Contrary to what many gamers (fanboys) might think (or force themselves to believe), Halo 3 is the game. Period. Right now, there's no other game with the potential to outsell Bungie's epic conclusion to their trilogy.
Atari has acquired Intellivision. The company announced today that it had acquired its long-time rival, ending one of the original console rivalries, dating back to the 1970s.
Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.
This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.
Good piece of history here.
edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.
This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.
These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.
I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Many players find it easier to express themselves while playing games. Yet, over half of the surveyed gamers still play to relieve stress.
I wonder what place made this study, and it's Fandom, no wonder half of the people said that, I find it hilarious that Fandom of all places did manage to pull more than 50% for the argument of playing games for self expression
I actually just play to relax/have fun, get immersed in another world for a while and enjoy the story/characters, who the hell plays to "express themselves"? I can understand how that applies to say Minecraft, where you're actually making things, but I don't think you can apply this to most games.
What about Barbie's Great adventures series, those games got a huge fan base, millions of 12 year old girls..
So yeah, this ain't far off.
I effing LOVE Halo. so polished. So damn near perfect.
Flame away, I don't care. I'm a Bungie Fanboy.
Looking forward to Crysis a whole lot more then this game... Looks pretty horrible and bland imo and never cared for the series in the first place...
Last I checked the 360 already had far too many shooters this just adds to that...
The Halo series is SOO F'in sweet!
I can't wait to see what Halo 3 has in store for us!:)
What is this rubbish?
Pokemon D and/or P
Gran Turismo 5
And GTA IV...
Are all bigger than Halo. In that order. They'll all outsell Halo 3.
Wii Play too, but that's just shovelware packed in with an extra controller.
