The Prestige: Black Ops Edition.



Being within the first 10,000 people to reach Prestige 1, I find myself accomplished, and well versed in the Black Ops universe before the first week of its release is up.  If you haven’t bought it, and were considering it, I’m going to give you a short list of reasons why you should buy it, even if it isn’t what you wanted out of the sequel to the best-selling game of all time.

Kotaku is reporting sales figures for Call of Duty: Black Ops and they are huge! 5.6 million copies of the game have been sold making for about $360 million. This eclipses sales for last years most successful entertainment launch of 2009, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which sold 4.7 Million copies amounting to $310 million. I'd say Activision CEO Bobby Kotick is pretty smug right now.

I think it’s fair to say why you might have been looking at the cover of NBA 2k11 lately - Jordan is on the box.   If you’re any basketball junkie, you might already have the game based only on this fact.  If you’re like me, however, that just makes you think about buying a basketball game for the first time in a while.

Develop-Online.net is reporting that its gotten a hold of some juicy info on the retired racer's return. According to it's sources the Microsoft owned IP is being shopped around for a new developer. After the purchase of Bizarre Creations by Activision in 2007, Microsoft placed the arcade racer on the back burner with no indication of reviving the successful franchise.
