Just as I’ve promised yesterday, this first week of 2009 is the week of stats and lists and Capcom is the first company we’re going to talk about. Actually, we’re going to talk more about their impressive 2009 games lineup for the first half of the year. Because they do have a few titles to [...]

Activision won the last week of 2008, at least sales-wise, with Call of Duty: World at War grabbing the first spot according to Chart Track reports. Activison’s game has been a constant No. 1 during the past weeks, being defeated only by FIFA 09 in the race for Christmas number 1. I’m sure they won’t [...]

Although he clearly lost the war, disbarred attorney Jack Thompson won’t quit attacking the video games industry and especially his “friends” over at Take Two Interactive. His latest desire is to lead a Take Two shareholders revolt against Strauss Zelnick, T2’s CEO – of course, there are no signs of such a “revolt” being planned [...]

Finally, that magical time of the year is here, Christmas is coming and I will take a little break from writing in order to celebrate the holidays together with my family. But I’ll have you all in my heart and I’ll certainly miss offering you the latest and most interesting news in the gaming world. [...]

For the past five weeks Activision’s Call of Duty: World at War was the bestselling game in the UK and we were all expecting to see it grab the Christmas number one spot as well, but the shooter was defeated by EA’s FIFA 09. Except for that, Need For Speed Undercover jumped at four, so [...]

With Christmas just a couple of days away, we were not expecting any big announcements regarding extra downloadable content for Activision’s Guitar Hero. But this does not mean we’re not getting them – huge amounts of high quality music for our New Year’s needs.
So, right before Christmas, we’ll get a first batch of Guitar Hero [...]

We’re just a few days short from finding out the winners of Unigamesity’s Best Games of 2008 awards, but there’s still a small (and rather unpleasant) step that has to be made now, just to make it easier for everybody to understand that huge budgets and obscene amounts of advertising are not the only things [...]

Robert Pelloni is a games developer who, for the past five years, worked hard creating a Nintendo DS homebrew title, Bob’s Quest. The game is done now, but there’s a little problem: since it was a homebrew project the game is ineligible for publisher support. The solution? Nintendo has to approve his application for licensed [...]

This appears to have come out of nowhere, but it’s real and it’s here: Guns N’ Roses’ frontman Axl Rose has slammed Activision for using his band’s songs in Guitar Hero and hinted that he might go as far as suing the publishers. No, the guy did not go completely mad – it appears that [...]

Nintendo has released their early 2009 lineup and I must admit I’m impressed with the quantity of games we’re going to see released by Nintendo. Hopefully, the quality will also be very high – it would be sad not to, since the highly anticipated Pokemon Platinum will finally be released on March 22, together with [...]
