Battlefield Getting a Call of Duty Elite-Style Service Makes Perfect Sense

May 15th, 2012

admin

Downloadable content has been one of the most popular trends this generation. Last year Activision tried to find out if a market exists for a subscription service for a non-MMO with Call of Duty Elite . As the latest numbers peg Elite subscriptions — which cost $50 a year , or were free with Modern Warfare 3 ‘s Hardened Edition — at 2 million, an audience does apparently exist that is willing to fork over money for more than just a la carte DLC

Starting today you can purchase Steam Wallet codes at GameStop stores. These codes, which are available in $20 and $50 denominations, can be added to a Steam account and used to purchase content through Valve’s immensely popular digital distribution service.

Jetpack Joyride Might Already be Facebook’s Best Game

May 11th, 2012

admin

As much fun as I have with many of the iOS games I play, there are few which I stick with for very long. In some cases that’s because the free or $0.99 entry point for these games have a direct correlation with the amount of depth they contain — there’s one good idea, but it’s not necessarily something you’ll want to spend more than a few hours with

Republique’s Success Demonstrates How a Kickstarter Can Adapt

May 11th, 2012

admin

It may have cut it close, but Camouflaj’s debut title, Republique , managed to reach its Kickstarter goal in the final hours before its deadline today. The project kicked off a month ago seeking $500,000 and, after an initial surge of pledges, found itself struggling to attract backers. Rather than accept the fact that there was not half a million dollars out there to fund a hardcore iOS title like this, Camouflaj adapted and now finds itself padding that $500,000 with additional pledges ahead of its 3pm Pacific deadline.

The ability to rent dedicated Battlefield 3 servers for use in the console versions of the game was a welcome addition back in March. Unfortunately, playing on these servers appears to have become the only option for playing online multiplayer, a development which understandably has fans of the game frustrated with Electronic Arts and DICE.

The Old Republic Still Going Strong, Even With a 400k Subscriber Drop

May 10th, 2012

admin

Three months ago, Electronic Arts boasted its new MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic , had amassed 1.7 million subscribers. That number is a far cry from what World of Warcraft has, though it is a very strong showing for a subscription-based MMO in a market that is becoming much more free-to-play-centric.
