I noticed that the game supports play over the internet at mplayer.com which tells me that THQI sees the value of internet gaming ala Blizzard with StarCraft and Diablo. Also, there are many people who love to play these style of games instead of shoot em up, RPG, or some other flight simulator. I expect this game to suprise many, and sell more than is expected. At $39.95, it may not appeal to the teenagers, but it's my guess it well sell well enough in the 20 plus crowd. Internet gaming is becoming very big, and it should hopefully already be a part of THQI's plans for the future. I've played StarCraft on Battle.Net and it absolutely ROCKS (this is fun stuff). If people get into the mode of playing games over the internet, we've made a good choice in THQI, since recent acquisitions revolve around this segment continuing to expand. Regards, JB
