For the 3rd quarter of 2008 the operating result showed a loss of $2.8 million compared with a profit of $0.5 million in the 3rd quarter of 2007.

These games include titles such as Sudoku Ball(TM) Detective, Vertigo(R), Pool Hall Pro(R), and Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships(R) on Wii, DS and PC platforms.
