Call of Duty: Modern Warfare day one sales beats latest Harry Potter film!

>
The first day of sales brought Activision (Publisher of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) over 310.000.000 dollar. In comparison, the latest Harry Potter film delivered one third of that revenue on day one… (104 million dollar)

It’s strange that companies and brands still seem scared to get involved with these types of games. When it’s completely normal to advertise before and after films about war, or on Discovery Channel before and after documentaries about the second World War and Hitler’s horror.
The Call of Duty series (not Modern Warfare) about the second World War has always been historically accurate and deals with great battles between the allies and German/Italian/Japanese legions. They were all historical important events and playing games opens new ways for people to become familiar with history.

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: Truck And Trailer Mods

>


Quite amazing: consumers generated virtual trucks (even with Heineken and Aldi advertising on them) for a modification of the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. There are almost one hundred trucks in this film made by German people that just love the game and … trucks…. wow. Games can have such a committed fan base…

Saw : The Video Game – Official Trailer [HD]

Not the best game to be expected – IGN gave it a 7,5, but for the fans of the gore-filled filmseries the game could be fun to play anyway.
It’s build on the Unreal engine (how many have not 😉 and it will probably feel cool to walk around (virtually) in the most of the film settings…

Old school games for BlackBerry

>

Good to see that other Mobile phones are supported with games as well. With Apple announcing it has 21.000 games available at the appstore, Nokia, Samsung and Sony opening an applications portal shortly (Sony already has, but it’s not filled with great stuff yet…), now Blackberry can add a stunning 2 extra games to their list, developed by legendary Taito.

Japanese game publisher and developer Taito announced that it has released a pair of new titles for BlackBerry devices. Space Invaders and Bust-A-Move are now available for download from the BlackBerry app store for $4.99 each.
Space Invaders is an emulated port of the company’s seminal 1978 arcade game. The classic shooter challenges players to repel screenfuls of invading alien creatures using a cannon that can slide across the bottom of the gameplay screen.

The BlackBerry version of Space Invaders includes the original monochrome version of the game, as well as later releases that feature color displays.
Bust-A-Move is a BlackBerry adaptation of Taito’s long-running bubble-bursting puzzler series. Players must aim and launch colored bubbles to create matches and combos in a single-player puzzle mode and a competitive Vs. mode.
Both games are playable using the BlackBerry’s touch screen. An alternate control method using the device’s number keys is also available in both titles.
