Modern Warfare 3 sells a bajillion copies on day one.
We all knew that the launch of Modern Warfare 3 was going to be big, but I’m sure most wouldn’t have thought that the game would clear over $400 million in its first 24 hours of release. From just two territories.
Better luck next year.
I'm not really sure how they did it. Very rarely are sequels to launch games worse off than the original, but Kinect Sports: Season Two manages to be even less compelling than its simplistic predecessor. Not only have half of the sports been done better by Wii Sports, but the other half are so shallow in their implementation, they won't garner any of your attention or time.

Two games in one part! Can you guess which one I like better?
Different things usually happened with Nintendo in two completely different continents. While the NES arrived in 1986 in North America, Japan was already in its third year of Famicom glory. Nintendo’s then-released Famicom Disk System introduced the battery back-up save feature, eliminating the need for long over-drawn password saves. Games like Metroid and The Legend of Zelda greatly benefited from this innovation. It was also this year that Nintendo saw fit to release a sequel to Super Mario Bros, appropriately titled Super Mario Bros. 2. This was a completely different Super Mario Bros. 2 than the one North Americans got in 1988. So what in the world happened?
It's a quick look, but it's sure to get some people pumped.
Spike TV's Video Game Awards has become a popular place to stage major release reveals. Last year’s show saw the announcement of Skyrim which will see release this Friday and a host of other major releases such as Portal 2, Batman: Arkham City and the still mysterious Guillermo Del Toro’s Insane.
Good isn't always good enough.
As the owner of a brand new Kinect, I was somewhat surprised when I realized that Kinect Sports wasn't included. Being that it's clearly Microsoft's answer to Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, it would only make sense to offer it to purchasers of the hands-off peripheral. Yet it's a game sold completely separate of the peripheral at full retail price. Because Microsoft has chosen to separate the game from the peripheral, they've forced Kinect Sports to stand as its own product. After some extensive time with the game, I'm not quite sure it lives up to its steep expectations.
