 They expect Warhammer Online's beta will punch through the million mark especially if the trend of signups is any indication especially once it hits the Asian markets.

EA recently acquired Pandemic, as well as BioWare, and the publisher is handling the IP for a game - so is this all true or some sinister ploy by The Joker? | |

 Ubisoft had an unnamed air combat game announced last year but now it can be confirmed as Tom Clancy's HAWX. It will have a single player campaign with support for up to 4 players in co-op mode.

 Well, maybe not, but it certainly doesn't seem pleased with the lack of success of Madden 08 on the PC. That's what Peter Moore announced today on his blog. He goes into why that decision has been made, though I don't think that it really needs explaining. Madden is a console game, although seeing it on the PC isn't a problem...but it is odd. | |
