Even in the face of rising usage and the launch of several explosive franchises, the video game sector has been completely uninspiring since the financial collapse. Thanks to throngs of paralyzed consumers sitting on their wallets and the negative effects of a fairly predictable cyclical downturn, stocks in the industry have gone limp against the overall market.

  3. The turnaround story: Take-Two Interactive (Nasdaq: TTWO)
