Americas Preorder Charts - 19th Dec 09

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:42:33 GMT

VGChartz writes: "God of War III continues to lead the latest preorder chart with around 160,000 preorders. We still expect total preorders to top out at over 450,000 units and for God of War III to perform similarly to it's immediate predecessor. All of the games in the top 7 have a number of weeks to go until release and should see strong increases in preorders in the new year once the holiday season has finished and gamers start to look towards their next purchases."

Kombo: Phantasy Star Zero Review

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 03:00:03 GMT

Phantasy Star Zero is the DS's take on Phantasy Star online. This is a brand new adventure full of looting and questing and yet it retains the same aspects and feelings for those of you lucky to play the original Dreamcast classic. The game starts off with a choice of character race, and you create a customized look for your avatar from there. You can either play a story rich single player experience or go online for a great time with your friends or a random pickup group.
