What the hell is going on over there?

JDW4758d ago

Perhaps their participation in the upcoming finals of EURO 2012 has boosted PES sales.

Beyond that, I guess the economy problems are affecting the games industry there.

shadowwizard4758d ago

I guess economy in Greece is pretty bad after all when they need to buy GTA: San Andreas for PS2, lulz.

Pumbli4758d ago

Gotta hand it to the Greeks, despite being in a bad economic situation they still retain their great taste in games.

This is the coolest news I read all day. I can't see how this wont reach 1000 degrees.

Edit: Should have put "San Andreas sold more than MW3 in Greece." That would get everyone going haha.

GraveLord4758d ago

It really is an amazing accomplishment.

It tells you a lot about Greece though. How many people are still stick with PS2s if they are still buying San Andreas?

Ulf4758d ago

PS2... so epic. I still play mine plenty.

The game decided to end its service and operations?

jznrpg39d ago

That’s one way to shift blame

I mean… it was pretty underwhelming. They basically slapped on that overused “neon remaster” aesthetic that a bunch of older revivals have leaned on, cranked up the speed a bit, and called it a day. No real innovation, no fresh ideas, just a faster, flashier version of something we’ve already seen.

Did they really skip Shadow of the Colossus? I would definitely swap Dark Cloud for that.

Cacabunga151d ago

Killzone 1
Black
FF12
GT4
Jak 3
SSX
MGS2
God of war 2


Too much greatness on this console.

Venoxn4g151d ago

I could argue that MGS3 looks even better than MGS2

Cacabunga151d ago

Veno

It does, but MGS2 tanker presentation was ahead of everything we could imagine.

phatak151d ago

god of war 2 looked better than most of the launch games, just like last of us 1 ,kz2 and god of war 3 looking better than a bunch of launch ps4 games, and kz2 for reason looks just as good in 2024, that game had some black magic

Cacabunga151d ago

Agreed. I sometimes watch multiplayer videos of it. Best FPS i have ever played. It’s the game that initiated me to the genre. It has a special place in my all time favorite top3

Demetrius151d ago
