Halo 3 Limited Edition case scratches discs

The problem reportedly lies with the fact that there is a poorly made plastic nub and foam disc pad holding mechanism which results in the disc's becoming loose easily.

ps3 & wii sales drop significantly as xbox 360 hardware explode

The new charts have been updated on VGChartz for the week of September 9 - September 15. Hardware sales are showing some very interesting things as Wii hardware figures drop 20% to well over 90k and Playstation 3 even drops an amazing 40% to just over 30k. This compared to Xbox 360 figures which increase by almost 20% selling nearly 90k, almost as much as the Wii.

Heavenly Sword did not impress in first week sales, with not even 80k copies. Bioshock and Metroid Prime still doing amazing with another 90k and 70k this week respectively. EA's SKATE debuted this week with just over 50k as the NHL 08 and NHL 2K8 games fail to impress.

CliffyB: Bioshock is Hands Down My Game of the Year

The latest entry on CliffyB.com reveals Cliff Bleszinki's thoughts on BioShock, which has been chosen as the Game of the Year by the lead designer of Gears of War:

Bioshock is hands down my game of the year. That's right, I said it. I was looking forward to coming home from work and firing this bad boy up throughout the entire experience. Last time that happened was RE4 and God of War(s.) I'm not just saying this because it uses our technology or because I'm friends with some of the team members, no, it is in fact a phenomenal blend of well paced horror, narrative, action and meta RPG moments.

Will Cliff change his mind after other serious candidates for the Game of the Year award arrive later this year?

Halo midnight launch cancelled!

CVG has learnt that all plans for a Halo 3 midnight launch have been pulled as Westminster council feared that too many fans would turn up, causing chaos in the streets of London in the early hours of September 26.

Halo 3 will launch on September 26 and it's quite likely that it'll bigger than the PS3 launch back in March. At least the council thinks so, as that went ahead fine. When contacted HMV knew nothing of a midnight launch for Halo 3.

A GAME employee did though: "It's opening hours as usual," we were told. "The council won't allow a midnight launch."

Ninja gaiden 2 demo awesome!!
