GameStop Stops Taking Pre-Orders for Medal of Honor on U.S. Military Bases

Tweet

According to a Kotaku report, all GameStop stores on U.S. military bases will no longer take pre-orders for Medal of Honor, the upcoming EA game based in Afghanistan.

As of noon today, all GameStop stores on U.S. military bases had to stop taking orders out of respect for the military personnel in Afghanistan.

According to an internal memo obtained by Kotaku, GameStop made the decision “out of respect for our past and present men and women in uniform.”

Red Dead Redemption Hits 7 Million Sales

Tweet

Talk about big numbers – Take-Two announced today that Red Dead Redemption has sold a ridiculous 6.9 million copies already and is closing in on 7 million. How impressive is that?

The sales totals put Red Dead Redemption in elite territory. In fact, if we go by VGChartz numbers, it would be the top-selling game so far this year, surpassing Wii Sports (6.65 million) and New Super Mario Bros. Wii (5.6 million). That is impressive.

Jimmy’s Vendetta Bringing Hot Action to Mafia II

Tweet

Did you hear? We kind of liked Mafia II. Sure, it’s received mixed reviews from the press, but we freaking loved it. Why? Well, it’s a great story, fantastic action, and it’s extremely well acted. And, while Empire Bay isn’t full of side quests and bonus missions, it is beautifully designed. There’s a lot of hard work that went into the game, and we highly recommend it.

Which is why we’re also really excited about Jimmy’s Vendetta, a DLC pack for the Xbox 360, and PS3 that will be available on September 7. Woah, that’s not a long ways away, is it?

Dead Rising 2 Case Zero Now Available on XBL

Tweet

The whole reason I bought an Xbox 360 in the first place, many years ago, was because of Dead Rising. Frank West’s zombie-kicking badassness was just too much to handle. I had to make the switch from the 360. And now, well, I’m excited again because Dead Rising 2 is almost here. And you know what else is here? Dead Rising 2 Case Zero. It’s available on Xbox LIVE this morning for 400 MS points. Get it while it’s hot!

Mafia II wowed me with its beginning and at the end, it couldn’t leave my thoughts. Set in the large, open-world city of Empire Bay, an amalgamation of New York and San Francisco, Mafia II is a dark, gritty look at the world of the mob.

Microsoft Brings Down the Banhammer On Reach Pirates

Tweet

By now, it’s not really news that Halo: Reach has been leaked and is available for illegal download from more than a few sites. And while the fact that a game was leaked before its release date shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody, most gamers would agree that pirating games just isn’t right. Microsoft sure seems to believe so, and has begun striking back at gamers who have downloaded the illegal version of Halo: Reach.

I’m all excited about BioShock Infinite. I was so excited that when the reveal trailer was, uh, revealed, I wrote a detailed article in which I analyzed every shot and then realized, embarrassingly, that I didn’t really need to analyze some aspects of it because, if I had looked around, previews from PC Gamer, Kotaku, etc. had gone live with the trailer. The previews provided insight into the game’s story which I could only guess it, but nonetheless, I think my preview is worth checking out since it was pretty darn accurate.

But, beyond insane rambling, this game simply looks great. Irrational created the original BioShock and System Shock. Both are standard bearers for unique, inventive, and atmospheric games. BioShock Infinite is on track to be another inventive, bold game.
