The October issue of the American gaming magazine Game Informer has just landed in stores and all the review scores are already found on the internet. In this months' issue titles like Guitar Hero III, Metroid Prime 3, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, SKATE, Medal of Honor and tons of other games have all been reviewed.
Nintendo and Retro Studio are messing with your minds, as Nintendo tells CVG it's not developing a 2D Metroid game, despite hints in the latest Wii game, Metroid Prime 3.
Sales across the board were quite interesting this week. Compared to last week, hardware sales were up significantly, and the three current generation consoles (Wii/PS3/360) saw pretty big shakeups in their top ten software for the week:
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption bests former overall sales leader BioShock in its first week of release, becoming the week's single best-selling software title across all platforms in the United States. With few major Wii releases on the horizon, Corruption's place atop the chart is likely to remain uncontested over the next several weeks as well. Positive buzz from upcoming titles like My Sims and Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party could bring a reshuffling of chart positions in the near future, however.
Nintendo is sneaky, but it's more silly than anything else. This is no "hot coffee."
Nintendo has released their Q4 2007 release schedule, which contains dates for the next four months and some 2008 releases on upcoming Nintendo wii and DS games.
XBOX 360 completely dominated the Top 10 most requested titles for the week. Both Wii and PS3 didn't even come close.
As the conclusion to a trilogy would suggest, the Metroid Prime series seems to be over, and Retro Studios confirmed to Yahoo! Games they're moving onto something new:
The summer dry spell for video games came to an end last week with the arrival of "BioShock," the creepy underwater shooter that has won rave reviews and flown off store shelves.
2K Games' BioShock rules over the charts again this week while there are new best sellers on PS3, PS2 and Nintendo Wii.
The arrival of a certain underwater adventure from 2K Games seems to have finally provided the jump start 2007 needed in terms of banishing the woeful summer months and delivering a decent range of retail choice for the (incredibly patient and) discerning gamer.
Your wallet is now officially being assaulted by an avalanche of releases this week!
Nintendo Europe have officially confirmed the release dates of several big titles in Europe, and confirmed that some won't quite make their way onto the shelves in 2007 as well.
Dutch gaming-website InsideGamer.nl reports, that with a perfect review for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and eight nearly perfect scores for BioShock, both titles will most likely duke it out for the title 'best game' ever. Read more below.
Hey gang. In an interesting turn of events. Gamesradar has totally deleted any signs of their Metroid Prime 3 footage off their site. Wii.tv found it kinda odd that they'd screw up the "Nintendo Embargo" and put the footage out there weeks before launch. In another screw up, their *.FLV [aka Flash Embed Videos] files which would've seen the light of the day once they were ready to reveal the later parts of their 1 hour session have now been leaked all over Youtube.
According the latest word on the net, the first official review of the upcoming Wii exclusive game, Metroid Prime 3 : Corruption, is in from Nintendo Power. They give the game a perfect score of 10/10.
