Alan Wake, Prince of Persia, Blur and Others Sell Under 200K

The U.S. games industry in May failed to bounce back in the way many thought it would, and a large part of that is the dominance of Red Dead Redemption and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Consumers flocked to these two great titles, leaving many other very good titles collecting dust on store shelves.

That every game just doesn't interest every human being on earth? Can we stop being so naive to think that every game should sell like Mario or Modern Warfare? Please and thank you.

this game died for me when they announced there would be no PC version.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia7d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie7d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie7d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh7d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

Cacabunga61d ago

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics60d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend60d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long61d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons61d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor61d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5260d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60260d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor61d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
