They are both selling faster than the Wii so all I see is a bunch of vague generalities not backed by data. Also, one of these days someone should come up with a good definition for "casual gamers". Are they defined by how much they buy? How much they play? The type of games they play? If...

As I mentioned in the Last of Us thread in Other Games: assume this movie will not be made until they start shooting. We're still waiting on Uncharted turned into a family of art dealers btw...

Seed watch: - Both Nadal and Murray lost their opening set (to Stepanek and Rosol respectively) but both managed to pull through. - Smooth sailing for Federer against Mathieu... until the swiss had to serve for the match and then he played three poor games in a row against a galvanized...

Why?

It might have depended of where you were... I kinda left computer gaming behind when the Amiga and Ataris ST faded in favor of PC, but during the 16-bit computer era everything was pirated and shared physically. There were many 'copy parties' and every gamer knew a guy who knew a guy (and 99% of...

I forgot the epitome of japanese muscular superhero: Muscle Man!Kinnikuman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It's a comedy manga / anime though.

My source:Tomb Raider finally beats profit expectations | GamesIndustry International But on the other hand, it seems that the definitive edition sold 'only' 300k units... that number probably does not account for digital download though.

It's The Penguin taking the picture.

So.... the short answer is that no writer got payed for this lame-ass pun: a lawyer was! This explains a lot....

It definitely counts toward square-enix's revenue (which, for this title, ended up being higher than initially forecast), but it probably affects the unit count also, though it is hard to know how much. What is credited as the key for the success of the title as far as units go was the creation...

About this decline of console games: the latest Tomb Raider is on track to become the most sold title in the serie...

Mahr-Vehl? Really? Are people paid for this lame-ass writing?

It should be mentioned that the dance games for Kinect are good party games, but that's not what we have in mind around these parts when we talk about video games. Same goes for the pet thing... Kinectimals?

It's fair to assume it will not happen until they start shooting. There are countless video game franchises that are optioned or bought or that even have screenplay drafts written yet remain forever in limbo. John Woo's pruction company owned the rights to Metroid at some point! Closer to the...

Back in the early '90s there was in my city little communities around video game import shops. There was a guy who had a Mega CD (japanese Sega CD) he was very proud of, but most of the games were garbage so we would always make fun of him "Dude, when are the good games coming for your console?"...

Not to make a manga derail, but in those the characters tend to have the age of the target readers, that's why you have a bazillion of them set in high schools. Everything that targets teenage girls or young women will have youthful and feminine male characters (a very popular sub genre is love...

To be fair, it is bigger than the ticket sales for movies, but still a lot smaller than tickets+disk media+streaming+tv rights. Also, the video game industry is impressive when it comes to money, but no so much when it comes to units compared to movie ticket sales (for instance, more people have...

Some see dead people. Me, I hear a Voyce.

Fun fact: The original Shaq Fu was helmed by Paul Cuisset, better known for being the driving force behind titles such as Future Wars, Cruise for a Corpse and Flashback! Sadly no game of his really stood out after this 89 to 92 grace period.

It feel you guys are grasping at straws to see ways for this show to become what you thought it would be instead of what it is. It's about a rag tag team of agents, it will not become about a rag tag team of super heroes.

Note you did not provide much data with your claim. The onus is on you!

About Tretton, I guess it makes sense from a career point of view: He does not really have a way to climb up the ladder any further at Sony, so he might as well leave on the back of a huge success to become the CEO of some other company with a bigger paycheck. That or he wants to travel the...

All this burrito talk makes me think of the immortal words of Alf: "I will not eat something that looks like it's been eaten once before"

I assume that was the big news? 18:00 CET is more than an hour away though.

When the game design is only there to identify marks and maximize their spending through obfuscated ways, is it still a video game or just an elaborate digital scam? This reminds me of a pair of long articles by Tim Rogers on the Sims Social, dissecting the multiple currency and social...

Fun F2P stat of the day (of the other day really): On mobile phones, 0.15% of F2P games players account for 50% of the revenue. When your earning report looks like the one of a spammer, it's time for some soul searching.

My first thought was... why is this not in Other Games?

The main problem with the reveal is that, from the perspective of someone who does not read comic books, it felt like I was not getting something I was supposed to get. That's a problem even if in the end even the comic books reader are not too sure of what it was supposed to be. My assumption...

I think it's commendable in its radicalism, but I feel the movie had two option to be satisfying: the first was to manage to surprise us and take us places we did not expect, the second was to stretch and stylize it and make it a sensorial, almost mystical experience (something like the lost at...

In all fairness, the Xbox One numbers would be deemed very good if not for the fact the PS4 numbers are stellar. I must say the thing that impresses me the most is the share of current gen sales for multi-gen titles. For a game like Call of Duty: Ghosts, almost 20% of the Xbox and Playstation...

It's difficult to weight this piece of news until we know why she left and what she will do next. All I know is that if I was in the movie business, animated or otherwise, I would be interested to hire her before she goes no another game company considering her mimicking Hollywoodian...

Indian Wells draw is out. Nadal, Wawrinka, Murray and Federer are in the top half, Djokovic, Berdych, Del Potro and Gasquet in the bottom half. Amusingly, Dimitrov and Gulbis are likely to face each other for a third time in a month. It's 1-1 for now.

Wait... if Lebron's 61 is better than Kobe's 81 because of efficiency, doesn't that mean that Durant's recent 54 is better than Lebron's 61? I mean he even made 6 assists!

Since it reeks of drab teen-lit, I suspect she is a janitor because she has not yet realized her inner greatness. She will first deny it and then embrace it to save the day and become a marvelous little autocrat. How inspiring!

I am pretty sure a single stat counts when it comes to points scored in a match, and that's not the number of assists. Last I heard 62>61. Also 62 > 'could have been 64 but ended up being 61.'

Almost as good as Carmelo Anthony!

The problem with the PS2 is that it launched in Japan something like 8 months before the US and Europe so a global sales comparison is a bit skewed. That said, I checked some articles wrote during that time and it seems supply was scarce after all three launches, so I guess the comparison could...

Time to reach 6 millions global: PS4: 3.5 months Wii: 4.5 months XB1: ~ 8 or 9 months (not there yet) X360: 12 months PS3: 12 months Wii U: ~16 months (not there yet)

I have a number of issues with 12 years a slave, but the fact we can hardly perceive the passing of time is not one. I would even argue that it serves both the discourse (his life is put on hold, in a stasis) and the ending of the movie. An ending that I found very powerfulbecauseof its...
