we did the bosses y1 com games at Square-Enix and Ubisoft. https://kotaku.com/even-the-cross-section-of-x-com-enemy-unknown-looks-gr-5915158 May 30, 2012 Update: Strauss moves down 3 positions, mainly because others have leapt over him. Feb 20, 2012 Update: Max Payne 3‘s delay from March to May reduced the odds of the game’s developers at Rockstar getting Grand Theft Auto V out for Take Two this year.

Take Two’s deep bench of hit makers also includes Sid Meier’s Civilization (and X-Com) crew at Firaxis.
