History Is Cool!: This Day in Gaming, June 20th

1997: GT Interactive releases Blood for PC in the US. At least they were upfront about it. Parents can't complain about the content on that one...though "Grand Theft Auto" is fairly upfront about its content as well.
1997: Square Co. releases Final Fantasy Tactics for PS in Japan. Final Fantasy fans—do your thing.
2006: Microsoft announces that half-billion games of Halo 2 have been played on Xbox Live. With around 7.4 million copies sold at the time, that means the average owner played over 100 matches online. And that's a moderate success. Too bad I don't enjoy Halo's multiplayer. Mark Wilson
