Racing: The latest in the best-selling series faces more competition from NASCAR licensed games, but it has a great reputation with hardcore garners. Action: This first-person shooter should sell beyond its niche hardcore gaming audience thanks to Clive Barker's active involvement. Strategy: This game should appeal to core Trekkies and old-school strategy fans, but the license won't attract casual gainers due to the game's complexities. Adventure: Based on a French cartoon this quirky point-and-click PC-style adventure isn't likely to sell or rent very well on DC or PC. Adventure: This PS2 version of the solid-selling DC game faces no adventure/ horror competition on PS2. Solid marketing will help. Action: This popular license has spawned three home videos and a TV series. Sony will back the game with solid marketing. Racing: This little racer enters a crowded PC genre with little marketing and huge brand-name awareness. It should be a moderate seller at best. Action: This version of the best-selling PC game offers military strategy and action. Great brand and solid marketing support Racing: This racer features the Antz from the film. EA's brand name and recognizable characters should make this a good impulse buy.
