| UK sales: Wii and DS up top; 360 besting PS3 at the bottom (General Games) |

Here in the States, we've grown accustomed to certain luxuries: subsidized gasoline for our free Hummers (hey, gotta stimulate that economy!); a complimentary 72oz soda with every purchase (just buy anything!); a lifetime supply of type 2 diabetes; and, of course, monthly updates from NPD charting the sales numbers of the major video game consoles. Our friends in the UK aren't so fortunate. So when we get a peek behind that curtain, we look to share it with you.
And here, courtesy of UK retailer GAME's first-half fiscal statement, we find data from GfK Chart-Track for sales up to June 27th, 2009. Unsurprisingly, Nintendo is in the lead with the DS, having sold 2.7m in the past... [Read More]

| Dead Space |

I suppose I can post a partial review of this game here.
Dead Space is a third-person action/horror/thriller (whatever you want to call it) game by EA...as Im sure most of you already know this.
I am only about 2 and a half hours into the game, but I think its a sufficient amount of time to get a taste of Dead Space. I can sum this game up in two words: Fucking Awesome! From the gameplay, to the graphics and sound, to the whole design, Dead Space succeeds in all of these departments. I havent played enough of the game to know the full story but from what I have played the story is quite deep and very engaging.
The gameplay is very well done. First of all, there is no HUD. Basically your HUD is built into your suit. The health bar is displayed in the form of lights on the back of your suit. The amount of ammo is displayed holographically on the gun. The same goes for your map, inventory, mission objectives etc. This works very well.

| Civilization Revolution |

This new version of Civilization, built for the consoles, would be great if it worked and had a few more features. Being a huge Civilization fan, I was really excited to pick up a version of the game built around online play but the dream fell apart for 3 major reasons:
-The online mode DOESN'T WORK! I think I've tried to join somewhere around 200 online games and so far only ONE didn't give me the 'failed to join game' message. In that one game we could only get 3 people because others couldn't join our game and then one player lost connection 30 minutes in. Needless to say, this is dissapointing in a game made for online play.
-There's a complete lack of subtle diplomacy with CPU players. In the computer games you could trade tech/maps/open borders, adopt religions and do all sorts of other things to get other countries on your side(or against you). In Civ Rev the computer has an AI that basically says "Can I win a war and does he have... [Read More]
