Group Reports
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CLASS edged  out PARADIGM for  the #1 spot, but  just on points.  They had  11
games released, but the  quality of the games was a bit better and  the amount
of patches/trainers  helped as well.  The top  spot could be up for grabs next
month, but we will all have to wait for the smoke to clear.

PARADIGM was back in  a big way this month.  They seemed to be  motivated by a
few insults from  RAZOR and really stuck it to them tying  CLASS with 11 games
this  month.  However, they  did  seem to  sacrafice  their  normal  "quality"
standards a  bit with their release of Might & Magic IV which had no sound and
required multiple  fixes.  Expect another  strong performance  from them  next
month.

RAZOR  1911 started the month  out in a big way with Starcraft  but required 2
level fixes.  Their  UK domination came to an  abrupt end  with the  return of
HYBRID and will  spell trouble for them next month.  They will probably end up
in the same position in May as they did this month.

HYBRID decided to show up  as predicted and really did some damage, especially
to RAZOR  who would normally have  had a couple of  those UK releases.  HYBRID
once again proved they own the UK.  Expect the same from them next month.

BACKLASH slipped  a bit, releasing just  1 title  this month.  Yet nothing  is
expected of them, this  is still a good performance.  Should do about the same
next month if not a bit better.

DIVINE was  anything but impressive this  month, releasing a dupe  and a beta.  
Combine that  with just 1 legit  release and  you have  a problem.  They  will 
either rebound or sink deeper this next month.
