Alex - How do you view this recent development at Activision. Could this be the reason the stock is trailing off (even breaking 14 at one point today)or do you subscribe to the "house-cleaning" explantion in preparation for an acquisition or merger? I am already holding a decent position from 15 and was considering $ cost averaging but I am unsure how to react to this news. I'll toss it to the rest of the panel - are people still relatively bullish on ATVI going into Christmas or should I cut my losses? What do you think about MWY? Brett

Alex, I have played the Uprising demo and the graphics are to put it simply...incredible. My favorite part is running over enemy soldiers. My only beef is that the controls are hard as heck to manage. I was showing the demo to a friend and it was actually a lot of fun to split targeting and navigation between the two of us. I hope it's doing well for THDO ;) From what I've played of ZGI so far, I can tell you honestly that it's a definite step up from Zork Nemesis, though I thought ZN was an amazing game when I originally played it. It's true what other people said about MYST and Nemesis...there IS a strong feeling of loneliness which on the other hand lends itself to the eerie atmosphere of both games. In ZGI, the Dungeon Keeper in the lamp is sort of like traveling with a friend...and breaks that loneliness feeling. I only hope that they keep that in mind with the next two planned sequels of the game. Definitely get a hold of ZGI from your friend. I knew I'd love it and so far at least, I think it's GREAT :) I'm tempted to buy RIVEN...but not just yet! I'm still holding a grudge that it's keeping ZGI in its shadow! Tom C.
