4 is so different to the rest of the series. It is more of a third person, over the shoulder view, shooter. I loved it on my GC.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare sold over 10,000,000 copies.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-99591 ... g=nefd.top

There are few things that video game publishers--or any consumer products companies, for that matter--like more than reaching big, notable milestones.

So it was with considerable pride that Activision's wholly owned Infinity Ward studio told me Tuesday that its war game, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, has just sold its 10 millionth copy.

Infinity Ward studio head Vince Zampella didn't know exactly how many units the game had sold on each platform it is available on--the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC--but did say that COD 4 had been most successful on the Xbox.

These days, monster hits like Grand Theft Auto IV and Halo 3 have gotten most of the media's attention for best-sellers, but by reaching 10 million sold, there's no doubt that COD 4 deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as any other title.

And to be sure, it's not the only game that has reached 10 million units moved--Infinity Ward said that COD 4 is one of "less than 10" games to do so since 2000--but it's still a notable milestone, especially when you consider that, at a sticker price of $60 a pop, even when considering that you can buy it for less at some retailers, Activision has raked in many hundreds of millions of dollars with the game.

Of course, one wonders how many more copies it would have sold had it been available on Nintendo's Wii. But Zampella said that Infinity Ward decided not to make the game for that console because "it just doesn't fit on the Wii. We thought it would be compromised to be on (that) platform."

Well, with Guitar Hero III, Halo 3, and Grand Theft Auto IV inspiring record-setting sales in their own right, we might easily see a few more games reach the magic 10 million mark soon. And the next Call of Duty, COD 5, which is being produced by Tryarch, not Inifinity Ward, might see even bigger numbers.

Indeed, Zampella acknowledged that COD 4 has set the bar very high for his studio, and it's hard to imagine Infinity Ward being able to come right back with another 10 million-seller.

But, COD 4 still has some juice left. He suggested that the game is still selling, that it's map pack add-on has sold 1.5 million copies, and that the main game itself is expected to sell a lot more copies this holiday season.

True or not, hats off to Infinity Ward on reaching a milestone few ever reach.

Download the civilisation revolution demo (PS3 &Xbox 360) it's a awesome game (strategy game).

[Ploid]

I'm downloading Bioshock demo to my laptop to see how well it can handle modern games. I had it for a long time but since I have been using it to browse the internet lately I thought I'd try a few pc games on it.

Stats on laptop:
AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor TK-55 (1.8 GHz, 2 x 256 KB L2 cache)

384 MB NVIDIA GeForce 7000M TurboCache

1 GB DDR2

and the other info is just hdd size and drive specs. I want to get a cheap PC san andreas, and ge all the cool mods. I can use the ps3 controller on this thing easily, only that I haven't tried it on this (vista) and not sure how well games run on vista that were made for the superior XP or later OS.

Edit: Oh shoot, I just thought about the possibility of being able to run the PC version of oblivion. That would be sick with the leveling system fix mod, and the other awesome mods out there. I hear it's hard to add the mods but that would still be ace.

Eww, lolpc gaming. No chance at oblivion running on this. Better off sticking to console, even ps2 looks better.

The MGS4 Database. A free application coming to psn that you can download. May not need MGS4*, I'm not sure yet.

From the PS Blog:

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots-database-on-the-way/comment-page-1/#comment-72496

The MGS4 Database is a free, downloadable interactive application that contains the official knowledge base of everything that is Metal Gear, reaching all the way back to the very beginning of the franchise. Including complete storylines, character profiles, relationship diagrams, and much more! The MGS4 database is a great way to catch up for someone new to Metal Gear, as well as a useful resource for any veteran of the series, with complete official details on every aspect of the intricate Metal gear lore.

The MGS4 Database also contains a special feature – if you want to make use of the database, but have not yet fully played through MGS4 yet and are worried about spoilers – all MGS4 spoilers are “blacked out” until you’ve beaten MGS4. Give it a try!

But that’s not all, within MGS4, check out the EXTRAS option of the main menu (if you haven’t already). There’s already new, free downloadable content available for the game - with new camouflage and a new music track for the in game iPod. There will be more forthcoming, so be sure to check this often!

You lucky pc people. I liked baulder's gate II: Dark Alliance on PS2 and this seems like that type of game. I want, but people are saying 2010 - 2011 release. That's a long time, I'll probably be dead by then.

You guys are acting like you don't play games. If you don't talk about games things will get boring when I'm on the webs.
