Mind/Games: Steam Sales

steam-sales

Valve recently celebrated yet another record year in game sales, to the surprise of absolutely no one. 2011 was an excellent year for Valve, who was able to announce their seventh straight year of 100 percent or more increase in game sales. What has Valve done so right? Think about that. Steam’s game sales have at least doubled, every year, for the past seven years. In the context of a brick and mortar store, their required storage warehouse would have double in size every year. Good thing for Valve that [...]

skyrim-creation-kit-surprise

Pete Hines from Bethesda posted a nice tweet on twitter to let everyone know that the upcoming Creation Kit for The Elder Scrolls Skyrim is right on schedule, as well as teasing everybody with some sort of “special surprise” that they have in store which will be included in the Creation Kit.

As the title states, the upcoming sequel on THQ’s shooter Metro 2033 is delayed until early next year. The reason for this delay is not yet clear although it seems like THQ is trying to polish up the game a lot more than they did with the first Metro 2033 which still had a lot of bugs in it. Core games boss at THQ, Danny Bilson said he believed the shooter had what it takes to “compete with Call of Duty’s”. The question is however will they be able to [...]

The Invisible Wall – An Author’s Response

zelda-link-skyward-sword

Every three or four years, I’ll mark a special day in my calendar. It’s not the leap year or the Summer Olympics. Actually I should put those in there. But the day to which I was originally referring is the release date of a new Zelda. The Legend of Zelda is my “desert island” franchise (“if you were stranded on a deserted island and could only bring one game…”). Most of us have at least one. That series of games that plays so familiar yet innovative and manages to engross [...]

ssx-patagonia-trailer

Next Stop in the SSX media bombardment is Patagonia! EA Sports is really trying to sell this game with showing off the unrealistic, full of action, deadly descents. Of course we all know that SSX is not the in the Simulation genre and put more emphasis on the actual gameplay and “fun” aspect of the game instead of the realism, but this time they seem to pull the long bow in terms of actually defying the rules of physics that exist in this world in order to provide for a [...]
