Can nothing top Halo ?

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Major Nelson’s weekly list of the top online played games surprised the gaming world. Halo 3 continued to top the charts.. Just like yours truly tops the Halo charts. With all of the new Gears of War 2 content, we were sure that game would be at the top, but Epic’s title only managed to keep its 4th place position. It was bested by the usual double dose of Call of Duty action in Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty: World at War.

On the XBLA side, the frenetic tag-based combat of Marvel vs Capcom 2 was too much for the competition, bumping down Battlefield 1943 to second place. Coming in at third was none other than ‘Splosion Man.

Wolfenstein 3D Confirmed for XBLA

Monday, May 18th, 2009

With Doom and Marathon already available on Xbox Live Arcade, id Software will now complete the classic FPS trifecta with an upcoming release of the original Wolfenstein 3D.

The confirmation came through an oddly low-key approach, with a product page for the game quietly appearing on Xbox.com (via CVG). As you can see on the page, little information is provided, with the release date still listed as “TBD.”

No doubt more information will be coming at E3 next month — as CVG speculates, there may even be a possibility that the game could be released during E3, considering id previously released Doom on XBLA during Microsoft’s X06 event in 2006. It’ll also be curious to see if id plans to release the game on the PlayStation Network as well. Stay tuned.
