While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.
I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
New Super Mario Bros. U was a good title to launch with the Wii U, it seems.
Both the basic and deluxe version needs NSMBU bundled with it.
so does anyone ever compare vgchart info with the legit numbers and see if they're accurate?
Wow, props to Sony, there are on a roll!
Ha! I love how PS3 leads in multi-console releases. Kudos.
I posted this on the US weekly thread, but it bears repeating...
I'm going to rant for a second:
Before I start I should first mention that I own a PS3 and only a PS3...
What the f&*# is going on with PS3 game sales? I'm looking at the 2012 global software chart and it's embarrassing. The top three PS3 games aren't surprising: Black Ops 2, FIFA, and ACIII. But what's at #4? Resident Evil 6. Seriously. RE6 sold 2.2 million copies on PS3.
But wait, it gets worse. 1 million people bought RE Operation Raccoon City. Wtf people. More people bought that POS than Dishonored. Also, Borderlands 2 only sold 1.2 million copies. The sales of Borderlands 2 and Dishonored combined on PS3 are less than RE6 sales.
You know what's not on the list? 2012 1st party games. Here are some numbers (and they're bad):
Starhawk: 200,000
Twisted Metal: 600,000
LBP Karting: 400,000
PlayStation All-Stars: 380,000
Those 4 combined are less than RE6's sales.
Starhawk selling that low is pathetic. You can kiss Lightbox goodbye because of that. They fired 75% of their workforce and are making iPhone games now.
iPhone games.
For the record I bought Twisted Metal, Starhawk, Borderlands 2, and Dishonored (among others this year) and haven't bought a Resident Evil game in 7 years.
Get your crap together PS3 owners.
