The first month of the new year is over and it brought us Army of Two, Darksiders, and Mass Effect 2. NPD numbers have just been released, so what were the best selling video games and consoles in January?
On the hardware side, the Wii outsells all with 465K units sold. The year of the Playstation is not off to a good start. The PS3 was out sold...
In a move that's all about mass appeal, Square-Enix decided to throw some big bucks at the NBA (Nation Basketball Association) to sponsor this year's 2010 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. You may be telling yourself that the NBA market doesn't care about Final Fantasy XIII, but in my eyes this show Square-Enix's dedication to get things popping in Nort...
I have been writing about video games now for almost 2 years. When I started out there was not much to look at or grab inspiration from to start my journey. The Koalition is so diverse I searched long and hard for other organizations and outlets who shared the same make up. Not to my surprise, there weren't many. But there were key figures, key min...
There have been a couple of publishers doing their financial earnings call to investors, you know business stuff. But beyond money and confusing numbers, these calls at least give us a glimpse of what is planned in the year ahead of us.
Earlier today, Activision had their earnings call and reported some great financial numbers that the men in su...
Wired recently published an article revealing Microsoft's hesitance to deploy Xbox 360's for the troops, because they do not want to loose money. Microsoft was apparently skeptical about sending Xbox 360's to the troops because they figured that the troops would not buy games in an ongoing frequency, much like how a regular customer would. Therefor...
Congrats to Godfree and the GTR crew for throwing a successful Community Vibes 5 event. I even heard them say that they plan on doing one in New York.

Not even going to front. This Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time trailer really lifted my hype for this movie. I been sleeping on it since it's been announced. Actor Jake Gyllenhaal still a horrible choice for this role. But what can you expect from a Hollywood that made Tom Cruise the last samurai. Leave some thoughts and feedback on the trailer? Wil...
Mass Effect 2 has remained the UK's number one selling game, despite having heavy competition from Just Dance 2 and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Reports say that Mass Effect 2 managed to keep the top spot even while suffering a 64 percent drop. A mere 800 copies were separating Mass Effect 2 and Just Dance, so perhaps this could be Mass Effect 2...
Gamestop is among 22 online retailers that are accused of deceptive advertising practices buy luring customers to sign up for discount membership programs via its online store, according to the New York Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo.
This is another scheme that has been known in the retail industry for years but most people just looked at it ...
Fan may be an understatement quite honestly. Not really sure where I heard of this little bit first, but I took the quest to Sunny Anderson's personal blog to ask her if she really was into God Of War that much. And to my surprise (or not) she is! I even asked her what snacks she would suggest for us gamers. I'm getting tired of my friends eating a...
EA Sports President Peter Moore recently revealed in a interview with Bloomberg that a more simple version of Madden NFL would be coming out on Facebook. I don't expect this thing to look good at all, but it does peak my interest. This move is part of a growing trend of gaming on social networks, mainly Facebook. With Facebook having 175 million us...

The gloves are off for Mike Wang. Mike used to work for 2K Games with NBA 2K8 but then returned because he was not feeling EA Sports. In a interview with ESPN he let it be known that he was unhappy about his situation.

Xbox 360's gem has topped the UK charts in it's first week of release. Which is a great achievement considering in the UK it only just came out on Friday. Mass Effect 2 shot past Just Dance and Modern Warfare 2 to claim it's spot at the top. The game has sold almost double what the first game sold already, even the PC version has topped the first g...
