Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal will be the European face on every box of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008.
Konami announced today that the soccer player is thé new face of PES 2008. The game will come out end this year for Sony’s PlayStation 3, Microsoft’s Xbox 360, PC, Sony’s PlayStation 2, PSP and the Nintendo DS. So far we haven’t heard anything from a Wii-version yet.
Tecmo isn’t going to E3 this year but they’re not the only company that’s not happy with the rearrangements of the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Retailer GameStop will send less employees to E3 than last year and Best Buy isn’t going at all. GameCock Media Group is another publisher that’s not going to Santa Monica. GameCock even thinks that next year E3 will be no more.
THQ has announced that they’re bringing Destroy All Humans! to Sony’s PlayStation 2, the PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the Wii.
The Wii, PSP and PS2 version is called Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed and it’s being developed by the guys at Locomotive Games.
The Xbox 360 and PlaySTation 3 version is in development with Sandblast Games and is called Destroy All Humans! Path of Furon.
The Wii-version of the game will use both of the controllers for destroying UFO’s and other robotic creatures. ‘Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed’ is planned for early 2008. The PS3 and Xbox 360 version will off course have high-definition graphics with huge worlds and a funny story. Destroy All Humans! Path of Furon is planned for the first half of 2008.
We just had some more third-party line ups in from Atari, Midway and Square-Enix.
Atari will off course show of the new Jenga game for the Nintendo Wii while Midway will show off TNA iMPACT! for the Wii, Stranglehold, Unreal Tournament 3, BlackSite: Area 51 and many more games. Square Enix will show us some more of their handheld games, but they also have software for the consoles in the pipeline. (more…)
New in, the Virtual Console of the Wii this week is Mach Rider for the NES, Yoshi for the NES and Air “Zonk” for the TurboGrafx-16. Japanese Wii-gamers got four new Virtual Console titles with Mario Story that originally came out on the Nintendo 64.
Today we’re also taking a look at the games that will be released in Europe during this hectic week. Nintendo of Japan made us happy with a list of the Wii-games that they will release on Japanese soil the next few weeks. (more…)
Today we have some charts in from Spain and Germany showing that More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima is selling pretty well in Spain, but in Germany it’s Mario Party 8 who’s on the lead.
Both Germany and Spain apparently love SingStar Pop Hits for Sony’s PlayStation 2, but The Sims 2 H&M Fashion Pack isn’t selling bad either. (more…)
John Riccitiello, Chief Executive at Electronic Arts, thinks that we gamers are bored.
Why does he think that?
Well he says that there isn’t enough innovation in the industry!
Does he blame Electronic Arts for making the same sportsgames every year again with just a few new features added to it?
No, not really, he just mentions that the it’s the whole industry’s fault. John is affraid that they’re losing casual gamers because games are too expensive, too hard to play and according to him games are too long. (more…)
And again Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS from Square-Enix is on number one of Famitsu’s most wanted list. Those Japanese gamers just can’t get even from what Square Enix is throwing at them.
The second title, Final Fantasy XIII for the PlayStation 3 is another Squenix title. And on number three is Biohazard 5, also a PS3 title. The top 3 is just the same like last week, Japanese gamers always know what they want and they don’t change their mind! (more…)
The best thing in this collection of classics is the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary: Metal Gear Solid Collection. This collection contains Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for the Sony PlayStation 2 and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the PlayStation Portable.
Metal Gear 1 and 2 are playable as well and the box contains a collection of two DVD’s as well featuring Metal Gear Saga and The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2.
Will we ever see this in the US? We’re affraid not, but the 20th anniversary trailer is cool!
Time for some more sales numbers, charts, top 5’s and more stuff like that! First of all there is a list of the games retailers from all over the world have sold the most this week. The Sims 2: H&M Stuff seems te be selling well in the UK and Lumines is a topseller again and The Darkness is off course the number one selling game for the Xbox 360. We also found some Aussie quarter sales numbers showing that Australians love the Nintendo DS. That same handheld with Dual Screens is still unstoppable in Japan while the PS3 is still trying to get settled over there. (more…)
