Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is new king of UK sales charts

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is new king of UK sales charts

It’s debatable whether or not the server crashing this past week was a symptom of Battlefield: Bad Company 2’s success. What is not debatable is the game’s explosive debut on the UK’s Chart-Track all-formats chart. The multiplayer-centric shooter, which we have been thoroughly enjoying, outsold the original Bad Company’s launch ...

Swag Sunday: Age of Zombies eats your braaaaaaains (PSP Minis)

Swag Sunday: Age of Zombies eats your braaaaaaains (PSP Minis)

Why do zombies eat brains? There’s usually perfectly available, good meat around, so what is with the brain-cravings? It’s not like they do anything special with them. If they saved them for some kind of a stew or possibly pulled a Sylar, then you could comprehend it, but this willy-nilly ...
