Alex, No kidding! This market is surely a mess! I haven't looked at Interplay. Don't really know what they are doing....can you fill me in? SIN has been getting a lot of good feedback. Extra points on realism. :) Take it easy, Alex! V8 is still going strong. It's actually moving up in the PSX sales ranks! Tom

News from ogr@ogr.com Activision (NASDAQ:ATVI) shares jumped up around 10% so far today, after id Software announced that Activision will be distributing the upcoming QuakeIII. As of 3:35 (25 minutes prior to the stock market close), Activision was trading at 12 1/4, up 1 1/8 for the day. As Quake II was perhaps Activision's most popular title to date, it's no wonder that stockholders are excited about the third title in the series. [3:40 PM ET] UPDATE: Activision's sudden jump in share price today may not only be attributable to the official announcement of Quake 3, but also to the announcement by Infogrames, a European computer gaming publisher, that Activision is a potential takeover target. Activision is mentioned in a Bloomberg news story about Infogrames seeking a US company to partner with or to buy out. [5:10 PM ET] Cheers Bill
