Which game do you think is the best? I prefer GTA IV. Always liked GTA more than Saints Row

 

Which game do you think is the best? I prefer FIFA Superstars. I didn't really like NHL Superstars

 

The rise of Linux as a gaming platform seems to gather momentum every week with new games, software and hardware being confirmed to use the operating system at a growing rate. Doubtless the growth of the penguin friendly OS is in part down to the Steam Beta client for Linux, but it is great to see that Euro Truck Simulator 2 will soon be available on Linux, initially in beta form.

I haven’t used Linux at all yet, but the growing number of games that are being released on it might make me think twice about not checking it out. I wouldn’t be surprised if 2013 is the year that Linux breaks into the mainstream. Meanwhile, I just wonder how long we have to wait for ETS 2 to get released on Steam, hopefully it won’t be much longer.

 

Wii U software sales are "struggling a bit" in the US, according to Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz.

Reacting to last night's release of NPD sales data for the US market in December, Cowen said in a research note: "Software sales for the Wii U remained well behind launch levels for the original Wii and GameCube in December.
"Totals for the November-December period were -43% lower than software sales for the Wii and -50% lower than those for the GameCube."

The relatively low Wii U software sales appear to have been masked somewhat by news of the revenue generated by the platform since launch.

North American Wii U unit sales during the console's first full month failed to match those set by the Wii in December 2006, though the new system has generated more revenue in the same time frame.

Taking Wii U's relatively low software sales into account, it appears that the system's higher launch price ($300 for Basic model/$350 for Premium, compared to Wii's $250) was the main reason the new console's launch revenue exceeding its predecessor.

In the UK, no exclusive Wii U game has entered into the top 40 all format chart for the past three weeks.

Following last night's announcement of the Wii U sales results, Nintendo's stock climbed 5.6 percent in Osaka trading to close at 9,070 yen, its biggest gain since September 18.

 

Same for me

We recently announced a Better Safe Than Sorry contest – a competition in which we invited you to collect as many medals as you could in one battle – the catch being that you could only enter if you had protected your account by linking it to your mobile phone.

The contest is now over. Fifty winners were possible and they are listed below. Each winner wins 2000 gold!

Congratulations to them all.

Roll out, commanders!

 

Commanders!

The introduction of new physics in Update 8.0 made combat across the maps very intense, and brought a variety of gameplay previously unknown in World of Tanks. As a result, collisions and accidents with your metal machines are ... much more spectacular!

Thus, we have prepared this fun contest for you to show off the amount of destruction you can create at the controls of your tanks with your friends and clan members in training battles. The sky is the limit – use any map, climb the tallest hills and mountains, run at top speed, prepare mid-air collisions and gunfire! Use your imagination, and remember that the more friends you bring, the more boom you’ll have!

Capture the moment and enter the contest! There are separate categories for YouTube and screenshot submissions, and you could win a ton of gold!

This basically means you can go nuts, but the main feature has to be the in-game screenshot from the training room showing you and your friends in a dramatic in-game physics display with as much destruction as possible. Be creative and use the best camera angles to capture the moment!

Winner Selection:

Winners will be chosen in a vote of the EU community team and will be determined by how many individual votes they accumulate after all the community team members have voted.

Each EU staff member will be able to cast 10 votes, but a contest entry can only be given one vote per EU staff member. This means that each EU staff member will be able to cast 5 individual votes for the image category out of the submissions gathered, and another 5 individual votes for the YouTube category out of the submissions gathered. Final placement and results will be determined by the entries that receive the largest number of votes from the EU community staff. In the event of a draw in the original voting, a tie-breaker vote will be held.

Good luck tank commanders! May the most destructive display of in-game physics win!

-Your EU Community Team
