Criminal action video game "Grand Theft Auto 4" won near-perfect praise in early reviews Monday, boosting the shares of publisher Take-Two Interactive Software Inc as much as 3.4 percent ahead of the game's midnight launch.
The accolades lavished on "Grand Theft Auto 4," long expected to be the best-selling game of 2008, pushed Take-Two shares as high as $27.10, more than a dollar higher than the $25.74 per share offered for the company by rival Electronic Arts Inc.
