Uncharted 2 – 2nd BEST Game of all time on the PS3 .. For now

This straight from the Horses mouth.  Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves on the Playstation 3 developed by Naughty Dog has jumped all the way to 2nd best game of all time on the Playstation 3 according to Metacritic.com

Check out it out below .. So far the highest rating game of all time on the Playstation 3 is Grand Theft Auto 4 with a score of 98 – this based on 64 critic reviews

Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves could potentially topple the top dog off its throne.  Currently Uncharted 2 has a metacritic score of 97 based on 41 critic reviews

So if another 20 or so more critics review Uncharted 2 and give it a score better than 98 or above, we could be looking at the best game on the Playstation 3 of all time.

Who’s willing to place their money on this happening ?? I’d throw in a few dollars as I believe it’s got what it takes to topple GTA4 off its perch as king of the mountain !!

Only time will tell..

 

Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles : Meeting Ada Gameplay

This is straight from Game Trailers !! They have a heap of other cool gameplay trailers especially for Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles. Check them out here.

This one is one my of favorites !! Leon and Claire get to meet up with ADA Wong.  It’s very eerie and a little scary.  I can’t wait to get my hands on this.  Multiplayer is going to be very fun.

Check this out .. recommend to play this really late at night with the lights turned off !! 😉

Halo ODST sells 2.5 Million copies in the first 2 weeks

1

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

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDuMG-kgxJQ&feature=player_embedded]

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.

Who do you think is fighting in this ?
