Eragon is based on the upcoming Eragon movie and the popular fantasy novel. This is an adventure game in a fantasy world that features aerial combat on dragons. The player takes the role of Eragon, the hero in the film and novel. Some levels will have Eragon fighting on foot in hand-to-hand combat. In other levels, Eragon will be flying on the back of Saphira, his dragon. Over the course of the game, Saphira will mature and gain additional abilities. The game is heavily combat-based, but also features stealth and puzzle gameplay. The game is largely the same on the PC, Xbox, and PS2.
Also see Eragon (Xbox 360), Eragon (PS2), and Eragon (PC).

4.4/10: Eragon relies entirely on tedious, unenthusiastic gameplay that's way too shallow to sustain interest for more than a few minutes.

3@kspraydad, That could be possible, but then something like the Red Steel incident could happen again. A surprise twist in stock prices that could no longer be evaluated if closed out. The idea is sufficient in its basis in 'wisdom of the crowd', but your idea does work well for your desired stock (no trading for 6 months) trading.
The system you have proposed could be tweaked, maybe the top 250 would be more appropriate. I don't know.[ Elite ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 286 ]bids
1@Powertrade,
So there is a disincentive to try and find old/forgotten games if you don't already have a source of sales figures in your pocket...otherwise you are at the mercy of someone, sometime finding a figure.
In a real market place would the market maker (ie the brokerage house) not have some ability to dictate a fair price rather than just offering the last price traded at (which is approx what the market maker is doing?) The market maker would bring together its 'experts' to determine a fair price.
Perhaps we could have a shareholder vote (say limited to the top 500 players) to determine a cashout value with a limitation that the max payout would be no more than X% away from the DKP at the time the vote was called for? This would be for any stock that has had no trading for say 6mos or so.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 475 ]bids
1@kspraydad, The idea of the stocks has always been they will eventually stagnate and the market maker will provide liquidity for you to cash out by selling your long position or buying back your short position. There's no way to cash it out because we don't know the true world value--that is why the stocks are interesting in that they are supposed to provide a better approximation than we have otherwise.
This does lead to some complications, which is why I think there has been a push for more contracts that expire, such as the individual game futures that have been brought back. So far, closing out my stock positions has work for me.[ Guru ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 219 ]bids
1Last we heard from this game it was at 27,000 units in Dec 2006....
At what point does SE drop a listing and how do we determine its cash out value? Lack of trading and thus the price being stable does not seem like a fair cash out price if the price is stable do to lack of interest in the title and difficulty getting numbers for it.
I'm short on this title and want a fair cash out!

Make it a year then...whatever. But the Market Maker, I'd think, has to have some mechanism for human intervention in situations like this.
SE hasn't had to deal with it but project 2,3 years down the road and there will be all these dead stocks laying around that don't REALLY have a final price.
This is goint to happen alot with PSP games for instance (which I spend ample funds shorting and gaining I may add :) ) as SE is attracting traders that are sticking to the big names rather than seeking true values for each stock and reporting on PSP games disappears fairly quickly as most of the games are low volume (relatively).
