Boom Blox booms at retail (worldwide)
Posted on: 07/29/2008 - By: Kevin  Shacknews tells us that Boom Blox, the deviant mindchild of Steven Spilberg and some person obsessed with square barnyard animals, has sold 450,000 copies world wide. Not a bad number for a new IP that doesn't have Wii in the beginning of the name. Japan's sell through was terrible though going to show if you don't have Final or Fantasy or Metal or Solid or Gear in your name (preferrably a combination of 2 of 3) you don't sell diddly.

E3: Geometry Wars 2
Posted on: 07/14/2008 - By: James  The game that saved the Xbox 360 early in its life is returning. This time the main difference is 4 player co-op. Co-op certainly seems to be the word of the show this year, and personally I could not be happier. Working towards a common goal is one of the best gaming experiences. Check out more here.
