The Examiner chimes in with their opinion on NPD sales:
The much anticipated NPD September 2009 sales numbers were released today after being delayed through the weekend due to "last minute processing requirements." Judging by the actual numbers, one has to wonder if the fanboys demanded a recount of the data as PS3 sales numbers were much lower than expected considering that PS3 slim model was released at the end of August and now had a full month to make a difference.
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 !!!
Who expected the Xbox 360 wouldn't/couldn't release a single FULL AAA Exclusive Game in 2009?
PS: This is a fact. No? Name one then.
