Rainbow Studios Inc. is jumping into the fray of programming games for the market-leading video game console, the Nintendo Wii.
Rainbow and its parent, THQ Inc., are hopping aboard the Nintendo train, which has produced the top-selling game console in the nearly $18 billion industry, according to market analyst The NPD Group Inc.
Nintendo, once the king of consoles, fell behind its rivals but now is coming out on top again in its battle with Microsoft Inc.'s Xbox 360 and Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3.
Rainbow has focused its talents primarily on high-end systems such as Xbox and PS3, and its designers sometimes are not very excited about taking that step back, said Mark Buchignani, senior producer at Rainbow.
Nintendo has captured a large niche for itself. The company sold nearly 6.3 million Wii consoles in 2007 -- almost as many as the Xbox 360 and PS3 combined, according to NPD Group.
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 !!!
