From last Tuesday, this has been the hottest rumor from the tech world and it is still Bubbling over. More to reality than mere speculation. Unconfirmed Reports (speculations :D) are flowing in all directions That google is attempting a Buyout ( rather say acquire) game maker VALVE .. 
Yes the Very same Company Which made Counterstrike and CS Source (the most played First person shooter ever ) and off course the famous Half life series.
Its also widely believed that the Internet search giant could also be eying Bellevue, Wash-based game maker in order to get its hands on the Steam content distribution technology.
If Google is indeed in talks to purchase Valve, it's part of the company's effort to take on Microsoft on all fronts. Google is currently offering bigger and better solutions , which a few years before ,Microsoft had the complete Market monopoly.
Also if Google is chasing Valve, it may not be for the game business alone -- more than likely,it's the content distribution technology. 
Valve Software runs a digital distribution platform, called Steam, which has an estimated 15 million active user accounts, and can be used for distribution of copyrighted content.The company uses this technology to distribute and manage more than 440 games over the Internet .
Both Google and Valve are Yet to make an Official Statement, regarding the rumour. Lets Wait and see if Google is going for a Full STEAM ahead :D
