- Guild Wars Reaches 6 Million Units Sold
- Texas Trying to Entice Game Developers
We’re also taking a flashback peak at Return to Pirate Island and a bit of history on Scott Adams, the interactive fiction game developer (not the Dilbert guy).

- Rumor: Resident Evil 8 is first-person, takes “serious departures”, and will be out next year
