According to official statistics. After just 17 days Avatar has already made over $1 billion in gross ticket sales, putting it in 4th place of all-time movies. On the top is Titanic with $1.8 billion, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King with $1.12 billion and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest with $1.07 billion. It will still continue to rise, presently its sitting at $1.02 billion and will certainly make its way to 2nd spot. Giving Mr Cameron the honor of producing 2 of the biggest movies ever made. Now all we need is a 3rd and he can then retire 😉
Even though the Story to Avatar was not very original, everyone’s been comparing it to Disney’s Pocohontas. But one thing we cannot question or fault the amazing and spectacular visuals and animation especially when seen in 3D.
The box office amount is fueled by 3D and IMAX ticket sales (tickets are more expensive than regular movies tickets). Breakdown of sales : $352.1 million domestically : $670.2 million internationally and $66.4 million from IMAX theaters. I personally have gone to see Avatar twice once in IMAX and then in a regular theater with no 3D and the experience was no where near the same. If you want to experience this movie in all is glory. Then IMAX or a theater that provides 3D is a must.
Along with the success of the movie Gameloft have lowered its price on the Avatar iPhone game. It’s now down to $8.99 US. It’s actually quite a well rounded game and very enjoyable. Check it out below click on the Buy Now button to be taken to the iTunes store.
There’s a lot of gas bagging going on about how much Medal of Honor is SO similar to the Almighty Modern Warfare 2. Well let me add my 5 cents worth in on the argument. I would like to remind everyone that a VERY long time ago there was no such thing as Call Of Duty. The only KING of the FPS was Medal Of Honor. So When Call Of Duty came out all those year back was it safe to say that Call Of Duty was a rip-off Medal Of Honor ? Wasn’t it the exact same game with a new little feature thrown in called SHELL SHOCK, (everything would blur when you were close to a grenade that went off). Whoopie-Doo and that made it different from what was already the leader in its genre.
I know that EA got very sloppy and lost hold of its reign on top when they kept on re-hashing the same kind of war style battles being stuck in the history. Then Modern Warfare came out. A new war, a new enemy, a new bunch of hero’s and a new threat (sounds similar doesn’t it). Yes of course everyone would accept it as we were bored stiff with the same of WW2 battles that were going on not only in our tv screens, but between EA and Infinity Ward. So it became a HIT… We got to battle new terrorist threats and a new story unfolded, everyone love it, it was like a breath of fresh air filling the lungs of a 2 pack a day smoker.
NOW moving forward to 2010 the roles are in reverse. Modern Warfare is in the same spot Medal of Honor was all those years back. Sitting on the top of the mountain as the KING of FPS war games. Everyone’s loving Infinity Ward they are heroes, they can do no wrong, and neither can the fictional characters that they have developed and created. Now EA comes along attempting to pull off the same same stunt that Infinity Ward did some many years ago, and everyone starts bagging and flaming and claiming that MOH is just a big RIP-OFF of Modern Warfare. Have we all forgotten so quickly what happened all those years back when a couple of EA developers jumped ship and decided to make their own war game, were we quick to critize back then ? Even though it was very similar in nearly every aspect we all gave it a chance.
Even though Medal Of Honor 2010, reloaded, rebooted or whatever everyone is calling it is going to be practically the same as Modern Warfare it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give it a fair go and a chance to prove itself. With a new team over at EA running with MOH. I believe we will all be pleasantly surprised with the final product, maybe it might give Modern Warfare a good run for its money and HOPEFULLY knock it off and out of its number one position and show the world that a game that used to be king can be king again.
I’d like to give Medal Of Honor the following title : MOH “The Return Of The King” not reload, not rebooted not anything else. The King Shall return and it will take its rightful place on the top of the mountain once again. And then the real battle will begin. 😉

Nintendo DSiWare
Trajectile Publisher: Nintendo, Players: 1, ESRB Rating: E (Everyone), Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points™
Description: Trajectile is a puzzle game that’s as much about firepower as it is about brainpower, requiring you to line up your shot and launch a flurry of missiles at enemy targets. Three types of missiles are at your disposal, each one with its own characteristics – but all of them can bounce off walls on their path to smash, blast or drill through enemies and blocks. Along the way, you’ll find item blocks just waiting to be destroyed so that you can obtain special power-ups … and cause even more destruction. Be careful though, as missile type and position are predetermined and you get only a limited number of launches per stage. Complete multiple classes containing numerous individual stages, earning medals when you clear stages in fewer than the given number of turns. Are you ready to take aim at becoming a Trajectile master?
Description: Animal Puzzle Adventure is a simple puzzle game where you have to lead various animals to their respective barns placed on the map, while avoiding pitfalls and cliffs and using the objects on the field to your advantage.

Description: Heron: Steam Machine is a game about a factory where rubber duckies are being produced by a large steam engine. On this steam engine, there are four different gauges which you will have to watch carefully. By connecting the pipes, you will earn points and relieve some of the pressure, keeping the machine running just a little bit longer. If one of the gauges reaches its maximum, the machine will eventually blow up, and the game is over. If you were lucky enough to achieve a high score, make sure you enter your name in the list so other players can compete with you. In Multiplayer, you are able to cooperate with friends in maintaining the steam machine. When you play with two, three or four players, the screen is divided into sections with different background colors. Each player is able to solve his or her own part of the puzzle. Players are restricted to their own section of the screen, so you will have to work together to make the pipes fit properly. (Additional accessories are required for multiplayer play and are sold separately.)
