Consumers place Blu-ray players at the top of their holiday wish lists.
US, December 12, 2008 - The holiday shopping season is at full intensity and consumers have made it clear that above all else they want a Blu-ray player in their stocking. Numerous reports have shown a dramatic increase in Blu-ray sales this year, with experts estimating that many more thousands of units will be cleared from the shelves before the New Year.
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 !!!
Finaly some good news concerning blu-ray, and indirectly the ps3. its a nice break from all the sony hate going around atm.
I really hope blue ray becomes the number one format. The picture and sound not to mention the space is great. It some ways its a shame the 360 wasn't blue ray as a lot of games being muti format don't make much use of it. Hopefully next gen it will be the standard drive and also by then it will be a lot cheaper.
Take my advice get a player, you won't regret it.
This just made that writer from CNN look stupid.
lol
according to HD-DVD/ Xbox fanboys, Blu-Ray is going to die very soon. I guess they are wrong, LMAO.
We have a positive blu-ray story saying that it's doing very well. All that means is that in the next few days we're bound to have some "Blu-Ray is dead" and "Blu-ray on life support" news stories posted all over the place with lots of comments about how DD is better and that the difference between a Blu-ray and an upconverted DVD is insignificant.
Ugh...
