Modern Warfare 2 sells 4.7 million on day one

There were uproars, there were scandals, there was bad publicity, there was a media sandstorm and a big aftermath, but in the end, Modern Warfare 2 sold. Man, it sold like salvation and absolution of sins at the Apocalypse fair. And it was expected. In the end, we might have wanted this or that, we might have felt this or that, but the marketing machine did it’s play and at the end of the day, we had our money out, and we were ready to play some Modern Warfare 2. Myself i played some SP, not terribily impressed, did not have enough time to delve in MP that much. The games have really piled up, and what’s a guy to do but take them one at a time. :)

Cryptic announces Star Trek Online system requirements

And they’re pretty fair. The minimum system requirements are lax, and even the recommended are easily met nowadays. Still, it’s an MMO, it has to be accesable to a wide range of PCs/Laptops since people tend to ‘take them along’. Anyhows, Star Trek Online’s out February 2nd so put on your vulcan ears, since we all know you have a pair, and start doing practice mind-melds.

Armada 2526 trailer

I’m a sucker for Space 4x games even though mostly i suck at them, but i enjoy the development, the building up, the initial pwning of races that underestimated me and the inevitable overwhelming. Still, Armada 2526 has a huge contender still standing tall after a long while, Galactic Civilizations 2. From the absolutely mindblowing AI to the graphics, ship building and the technology tree and possibilities that you have in that game, Aramada has a lot of ground to cover in order to even scratch the surface. I wish it luck, and may it have multiplayer. God i want a turn-based 4x multiplayer game so bad. So, soo bad.

Diablo 3 heading our way, come 2011

The release date on Blizzard products have always been shaky and best and ‘wasent this supposed to be out like this month? oh.. three years from now?’ at worst, and it shows with Diablo 3. It’s already being said that they are not seeing it out in 2010… and we’re already in 2009. Honestly, aslong as we’re not getting a fixed “Qx 20xx” evereyother data is useless. We even heard we’d get a Fallout 4 in 2018… so yeah.
