This is a good price to get on a video games firm that has shown durability AND innovation. Moreover, it has some of the strongest brands in the business, which gives it staying power even as next generation consoles are invented.

This one's a no-brainer.

Besides their tried and true franchises that continue to make money (Madden, SimCity, The Sims, Need for Speed, among others) it has a great slate of games coming up. First up is easily a 2008 Game of the Year candidate and ...
