There seems to be an impression amongst people that Dead Space under-performed. That such a fantastic game deserved “better” sales. I don’t know. 1.4 million copies sold sounds pretty good to me. The figure was disclosed by EA Redwood Shores’ Visceral’s Glen Schofield in an interview with GameSpot, and when you consider EA’s other “under-performing”…
They do! While the NPD charts are, grimly, business as usual, the Steam and Direct2Drive charts are a mess, courtesy of some weekend sales. HAWX? Assassin’s Creed? Far Cry 2? Great for the publishers and those gamers picking up some older games on the cheap, but for the hardcore PC sales charts enthusiast, it just…
X-rays of consoles and controllers are neat and all, but for those after something a little more 21st-century, why not take a look at a controller and console run through a medical CT scanner. These game-related examples are just two of the items artist (and medical student) Satre Stuelke was able to pass through a…
There’s long been a complaint that, aside from a select few strategy titles, gamers are never given the chance to play as the Germans in a Second World War game. For better or worse. But the upcoming sequel to Red Orchestra – Heroes of Stalingrad – will let you do just that. Developers Tripwire say…
Introducing SceneSet, the movie-making add-on for PlayStation Home that will finally allow users to create something exciting within the service. A small dev team by the name of Loot will be releasing the program later this month, and it will allow users to create short machinima videos using Home’s assets. Locations, characters and items, you…
David Tong over at TheStreet (so, no, not some guy’s blog) notes that, over the past few days, there’s been a bit of chatter from financial types surrounding Apple taking over Electronic Arts. Wait, what? Adami noted that there is chatter that Apple (AAPL Quote) is eyeing Electronic Arts(ERTS Quote) as a takeover target. Nuts.…
As you’ll see from the “Destination PlayStation” (ie a retailer-only event) title card, this isn’t an official consumer trailer. Doesn’t mean you can’t watch it, though. The trailer comes courtesy of MSN Games Brazil, who say they obtained it via a source at Ubisoft. It shows just how different the sequel is to the first…
Having first been teased on the magazine’s website, the issues of Nintendo Power blowing the lid off Red Steel 2 have begun hitting mailboxes. So what’s inside? Not much! Most notable of the limited news on-hand is that the game won’t feature any multiplayer, with the developers choosing to focus on getting the singleplayer experience…
We’ve quietly been fans of Tripwire’s Red Orchestra mods/games for years now. But three years on from the release of Ostfront 41-45, the game is showing its age. Time, then, for a sequel! Ahead of a cover-blowing announcement in this month’s PC Gamer – which appears to have caught the devs off-guard – Tripwire have…
Not a headline you’d expect to read first thing on a Monday, granted, but it’s true: Nintendo’s lawyers have made a small dental surgery in Malmö, Sweden, change its name. Why? The surgery is called “Wii Smile”. And while one of the two partners running the joint, Christer Wihlborg, says the name came about because…
J Allard has, tragically, been in hiding for some time now. And still is! But his name, at least, has come out of hiding. We’re glad. And so, so glad that when it did resurface, it was to share the limelight with some illustrious company! Yes, the former Xbox pin-up boy, who played a big…
While we’re appreciative of the new weapons, how different can “protecting the oracle” and “defending the priest” really be? Video Games – Cheat Codes – Video Game Trailers
Never mind that The9 have lost the contract to run World of Warcraft in China to a rival firm. They’re going to compensate by releasing a new game! Which…looks a lot like World of Warcraft. And sounds a lot like World of Warcraft, as the game’s name is World of Fight. Oh, and the game’s…
In case you couldn’t tell from the creepy kid and the gurgling noises, this is the Wii game being overseen by the director of Japanese horror flick “The Grudge”. It’s called “Feel”, and is actually based loosely on the movie. But despite how great the original film was (and how…strange the “American” remake was), that’s…
Earlier this week, EA’s life creator Spore passed a hefty milestone, with the game’s Sporepedia registering its one hundred millionth creation. According to the Spore fanatics at Spore Illustrated, the mark was reached around 5:10pm EST yesterday, April 30. And while it’s an impressive feat, we can’t help but wonder how many more there’d be…
While GameStop are the most high-profile specialist games retailer, games are sold in a lot of other places. Department stores. Electronics stores. Online. Convenient stores, even. So how big is GameStop’s share of the market? Well, according to some research done by Gamasutra, in the United States the chain controls 21% of the games market…
Sometime in “early May”, developers Relic will be releasing a major new update for their RTS/RPG hybrid Dawn of War II, which will introduce a range of new features for the game. These include an all-new multiplayer mode (2v2), two new maps to support this mode, improved skirmish AI, push-to-talk voice chat, new “squad decorators”…
Zeno Clash has been out for a few weeks now, but only today has a demo for the indie first-person brawler been made available over Steam. Why don’t you go try it out! It’s certainly…different. Despite admiring the game’s unique look, I didn’t like it much, but hey, plenty of people do, and that’s what…
