Publisher revenues up 77 percent year-over-year thanks to nearly triple-platinum MMA game; Red Faction: Guerrilla hits 1 million, PC edition pushed past September.
UFC 2009: Undisputed dominated the sales charts in its first month on sale, so it's little surprise the mixed martial arts game lifted THQ to record sales figures for the quarter of its release. The publisher today posted its financial results for the three months ended June 30, headlined by a whopping 77 percent increase in sales over the same stretch the year before.
Xboxspill.no: Achievements, they are perhaps the most important of all unimportant things for a gamer! Here we provide a list of some of the hardes, easies and broken achievements out there.

The mile high club one isn't hard.
Sure it takes a couple of tries but it doesn't take that long.
As the new year begins, GameStop has opened up the start of the year with a deal that promotes the selling and trading of new & used video games. It's a deal that also gives gamers the opportunity to win a trip to the UFC Live Event in Vegas. The trip is all inclusive, and covers everything from hotel stay to airfare.
Several new PS3 'Greatest Hit' titles have been revealed via a Walmart flyer. The biggest among the new batch of 'Greatest Hit' titles is Killzone 2, inFamous, and LittleBigPlanet GOTY Edition. Once reaching 'Greatest Hit' status, these titles will retail for the new retail price of $30. Several more are also revealed.
Here in Australia, those games have all been "Platinum" titles for 6 months each at least now.
Is PS3 Greatest Hits (I assume this is U.S) the same as "Platinum"?
Since these games have been Platinum here for a while, I am expecting UC2 to go Platinum soon.
YEEESSSSS I can go out and get the GOTY edition of Little Big Planet, I've been waiting awhile.
Nice. Two more awesome games added to Sony's repertoire.
They should really do away with those ugly red cases, though.
It pretty nice to see that Killzone 2 and inFamous didn't take that long to become Greatest Hits Titles in comparison early PS3 exclusives like Uncharted: Drakes Fortune and Ratchet Future Tools of Destruction that took nearly 2 years to permanently drop to $29.99...
I already own all the games listed except for LBP and the UFC game, but UFC Undisputed doesn't interest me and I've been waiting to get LBP once it dropped in price, so I'll probably get it sometime this Summer...and I'll make sure that I get a Black Label version too before they become pretty scarce b/c I don't want that Red Greatest Hits label on mine.
I have all those games except infamouse, looks like one more game is going to be added to my ps3 collection.

"I think its time i pick up Killzone 2 again the best looking shooter on any console :-)"
For now at least. Rage, Crysis 2 and Brink will try top KZ2 (and they will I hope)
I just got my platinum on infamous i took my time and thoroughly enjoyed it, its one of the best games of this generation seriously its up there! loved everything about it and i find open world games normally bore me after 15hrs odd, this one did not.
Great, looks like my bestfriend will be getting 2 presents with his new console
Is the plastic still all red like it was before the box redesign? I hate that look. I wish they would just do something like they did with the PS2 Greatest Hits
You can usually get a normal covered one if you go out and get a copy early on into the time that they've become a Greatest Hit.
Good.I'm glad to see THQ and Atari going up instead of down like the other publishers.Looks like gambling with UFC and promoting has helped THQ while Atari scored some cash with a good Ghostbusters game.
