Minecraft is a killer app, we already knew that. What’s interesting though is that the game’s sales are not slowing down at all. According to its official site, the PC version of Minecraft has sold over 9 million copies. Guess PC gaming is not dead after all, right? Nevertheless, it’s also astonishing how successful Minecraft, a game with low system requirements, can actually be. We’re also wondering whether a next-gen version of Minecraft would boost those numbers or not. Continue reading Minecraft PC Surpasses 9 Million Sold Copies→

The latest Top 10 PC charts have been revealed and as we can see, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Football Manager 2013 are the best selling titles on Steam’s digital and UK’s retail PC charts. Naturally, UK’s PC Charts look similar to last week’s. Skyrim and Euro Truck Simulator 2 have managed to re-enter the charts. Football Manager 2013 sells like hot-cakes and seems that nothing can really top it. Far Cry 3, WoW: Mists of Pandaria and Guild Wars 2 retain their positions, while The Sims 3: Supernatural has gained two places.

Now this is something you all need to see. KBL1974 has informed us about his latest machinima movie, based on the Dark Knight (yeah, that’s Batman… but you already figured it out, didn’t you?). According to KBL1974, making this machinima was an arduous, but cathartic experience. This is also a tribute to Hans Zimmer, the great composer behind Batman: Begins’, The Dark Knight’s and The Dark Knight Rises’ scores. But anyway, this machinima looks cool as hell, so be sure to check it out! Continue reading GTAIV Dark Knight Persecution Is Perhaps The Best ‘GTA IV Batman’ Machinima You’ll Ever See→

Crytek has revealed – via the game’s official FB page – that it will announce something for Crysis 3 this Wednesday. Our guess is that the company will kick off the game’s open beta phase. Let’s not forget that Crysis 3 is planned for a February release, meaning that this open beta will act as a demo and – as you may have guessed – won’t be as useful as it was back in Crysis 1. Still, we kind of hope that Crytek will offer gamers the ability to play the new Hunted mode of it. So, stay tuned everyone for this incoming announcement and until then, enjoy – for one more time – CryEngine 3’s latest tech demo. Continue reading Big Crysis 3 Announcement Coming This Wednesday→

There is no denying that Project CARS looks outstanding. However, a lot of our readers have been asking this simple question; why do the screenshots look better than the actual game and why all those fan-made trailers cannot come close to our featured screenshots? As we said and before, that was due to different FXAA settings from those who were capturing those shots. So, is there any trailer that shows off the game’s visuals in all their glory? Yes, there is actually one and you can find it below. Yeap, time to enjoy the crisp textures and amazing details of Project CARS, in motion.
