  • L.A Noire Tops June 2011 Software Sales According To NPD

    L.A Noire kept its throne for the second time in a row by topping the software sales in June according to NPD. Duke Nukem was second while Infamous 2 finished with a 3rd position despite being on a single platform.

    While L.A Noire and Duke Nukem were released on multiple platforms, Infamous 2 was released on PS3 only which made its sales more important than both of the games. According to Sony, Infamous 2 was the single best selling SKU of the month. The combined sales of all platforms for L.A Noire and Duke Nukem helped them claim the top 2 spots easily.

    NPD results also showed the sales of Microsoft Xbox 360 which were twice as many as all current generation platform sales. The Xbox 360 sold about 507,000 units during June 2011.

    The total sales of US retailers were off about 10% from last year. See the full list below:-

  • New Counter-Strike Game Announced, Coming Soon To PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac

    The rumors swirling around the internet were true after all. Valve has announced Counter-Strike Global Offensive for PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac. This new game will be released on PC on Steam while Xbox 360 and PS3 will get it on XBLA and PSN. The release date hasn’t been specified yet but an early 2012 date was given by Valve.

    Counter-Strike is a popular game which wasn’t originally a full fledged game but just a sort of mod of the original Half-Life for PC. It became the most played online PC game in 1999 and is still popular today despite showing its age now.

    This recent Counter-Strike news will cheer a lot of the die-hard Counter-Strike fans and considering the fact that it is made available on almost every mainstream gaming platform these days, it will surely be a treat. You can read the full press release below.

    VALVE ANNOUNCES COUNTER-STRIKE: GLOBAL OFFENSIVE (CS: GO)

    Next Gen Console, PC, and Mac Release Targeted for Early 2012

    August 13, 2011 – Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO).
    Targeted for release via Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam (for PC and Mac) in early 2012, CS: GO will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched exactly 12 years ago (CS beta 1, August 1999).
    CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.
    “Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999,” said Doug Lombard, VP of Marketing at Valve. “For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS’ award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac.”
    CS: GO is being developed by Valve in cooperation with Seattle-based Hidden Path Entertainment. The title is targeted for release in early 2012 and will be playable at this year’s PAX Prime and London Games Festival.

  • The Witcher 2 For Xbox 360 Delayed To 2012

    The Witcher 2 is a PC exclusive which was recently announced at this year’s E3 for the Xbox 360. It was going to be released this year, but now it seems like it has been delayed to Q1 2012.

    The game is being delayed for two reasons according to CD Projekt RED, the makers of Witcher 2. One reason is to provide more time to the development team so that they can focus more on expanding and polishing certain elements of gameplay. The other reason is due to the legal battle ongoing between CD Projekt RED and Namco due to the removal of DRM from the PC version of Witcher 2.

    The Witcher 2 is an action RPG which was liked alike by both fans and critics. It had good sales figure and was a success for its developer CD Projekt RED. It is sequel to the original “The Witcher” on PC, which despite being lauded for its unique style gameplay and story, it was a horrible and buggy game. Later though, CD Project managed to patch the bugs by releasing updates for the game.

    The original Witcher was also destined for a console release but never made it. It was announced for release in Fall 2009 but later it was cancelled.

    This game is only announced for the Xbox 360, there is no news of any PS3 version so far.
