We are happy with the response to our first front-line next generation game, Stranglehold, and believe that it has provided a solid foundation to build our standardized toolset for all of our next generation titles,” said David F. Zucker, president and chief executive officer. “Additionally, our commitment to our expanded direct presence in Europe has been validated with strong results for Stranglehold throughout the territory.
