According to a new study from ABI Research, micropayments for consoles alone will account for $833 million by 2011.
A new study from New York-based ABI Research estimates that increasing numbers of gamers will allocate a growing part of their gaming budget towards the purchase of in-game assets such as maps, game related add-ons, casual games, and eventually full blown console titles released digitally.
The research predicts that these micropayments will account for $833 million by 2011, with platform holders and publishers looking to generate increased revenue from in-game purchases.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Downloading full blown console titles released digitally on the Wii and 360 is gonna be hard. Wii has crap for space, and the 360's 20gb HD actually has 8gb free.
Sony and include a 60Gig Hardrive in the Xbox 360 Premium, and have a 20GB HD for the Xbox 360 Core.
I think you have Microsoft confused with sony, cause Sony is the company that copies every other companies ideas.
But I would not be in a rush to down load a game either. People are on the hunt for angles to leverage preference against choice. But if a new HD is released I will buy it if priced properly. I'm a hard core gamer and the 20 gig is fine. I delete trailers after viewing 2 - 3 times and Demos are gone after a week or so. Any thing else is streamed form my PC or from my Zune.
I learned from my 1st Xbox how to use your HDD.
