The Wall Street Journal: Battle of the Game Consoles, Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox Widen Leads Over Sony's PlayStation. Read the whole article via neogaf.com secondary link.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.
I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.
Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.
Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?
What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
If Sony can get a $300 PS3 on the market next year I think they will be fine. PS3 has an awesome 2009 lineup.
is going away after this far in..Its going to be a long run for every console out there...
so basically before the price cut the ps3 was cruising, not crushing the competition but cruising
look at this way.. one is half the price, one is twice the price.. and the only difference is about 500k
Console Year 2008 sales (as of November)
Wii 8,001,000
Xbox 360 3,295,400
PlayStation 3 2,818,900
PlayStation 2 2,092,300
Handhelds
Nintendo DS 6.91 million
PlayStation Portable 2.81 million
lol, one of those immature article again.
Don't worry Sony won't be in 3rd place forever... next Gen when Sega jumps back in, it'll be PS4th place.
(Assuming Sony computer entertainment can actually survive past the catastrophe that is the PS3)
