My first exposure to the God of War franchise was when Sony released the re-mastered God of War Collection (God of War 1 & God of War 2) on 1 blu-ray disc including trophies. It was a great first exposure to the characters, story and game play. We all remember the ending of God of War 2 where Krato...

I can't believe my eyes the Xbox 360 outsells the Nintendo Wii? Seriously? I can't remember the last time this happened!.

I'm a week behind here but for good reason, I'm sick. I've been battling this awful cold for a week now. Anyways it's that time of the month where the NPD group releases video game hardware and software sales. So how do December do? I think the industry did quite well and hopefully all of you got what accessories, games and hardware you were looking for.
How many Nintendo DS's do you all own? seriously over 3 million units last month while the PSP 3000 and PSP GO! did a combined 654 thousand un...

While we move into a time of digital downloads the big 2 console manufacturers Microsoft and Sony are expanding there online services by allowing us to download full retail versions of games and save them to our hard drives. Nintendo simply can't offer this feature to it's customers as there is no real storage on the Nintendo Wii. Microsoft is branding there service Games on Demand while Sony has just placed them into there online store. Microsoft certainly has the edge in terms of the amount of...
