A video game about a rebel group of humans fighting back against alien invaders who have taken control of the Earth could this week become the biggest phenomenon in entertainment history. Microsoft is confident worldwide sales could top $300 million by the end of its release day on Tuesday. In 2004, Halo 2 racked up $125 million in North American sales within first 24 hours of its release.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

TimeShift had a fairly muted launch in 2007, and while it doesn't rewrite the FPS rulebook it does offer an enjoyable campaign even now.
Never heard of this game until someone mentioned it here last year. Played it and it basically represents most games from the PS3/Xbox360 era—good graphics, amazing physics, and extremely fun gameplay (time powers rock), but barely any story, weird pacing, and at least one annoying AF level. I finished Prototype last week and the same applies, except Strike Teams. Fuck Strike Teams.
I miss when ganes used to experiment with physics and world interaction
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
If Halo 2 took in $125 million in the first 24 hours in North America alone, worldwide sales of Halo 3 will possibly top $300 million.
Seriously, no other video game has ever brought the excitement like Halo 3. This is a great time for real gamers!
and in one day...
Biggest entertainment release in history...
I'm part of it lol...
Somethin I'll tell my grandkids about. How can you say it isn't like the Star Wars of our gen?
<ed> Yea. Baker, that's kinda what I meant to say.
copies of the $60 version in order to make $300,000,000.
Lets say that they make $200,000,000 on the $70 which they would have to sell 2,857,142 copies in order to make and $99,350,000 on the $60 version which is 1,655,833 copies and they sell all the legendaries(they made 5,000 I think) with a profit of $650,000 on them.
Thats 5,162,975 copies altogether with a profit of $300,000,000.
