A recent report from PricewaterhouseCoopers titled "Global Entertainment and Media Outlook: 2006-2010" predicts the worldwide game market will see enormous growth, going from about $7 billion in 2005 to as much as $47 billion in 2010. That's almost seven times the current market value (here calculated for those who, like me, have reallocated brain cells previously used for algebra to trying to figure out Lost).
The bulk of this growth is not expected to come from the US, however. PwC predicts Asia Pacific will hold its leadership position over the next few years, with increased broadband access, computer literacy, and government promotion being the key factors driving sales in that region. The combined region of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa is expected to lead the globe in terms of growth.
Fallout London hasn't exactly had an ideal launch—crashing issues have been reported by players—but overall reaction is still posititve.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.
After being forced under the map with no way to escape, Helldivers 2 was an option added to force respawn so they can get back to action.
it must be the 360
;)
Halo proved that video games can do better than Hoolywood Movies... so thats another reason!
MS, of course.
EA, will always be around.
Wanted to buy some UbiSoft, but they were bought out. Bungie too I believe.
Who would you buy stock in? Just curious, not because you like a certain company, but because you see the company doing well in the future. Like EA, can you picture the gaming world without them? They dont make the greatest games, but they do make alot of them. They will be around forever.
Really what would you buy?
ESP. ALL YOU F@GS THAT LIKE THE Wii. YOU GUYS ARE SERIOUSLY FUKED IN THE HEAD.
