According to VG247, Warner Bros. is close to buying out Codemasters, the publisher behind games such as Overlord, Fuel, and Operation Flashpoint.

This wouldn't be too much of a surprise as Warner Bros. has made it very clear that they plan on entering the video game market. Just last month Warner Bros. made a $33 million bid for Midway Games, and they supposedly bid against Square Enix to acquire Eidos.
