Microsoft said on Thursday that early orders for its upcoming Xbox 360 game "Gears of War" are second only to its 2004 blockbuster "Halo 2," giving the company a running start as it aims to compete with the debut of Sony's rival PlayStation 3 console.
"Halo 2" for the original Xbox had pre-orders of 1.5 million and an additional million copies were sold in its first day of release, setting the bar for subsequent Xbox titles.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
"Deep Silver, Dambuster Studios, and PLAION are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the second expansion (“SoLA”) for "Dead Island 2" (the said expansion is availableright now for PC and consoles via digital stores)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

I thought this was some sort of record for all video games...period. The original couple of days beat ALL video games, not just xbox titles, and even beat the highest grossing movie as of the date.

I have never ever ever ever preordered anything in my life but I did preorder GOW!
...and the guy said they were most likely going to have a midnight release for it.
I've had it pre-ordered for quite a while now and I can't f*cking wait until Monday night. I don't know how much I'll actually play it the night I get it seeing as I gotta be to work at 6:30 in the morning.
I'll have a hell of a time playing once I get home Tuesday afternoon though. :-D
I hope they're prepared to get that many copies on the shelves.
If this is just the pre orders for the game, then I wonder how many xbox 360 consoles will be moveing of the shelves for this game as well,And with pinata out the same day this could be a big punch by microsoft game studios, timeing both games for release near the ps3 launch, this is going to be interesting.
