Gamersmint Review: Battlefield Bad Company 2

EA’s DICE seem like a talented bunch. A couple of years ago they gave us Mirror’s Edge which while a great innovative concept didn’t really live up to the hype. Around the same time, they also released Battlefield: Bad Company, whose USP of completely destructible environments distinguished it from rival franchises. And then last year, DICE gave us the incredible downloadable title Battlefield 1943 whose large array of vehicles caused mayhem on the war front online. This year, with their multi-platform FPS – Battlefield Bad Company 2, DICE have created a perfect amalgamation of their previous experiments, mixing in just the right amounts of creativity, fun single-player and addictive multi-player campaigns.

Reliance Big Entertainment -- a subsidiary of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group -- is a pretty big deal in India, handling a variety of different media and entertainment businesses in the region, including movies, sports, music, internet and video games. That last item is what's most important to this story, as Reliance now has a 50 percent stake in UK-based firm Codemasters, publisher of games like Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Dirt, Overlord and Grid.

Zapak Digital Entertainment, Reliance's gaming division and India's largest gaming company, will oversee Reliance's investment in Codemasters. The company also runs an online gaming portal.

"Reliance and Zapak have immense resources and will help us realize the full potential of our game coding and online excellence across so many platforms, and especially in the world's fastest growing markets," said Codemasters' CEO Rod Cousens. "The future of Codemasters has never looked brighter."

Machinarium being rejected by Microsoft, explores PSN

When Microsoft recently declined to publish indie point-and-click adventure Machinarium on Xbox Live Arcade, it raised questions as to what exactly their publishing policy is. The answer appears to be that Microsoft are open to publishing titles so long as they don't appear on other platforms. Asked for comment by Joystiq after his game was reportedly declined for the service, Machinarium designer Jakub Dvorsky explained, "They told us, 'It's not Microsoft-exclusive, we don't want it.' They didn't cite the Mac and Linux versions [as reasons for the refusal] but it's quite clear that's the reason."
Machinarium has not been outright refused space on the service. Microsoft will not allow the title to be self-published, but they will allow it on the service if the developer Amanita Design is able to find a publishing partner.
According to Dvorsky, "It means if we want to release the game on XBLA we must throw, probably, most of the profit out of the window -- to the publisher. Just because we created Mac and Linux versions."
Sony and Nintendo lack similar policies, so Dvorsky is now exploring his options on the PlayStation 3, "We submitted the game to Sony after Microsoft refused it."
Machinarium is a point-and-click adventure that's notable for its complete lack of dialogue and its striking, hand-drawn visuals. The game revolves around solving a series of braing teasers. In addition to Mac and Linux, Machinarium is currently available via Steam for $19.99. We'll let you know if it makes it to the PlayStation Network.

" What I have seen of Crysis 2 in Alpha Stages, Surpasses Killzone 2 ".

"I thought Modern Warfare 2 was an immense disappointment,"

"Halo Is Bullshit".

- Crysis 2 writer.


Now.. this b1tch is talking too much... wtf! halo 2 sold more than 7 million copies in first month.. and halo 3 sold 5 million copies. And total series sales are nearly 27 million copies..... MW2 genereated income of 8 Billion dollars by it's sales... in less than 6 months of it's release.

where, crysis reached 1 million mark after 1 year of it's release... still now.. it's sales are under 2 million.

Cant talk about halo, coz i have only played the first part. But i totally Agree that story of MW2 was utter crap (and the writer here is talking about story), and the sales of MW2 were only due to the gameplay and reputation of first installment.

Crysis may easily top Killzone 2 (on consoles), Unchartered 2 did it (imo) why not crysis. On PC no doubt.

Business people talk about sales, sales only cant justify the quality of a product or soap operas would have been the greatest thing ever on TV.

It will be very noobish of him to compare crysis(pc) with killzone 2(ps3). I think he was talking about Crysis 2(ps3)'s alpha stage.

And yea.. sales are not always the mirrors. But where is the respect!!!

dunno abt killzone 2, but MW2 was really a huge disappointment.
HALO 1 was pretty good!...halo 2 was so pathetic that i left it rite after playing the first level...what a crappy port it was..

And crysis 2 will obviously be fantastic :D

Halo is for babies..the first one was good but the second one was a crap. and so was the MW2 it had a very lame story..and i think that the writer was speaking bout dat..well its too early to say wat or how cool the new crysis2 would be. I hav seen many games making huge profits but truly are crappy. The sale of MW2 was because of two best reasons- the first is that larger part of the sale was due to pre-orders, second, it had the backing of fantastic previous game.

Crysis 2 will look good. No doubt about that...it had poor sales because it had no consoul release..and was really heavy on PC's..it still is the only game which has to be overcome by any graphics card!! It desn't matter whether its going to be awesome on the consoul or PC but i still think consoul has to go a lot to compare to a full blown PC rig. though there are some games which are really eyecandy in PS3 :p...

The thing is very few members played Halo 2 on a console.... And Halo 2 suckage on pc.. is just because of it's poor porting work.
