As far as better value in the gaming sector is concerned, take a look @ GTIS. GTIS is trading around @ 9x FY99 eps estimates, 1.8x book value, and has little debt (just 7.65% of assets.) AKLM is trading 17.25x FY99 eps estimates, has a book value of -.10 (according to Bloomberg) and has significantly more debt (34.4% of assets!!!

Acclaim has definately gotten back on the right track. Turok2 has set a new standard in the console-based action/adventure games and their baseball and football games have become serious threats to EA Sports. However, GTIS has a catalog of hits as well such as the Doom and Duke Nukem lines as well as a lesser priced line geared towards the outdoorsman (including Deerhunter.) The highly anticipated Driver and Unreal2 should be released in the next few months and both are expected to be enormous hits.

From a value perspective GTIS is a much better play!!!
