14 DAY TRIAL // This week, we've talked quite a bit about Batman: Arkham Asylum that received both a detailed review on the PlayStation 3 and a quick look related to its PhysX systems on the PC, and about FIFA 10, which generated quite a bit of buzz.
Monday was all about the price war between supermarkets and specialized retailers generated by FIFA 10 in the United Kingdom. The first category is selling the football game at deep discounts, while the second one feels threatened by the move. We also found out about how the developers of God of War III were thinking of making the game a first person shooter. Had it turned out that way, millions of fans of the two other titles in the series might have gone all Kratos on the development team.
On Tuesday, it was all about the Xbox 360, as we took a quick look at the Microsoft-made gaming console that might actually be worth 1 million dollars and as we provided a “One Hour With” segment featuring the highly anticipated Halo 3: ODST.
On Wednesday, we found out that Electronic Arts entered into a deal that would see titles like Dragon Age: Origins and Army of Two: 40th Day get comic book tie-ins, while Microsoft hinted that, at launch, the motion tracking Project Natal would be quite expensive, probably costing as much as the console it is attached to.
On Thursday, we took a peek at how British rocker David Bowie would look in the upcoming LEGO Rock Band videogame, while also reporting on the latest information on Max Payne 3, which could be out by the end of the year, although that's highly unlikely.
On Friday, we found out that Left 4 Dead 2 was set to arrive on the official date in Australia, after a modified version had been approved with less gore, and we also talked about how World of Warcraft finally got a rating in the same country.
