  • Assassin’s Creed 3 Sells Over 3 Million Copies In First Week

    People Sure Do Love George Washington

    Ubisoft has just reported their first half numbers for the 2012-13 fiscal year and have announced that Assassin’s Creed 3 is estimated to have sold more than 3.5 million copies in its first week in release.

    I think we were all expecting Assassin’s Creed 3 to pop a big number but that is a huge amount of games. It is over double the sales from last year’s Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. It seems the swap from Italy to the American Revolution is just what this series needed.

    Ubisoft still has a strong lineup for the rest of the year as well with Far Cry 3, Just Dance 4 and seven titles releasing on Nintendo’s Wii U. It is basically the exact opposite of the THQ article I posted this morning.

  • New Wii Bundles Coming In November

    Celebrate The Wii U Launch By Buying A Wii.

    Nintendo dropped the price of their Wii a few weeks back to $129.99 and now they have introduced two new bundles just in time for the holidays.

    The first will be a bundle that comes packed with a normal white Wii and a copy of Just Dance 4, the newest in the best-selling dance series. It will be priced at $129.99.

    The second comes with a baby blue colored Wii and a copy of Skylanders Giants which includes the game, power portal and three Skylanders figures. The bundle comes in slightly more expensive at $149.99.

    Both bundles will be available on November 4th.

     

  • New Game Releases. October 9, 2012

    Stealth Steampunk And The Return Of Real Time UFO Defense.

    [amazon_link id=”B005C2D2MO” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Dishonored[/amazon_link] (360, PS3, PC) $59.99

    One of the most unique looking games of the past year that has been on our radars finally releases today. Bethesda’s first person game mixes a little Bioshock, Half-Life and Thief and places the game in a Victorian, steampunk environment and leaves the options up to players on how to seek out your revenge. The game can be played (according to the creators) with killing no one or you can go through and have a bloodbath.

    [amazon_link id=”B006WQR3GA” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]XCOM: Enemy Unknown[/amazon_link] (360, PS3, PC) $59.99

    Firaxis brings back the classic strategy game to a new generation. Control the XCOM force and keep the world safe from an alien invasion. Take your squads out to meet the threat head on using a cover based real time strategy play style that requires more patience than running in blind to a firefight so some Call of Duty fans may not be able to grasp it.

    The Walking Dead Episode 4: Around Every Corner (XBLA, PSN) $4.99, 800 MS Points

    Telltale’s wonderful game based on the comic book reaches its penultimate episode. Lee and the group of survivors have finally made it to Macon but will there be the relief that they all have been searching for? My magic 8-ball says no. If you have not been playing this game and don’t want to download all the episodes separately don’t worry, they will all be released on disc in December.

    [amazon_link id=”B0050SY8UK” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Fable: The Journey[/amazon_link] (360) $49.99

    Fable continues on after the departure of Peter Molyneux. This game has been pointed at as the reason Molyneux left Lionhead Studios to create yet another studio. The game will be used strictly with the Kinect to attack, cast spells and travel with your horse throughout Albion. I wish there were a lot of kind words to say about this but it seems the the Fable franchise is still in decline since Fable 2.

    [amazon_link id=”B0086V5UF0″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Just Dance 4[/amazon_link] (360, PS3, Wii, Wii U) $39.99- $49.99

    Another fall is here so that means another iteration of the best selling dance game. I am sure that Sony and Microsoft enjoy these games since they give players a reason to use the Kinect and Move. The roster this year includes “music” from “artists” like Justin Beiber, Flo Rida, Maroon 5 and human punching bag Rihanna.

     

    Next week get ready to return to hell with Doom 3: BFG Edition and Daniel Craig returns to take on six classic Bond missions in 007 Legends.

    Happy gaming!!!

  • News: Wii U Boxart Revealed

    Amazon.ca has put up some box art for three Wii U titles on their site and it may be the first look we have had at what the game cases will look like for Nintendo’s next home console.

    It remains to be seen if these are just artist’s renderings for the site or the real deal but they certainly do have a certain Gamecube look to them where the Wii U logo appears.The cases will be a blue tint akin to the Xbox 360’s green cases. Only three titles have been shown: Assassin’s Creed 3, Just Dance 4 and Avengers: Battle for Earth and although nothing has been confirmed one would assume all three may be launch titles.

    Wii U is expected to launch in November.
