Teasing plans to "make entertainment history" at E3 next month, Microsoft spun NPD's April 2010 retail video game revenue report as a tale of irate ex-NSA ops, multiplayer betas, and "industry-leading" attach rates.
While Xbox 360 exclusive Splinter Cell: Conviction sold less than half a million copies, it grabbed the top slot in April's lackluster software sales, holding off dual threats from Nintendo's portable Pokemon remakes, and surging ahead of Sony's PS3 exclusive God of War III, which had moved over a million units in March.
Microsoft also hailed its Halo: Reach public beta as a "blockbuster" success, claiming over one million unique players participated in the game's inaugural day. The beta wraps on May 19, and Halo: Reach is due out sometime this fall.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
Cultured Vultures: Let’s delve into Kratos’ long and rampageous history and find out which games are worth the hype and which are better left buried under the weight of Kratos’s might.
Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.
My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.
There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.
Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.
God of War 3 Remaster has sold 4 million copies since its inception, making the franchise PlayStation's most profitable gamer merch brand.
Haha I still remember my brother playing the opening scene on ps3!!!
Yeh he had to put the controller down his heart was beating too fast trying to get past first 10 minutes. He said "it's too much". Best thing I've ever seen in gaming. Haha
I know this is unpopular opinion, but I prefer these over the new ones. I’m not saying the new ones are bad or anything, but they sort of get boring to me, whereas the older games were like non-stop roller coaster rides.
Nintendo, Sony, & MS all spin the numbers and the news to make themselves look as good as possible. They all spend BIG money on PR.
Who approves this crap. How is any of this news. Its all flamebait. My god. And people like you SKCShifty eat it up.
"While Xbox 360 exclusive Splinter Cell: Conviction sold less than half a million copies"
Would have thought that it would at least reach 1 million by now due to the hype. Guess not.
