Call of Duty Black Ops sales figures

Pre-orders of Call of Duty: Black Ops are already outnumbering those of Modern Warfare 2. Gamers don’t seem too phased with Infinity Ward not developing the next game and seem confident that Treyarch can do just as good a job if not better. It was released on November 9th 2010 and you can find out what we thought of the game in our Call of Duty Black Ops review.

Donkey Kong Country Returns

Donkey Kong Country Returns release date

Now this I did not expect. Retro Studio’s the developer of the Metroid Prime trilogy pull a surprise punch with the return of my favourite Nintendo Platformer (sorry Mario); Donkey Kong Country. After Microsoft’s acquisition of Rare Software I thought there would be no chance of a true sequel to the superb Super Nintendo game series. Yes we had Donkey Kong Jungle Beat which was an interesting rhythm based platformer that came boxed with plastic bongos, but it wasn’t a true DKC game. Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii is an awesome looking platforming side-scroller that promises to bring back...

Mario Sports Mix

Mario Sports Mix release date

On one hand Nintendo are well known for being very protective with their game franchises and characters, but on the other hand Nintendo also have made some very strange decisions and have often sold out Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom friends out for a quick buck. We’ve had; Mario Party, Paper Mario, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf and a Mario Baseball title. One thing games have in common is that they’re not in fact developed by Nintendo themselves.

Wii Party

Wii Party release date

There was a big effort from Nintendo at this year’s E3 to show a good mix of core and casual titles, Wii Party looks to be Nintendo’s very own casual title for this holiday season. If you can picture in your mind a cross between Wii Sports Resort and Mario Party then you will likely be envisaging Wii Party. 13 different party game modes and 70+ minigames that can all be play with the standard Wii Remote motion controller await you in Wii Party for Wii. Rather pleasantly this isn’t just a Mario cash in; just like Wii Sports everyone...

Just Dance 2

Just Dance 2 release date

If I asked you to think of games that have sold over 3 million on the Nintendo Wii then I wouldn’t blame you for suggesting titles such as Mario Kart and Wii Fit . But did you know that hit party game Just Dance has joined such illustrious titles in selling multiple million copies. With such success you shouldn’t be surprised to hear that Ubisoft have just announced Just Dance 2 for Wii. Featuring over 45 new tracks which are a mix of classic hits today’s chart-toppers. Combine that with a whole new overhaul to the dance system and plenty...
