Good marketing is the key when it comes to getting your game to produce big sales numbers. Of course, in all industries, some marketing campaigns are edgier than others, and gaming is not new to this. But what happens when your campaign gets a little...odd? Cassidee from Leviathyn.com takes a look at some of the strangest campaigns gaming's seen in its lifetime.
GameZone's Lance Liebl gives the top five big games that need a kick in the ass. These are games that are popular and profitable but that needs to do something different in order to remain on top. The list includes Call of Duty Black Ops, Madden, World of Warcraft, Halo Reach, and Grand Theft Auto IV.
For many years people have been asking a very serious question. This question first began to plague humanity in the year 2004, and it has only spread to consume more of the populous since then. A question posed by scientists, philosophers, theologians, and the common man alike, but none could come up with a definitive answer. Well, fear not good people. An answer has been found to that fateful question, that question that has been the proverbial thorn in the world’s collective side, that ques...
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm makes its debut today and Warcraft addicts are going crazy over setting up their new characters in the newest lands of Azeroth. However, other Warcraft fans over the years have gotten even crazier during unfortunate circumstances involving the immensely popular MMO. Here's the five most-interested World of Warcraft freakouts.
"Ah, the power of friendship. Getting your best bud together for a friendly co-op campaign or raid can bring forth not only a new gaming experience, but memories that will last forever (cue gag reflex). However, as these gamers prove, sometimes all it takes is a difficult level or partner to turn two friends into mortal enemies."
"Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has recently made the statement that, “The Call of Duty franchise is a force of nature. I think it is the closest thing this generation has to a Star Wars. I think it’s unique and bigger than any musical act or any movie franchise in that capacity.” While we appreciate Mr. Kotick’s enthusiasm for his product, we don’t believe there’s been a game that has come close to the cultural impact that Star Wars had when it was released in 1977. However, we humbly submit fiv..."
"These days there aren’t many game experiences that you can’t get on either a console or a PC. The only thing that hasn’t managed to cross system lines up until now is the MMO genre. It’s been attempted once or twice, most notably with Final Fantasy 11, but it has never caught-fire and become hugely successful – as it is on the PC side of things. There is millions of dollars in the MMO genre and developers everywhere are scrambling to figure out a way to create the first big-time MMO for the X..."
"Video games have been getting a bad rap by a lot of people recently, and it seems that a good deal of women (who make good points) are becoming increasingly upset at their boyfriends for spending more time playing video games than they are spending on their relationship.
Now, I don’t want to argue that women are wrong about the situation or that men are at fault for playing too much; but men do have some very good and specific reasons for involving themselves with video games. For most men..."
"Choosing the best games of a decade is a tricky thing. It's tempting to simply pick your favorite games, but that's not considering the question deeply enough. The following titles were picked for the Top Ten Games of the Decade based on quality, innovation, and cultural influence. All ten of these games are titles that gamers will still be talking about in another ten years. With that, enjoy the list!"
""Having the pleasant addition of incredibly background music to set the mood, each area felt distinctively different. The world that Blizzard created invited gamers in and had them losing track of time instantly. World of Warcraft was an addicting game that required several weeks of rehabilitation to even remove the mere thought of playing it again.""
"Just because you're in a guild doesn't mean everything ends when you gather up new members and go on loot runs. Unfortunately there is also that awful little thing known as guild drama that comes along with running a guild. Need ways to resolve it? Well, you've come to the right place."
"We scoured the internet to try and find a good number of beautiful women that play video games. The task was difficult as could be expected. In our findings we found a combination of women that have been in video game movies or voiced video game characters in games. We also found some that use games for fitness or training. Some even enjoy games with their kids.
In a handful of cases we actually struck gold. Some of these women play games fanatically and know as much about the games t..."
"Every so often, a game comes around that takes advantage of a unique concept, defines a genre, and pushes the medium of video games forward. Unfortunately, those kinds of games are almost always disregarded by gamers in favor of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Crisis 4-B and Metal Gear Solid: Snake is really old.
Those games aren't always bad in themselves; the problem is in the gamers that flock to such games. Likewise, the games on this list are not bad games; their existence merely ushere..."
