Thanks.
Request: Heavy Rain VS Beyond Two Souls
looks like TLoU can reach Uncharted 3 levels at launch! AWESOME!!
Request: Battlefield 4 (PS4), Killzone Shadow Fall (PS4)
Is the rather low level of pre-orders of Assassin's Creed IV showing that the series is starting to become fatigued? I know its still a way off of its release date but a game that normally have more pre-orders even at 30 weeks.
Also surprised Naughty Bear has a sequel considering how poorly the first one was received.
Request: Puppeteer & Remember me
i was surprised to see Dead Island: Rip tide has more pre-orders than the Original had. you know with the original not being that good, and the talk of how this games gonna be shit. I'm surprised people actually still bought it.
