Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, 17 Screenshots

Here are seventeen AMAZING looking screenshots from Witcher 2; this game seriously look like it could very well have the best graphics in any game that I've ever seen. Crysis looks nice... but this game definitely beats that easily! The designers of this game paid a lot of attention to detail when making the environments.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gameplay trailer

Here is a trailer for the upcoming game, Final Fantasy Versus XIII (no relation at all to Final Fantasy XIII or Final Fantasy XIII-2, except for the origin story of this world - but they're different worlds). Square Enix just loves to confuse people by naming different games with almost the same exact name with a slight twist...

The graphics in this game look nearly realistic; however, that's just the prerendered part. They can't really put realistic graphics onto PS3 or 360, so they'll have to scale them down. I hope they release it on the upcoming Nintendo console, Stream!

Stream is more powerful than a PS3 or 360! However, a PC or Mac Pro can still be beefed up to be as powerful as you want them to be, so they should still be released on those, in my opinion, but Square Enix doesn't care much for my opinion. Even though, they would have great sales if they sold it on Steam.

Anyway, here is the trailer!

Portal, Excluding Steam sales - sells 4,000,000 copies

This is what the room below looks like after many years

Portal, the game that was originally released in the Orange Box in 2007, has sold over four million copies at retail alone; this means, not including the high amounts of sales on the digital distribution program, Steam. There are probably millions more copies that were sold on Steam that were sold at retail.

Portal 2 was just released yesterday, and there's no doubt that the sales numbers on it are as high, if not higher than Portal. Portal 2 is an awesome game; I couldn't stop playing it when I played it yesterday. I went ahead and reviewed the first of the two campaigns included with Portal 2 - you can read it HERE.

Beginning of Portal 2 - Yet many years before actual gameplay

I hope that Portal gets another installment in the series within the next few years; Portal 2 was worth every bit of hype surrounding its release, unlike many other games released in the past few years. Dragon Age II was far lower quality than the hype surrounding it led everyone to believe; DA2 wasn't the worst game ever, but it definitely will not be in a group of games that people will remember, forever.

Blind Mind Studios pulls their game from GameStop?!

Blind Mind Studios, an indie game developer, pulled their game their strategy game Star Ruler from a digital distribution site that is about to be acquired by GameStop. Blind Mind Studios' representative said a few words (down below) and basically told us that GameStop has no business being part of the PC digital distribution industry.


I have to agree with Blind Mind Studios; GameStop is too big and too powerful, and they are trying to survive when they should simply go die like any console-game seller; a console-game seller that has yet to truly embrace the digital age and continues to think that there's a place for physical stores in the world. 


GameStop also overcharges for most of their video games; Amazon.com and the wonderful Steam (the biggest digital distributor of video games) will easily beat them if they continue to embrace the digital age and rid of their stores. Amazon.com always has cheap prices and Steam always has amazing sales! There is no way for GameStop to compete, when even their sales are rip-offs.

"On March 31st, Stardock Systems announced that Impulse will be purchased by GameStop, likely some time in May. Due to a rather large list of things we detest about GameStop, Star Ruler will no longer be available for purchase on Impulse after the takeover." 
-Representative of Blind Mind Studios

“We are ending sales through Impulse due to GameStop's long, negative behavior toward the PC platform and independent games. We would never have signed onto distribution through GameStop, and being forced into this situation has only made it worse for us. We feel GameStop cannot serve as the leader of a true competitor in the digital distribution market.“
-Representative of Blind Mind Studios
