Rajasthan BJP MLA booked in second rape case in 10 monthsĬhristian Michel urges U.K. Both the Playstation Move and Microsoft Kinect would have got a fair bit of traction and there seem to be a decent number of first-party titles playable on both platforms, including Sports Champions (PS Move) and Kinect Sports (MS Kinect). However, its ridiculously delayed release may adversely impact its sales despite its hardcore following.Ĭasual gamers, on the other hand, have a fair bit of stuff they can sink their teeth into. With a damage-modelling engine, refined racing mechanics and a feature set that encompasses every conceivable form of competitive racing, there is no doubt that it will be a top-class game. Rounding up the year's releases is Gran Turismo 5, Sony's much-anticipated racing simulator, a game that has been delayed for almost as long as Duke Nukem Forever. Both these games have a huge following and it will be interesting to see how the fundamental gameplay has evolved, particularly since both have undergone some changes - Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, with its new Burnout-inspired racing engine and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, with the inclusion of co-op gameplay and, strangely, a multiplayer component. Due to a controller glitch my stream had to be reset, breaking it up into two sections.
First, there's Activision's nemesis, Electronic Arts, which is releasing a rebooted version of Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, this time developed by Criterion Games, the people behind the popular Burnout franchise.Īlso set for release on the same day is the next instalment of the Assassin's Creed franchise, titled Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. November 16 is a date to look forward to, thanks to two big releases. Of course, the ‘CoD' tag alone will surely take it past the 10-million unit mark. The game itself promises to be an improvement on previous iterations, particularly in the multiplayer component which features some interesting ideas. This year, it has come out with another Call of Duty game (this time developed by Treyarch) - Call of Duty: Black Ops.Īctivision has brilliantly milked the franchise so far, and it will come as no surprise to anyone if Black Ops single-handedly conquers the holiday season with some ludicrous numbers. Last year, Activision and Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 set all sorts of sales records, selling nearly five million copies on its day of release, subsequently going on to sell over 20 million units worldwide.
Let's start with the world's largest video game publisher, Activision. With the holiday season approaching (arguably the most significant time of the year for the gaming business), publishers are lining up what they expect to be their respective ‘killer apps'. The year has been exhausting for gamers thanks to a string of quality, high-profile titles that have flooded the market since January.
