Halo ODST sells 2.5 Million copies in the first 2 weeks

Bungie’s Halo 3: ODST sold 2.5 million copies in its first two weeks.

USA Today reports that overall sales reached $125 million in revenue so far. “That’s pretty good for a game that most called an ‘expansion pack,'” said Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter.

The original Halo 3 did $170 M on its first day of business, eventually amounting to $300 million during the first week on sale.

For being a simple expansion pack Bungie and Microsoft have generated huge sales.  It seems that anything with HALO in its title is guaranteed to make millions 😉

Street Fighter in 15 pixel grid ?? WHAT The..

Check out this funny Street Fighter battle in 15 pixels from The U.K. games festival Gamecity

This information was explained by GameCity

This year we commissioned design collective the Alaskan Military School to produce an animation package to communicate the ethos of the event. We recently launched a series of viral spots that are the first part of this collection of new work. They each take one of our favourite games at GameCity HQ and translate them into a 15 pixel grid. It’s Hyper pixel minimalism! We realised that you can communicate the essence of great, iconic games with minimal visual information. I think this approach echoes the values of the festival, to take a sideways look at games, and foster a creative space.
