Gamesthirst: For many gamers it's not an issue, but for others, excessive curse words in a video game just don't make sense. Some actually take offense when games come laden with f-bombs and the likes.

Certain developers have cleverly steered away from such language, making the path for a friendly rating from ESRB much easier. Others have created an option that allow gamers to bleep out the curse words. One game that comes to mind is Battlefield: Bad Company, the other game is one released today, Brutal Legend. Speaking in an interview, Double Fine's Tim Schafer was asked about the feature.

EG: Why did you include a feature that lets people bleep out the swearing?

When Ghostbusters was released, Dan Aykroyd called everyone who reserved the game to remind them to pick it up, and Mario did the same for Mario Kart early last year. This time around, Jack Black is shilling for the publisher, making calls to promote Brütal Legend. The clip is below."

Uncharted 2 added another 60,000 preorders this week to take the total to 240,000. With around ten days left until release, total preorders should be over 300,000 units by the time the game releases - suggesting a week one of around 450,000 units as suggested last week. Wii Fit Plus reached nearly 100,000 preorders before release - expect week one sales to be at least double that when the final data is in next week due to the nature of sales of a game like Wii Fit. The majority of preorders are for the stand-alone version, suggesting that a lot of early buyers will be existing owners looking to upgrade to the new version.
