These games look incredible, not one dud in the bunch.

Next quarter looks like it could be very profitable indeed if MPRS sticks to their release schedule. Internet MTG, M1A1 Tank Platoon and Ultimate@Race Pro all have very nice sales potential.

I've already discussed the prospects of MTG in another post but these other two titles are not to be overlooked. M1A1 Tank Platoon has no competition, a large loyal following of fans in this genre and graphics with no equal from the pictures I saw at E3.

Ultimate@Race Pro is going to be the first arcade style 16 player internet racing game with top notch graphics and a mix between Sega Daytona style racing and Sony's Destruction Derby. Another game with no real competition again due to it's unique focus on arcade action and internet play. Sega's Daytona is the most popular arcade racer of all time due to it's multiplayer smash 'em up style racing and this looks like it could take this position in the PC world for awhile. The PC has needed a good Daytona like racing game and Sega's PC translation never did measure up.

This is what I like about the majority of the MPRS line-up. Most of the games they create and publish are original. All three of the aforementioned games have no competition to my knowledge and are all set for next quarter. Next quarter looks like it's going to be the big quarter for MPRS. It's really too bad they got messed up with the GTIS deal. The stock's really taking a beating but I guess we're all just going to have to hold on a little longer.... the long term prospects are still very bright indeed.
