  • Activision Spending $500 Million on Developing and Promoting Bungie's Destiny

    According to a report from Reuters, Activision plans on spending a mere $500 million on developing and promoting Bungie's Destiny.

    Valve Offering Refunds on Earth: Year 2066

    Earth: Year 2066 was not a good game. Sure, it was still an Early Access release but it was disturbingly bad even for that stage of release. It didn't help that the developer constantly deleted threads and posts from the Steam Community section for the game.

    Chris, an employee at Valve, stepped in today to announce that they are issuing refunds to those who purchased the game and have pulled the game from Early Access.

  • Harmonix Launches Kickstarter for PlayStation Exclusive Amplitude

    Harmonix Launches Kickstarter for PlayStation Exclusive Amplitude

    Clocking in at a mere 18 days and a goal of $775,000, Harmonix has launched a Kickstarter campaign for Amplitude. Unlike most other successful Kickstarter campaigns, this is a Kickstarter only for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 versions of the game. The original was published by Sony, so it probably stands to reason that they own the IP, hence why it's limited to just those two platforms. In the first few hours, the Kickstarter has already raised more than $107,000 towards their goal. It i...
