ArmA 3’s Alpha Is A Big Hit, Surpassing All Previous ArmA Games Combined

ArmA III v3
Bohemia must feel really great with ArmA 3’s success. Despite the fact that the game is still in alpha stage, ArmA 3’s users are already more than those of all previous ArmA games combined. This further shows that there is a market for hardcore sim titles. That, or most of those guys purchased this new ArmA game in order to be ready for a possible DayZ mod. Either way, we are sure that Bohemia enjoys ArmA 3’s early success, so it will be interesting to see whether the final game will meet commercial success or not. Special thanks to Guru3D’s reader ‘Chillin’ for spotting it. You can view a Steamgraph with all ArmA games below, and make sure to read our Performance Overview.

Crash Bandicoot Returns
We’ve covered Crash Bandicoot Returns in the past, and we were really wondering what had happened to this Crysis mod as there weren’t any news lately. Thankfully, the team behind it broke its radio silence and revealed some interesting new information about it. First and foremost, Crash Bandicoot Returns is no longer a Crysis mod.
