Bill Harris did a great job of analyzing last month’s NPD numbers and it’s really looking quite grim for the gaming industry as a whole. Nintendo looks to be doing the worst, in terms of sales as a year over year %, and Microsoft the best.
The verdict? Sales are in the toilet and console makers better be looking at price cuts if they hope to make any type of rebound by the end of the year.
Today is the final day for the pre-order bonus for Telltale Games’ release of Tales of Monkey Island. The bonus includes an exlusive DVD slipcase, a code for a free Telltale Game, and access to an exclusive section of the Telltale site. $35 gets you access to all 5 episodes of the Monkey Island game.
I just ordered mine. If you are planning on getting the game anyway then you might as well cash in on the bonus items right? You can place your order right here.

First and foremost, this is not a game for kids. Yeah, lots of bloody games carry the M rating, but Prototype earned it easily.

As a parent I cringed everytime I heard one because I tend to associate games with wholesome kid friendly entertainment, but as a mature gamer I was glad it was there because that’s the type of dialogue I’d expect to hear if there was a horde of infected zombies running amok in NYC and there was a shape shifting freak killing everyone. So I’m riding the fence on that topic. READ MORE
