Poor Max

Posted on 05/14/2012 by Mr. Pink

Let this be a lesson to you, Rockstar: never try to compete with the true gods of gaming.

Seriously, though, who else is counting down the minutes to midnight? It’s almost here.

Minecraft 360 Breaks One Million Sales

Posted on 05/14/2012 by Mr. Pink

The Xbox 360 port of Minecraft has been something of a success. Not only did it shatter all previous launch day sales and play records on Xbox Live Arcade; it also surpassed the one million sales mark this morning and people have already spent 2.4 million hours playing.

Considering that it’s only been available for five days, that’s kind of insane.

Rovio Announces “Amazing Alex”

Posted on 05/13/2012 by Mr. Pink

Rovio, the Finnish game developer that gave us Angry Birds, is working on a new game.

It’s called Amazing Alex and it’s based on an iOS title called Casey’s Contraptions, which the company bought the rights to last year. It’s a physics based puzzler due out in July.

No word on platforms or pricing but my guess would be around $2.99 with a launch on iOS.

Sony Stock Drops to 31-Year Low

Posted on 05/12/2012 by Mr. Pink

Sony is in bad shape. The company announced a record ¥456.7 billion ($5.71 billion) loss this week, which sent share prices tumbling on the Tokyo Stock Exchange yesterday by an incredible 6.7%. That’s a 31-year low for the Japanese electronics giant.

It’s been four years since Sony last posted any profits. They’re going to be in a world of hurt if they don’t do something drastic to turn things around in the next fiscal year.
