Battlefield 1943

Posted on Aug 31, 2009 05:44:27 AM

Battlefield 1943 now officially the fastest-selling game download.

With the inclusion of only three tweaked multiplayer maps, some gaming fans were not holding out much hope for Battlefield 1943, but with a download price of just $15 reflecting the somewhat limited content, Electronic Arts’ (EA) latest online release has shot off the virtual shelves and is breaking records left right and center.

In fact, Battlefield 1943 has notched up a massive 600,000 purchases since its launch, making it the fastest selling day-one and week-one download release to ever hit Xbox Live’s global network, rather than just attracting players to the point of merely selling well.

Hitting the market as the multiplayer sequel to the hugely popular World War II shooter Battlefield 1942, the new release caters for up to 24 players across the existing Pacific gameplay environments of Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. EA had initially locked off a fourth map called Coral Sea, promising to unlock it on each respective platform when its gamers amassed an online kill count of 43 million. However, after players collectively reached 43 million kills, their respective console versions received access to the additional Coral Sea map.

With the Xbox 360 sporting a stronger rate of adoption, that figure of 43 million was surpassed with ease on Xbox Live in a mere five days – although PlayStation Network players were not far behind, reaching the required mark in a respectable eight days.

The Kingdom of Loathing – KOL aka KingdomofLoathing

Posted on Aug 16, 2009 05:59:10 AM

Strategy and satire make up for stick-man graphics in The Kingdom of Loathing.

The Kingdom of Loathing, or KoL as it is popularly known among avid gamers, is meant for those who get a thrill out of challenging puzzles and a satirical edge.

KOL Kingdom of Loathing is a darkly funny, browser-based, multiplayer role-playing game designed and operated by Asymmetric Publications. The creators Zack “Jick” Johnson and writer Josh “Mr. Skullhead” are included in the operation of the web browser-based game. This player turn-based MMORPG makes up for its lack of graphical sophistication – with most of the game world drawn in a crude stick-figure style and hardly any animation at all — with clever writing and a bizarre, complex world that takes months to explore entirely. This is possibly also the only game where a player can get hopelessly addicted to goofballs and then ascend to a higher plane of existence within a brief span of 15 minutes.
