Gamers Evolved

Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto IV will be made available to those who are looking to play it on their PC. It was originally only available to PS3 and Xbox 360 owners and has sold over 8.5 million copies.

The only PC it cannot be used with are Macs. It will be released November 18th in the United Stated and November 21st in the UK. This is a big move for Rockstar Games because it opens up GTA IV to an even bigger audience than could already play it.

Soul Calibur IV is the next generation fighting game from Ubisoft. This week it made its debut and is standing out among other games by hitting the number one spot on the charts for all format games.

This is the first game produced by Namco-Bandai to debut at number one since Soul Calibur II was released in 2003. Chart Track figures have revealed that Soul Calibur IV is the fastest selling in the series so far, with 56% of first week sales on Xbox 360 and 44% on PS3.

Square Enix - the Japanese game software - stated this week that they would be launching their “Final Fantasy XIII” in 2009 in Japan. Square Enix has been keeping the due date a big secret hoping to get gamers excited.

Square Enix will offer “FF XIII” for both Sony Corp’s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Corp’s Xbox 360 in North America and Europe, and exclusively for the PS3 in Japan. The launch timings for North America and Europe have yet to be decided.

Red Steel was one of the first games to be released on the Nintendo Wii and because of this it was able to receive quite a bit in sales. It is true that many gamers were not very pleased with the game. However, it was still able to offer a few good ideas that were not pulled off well thanks to the Wii remote.

But now, with the announcement of the MotionPlus add-on, Ubisoft hopes it can make good on the promises made in the first game. “Red Steel 2 has been in development for many months now, and this new device will help us be even more precise in what we do with the product,” Ubisoft executive director Alain Corre told GamesIndustry.biz.

Nintendo announced their plans to work with Fujifilm Holdings so that they can launch their new photo service to Wii gamers. This new service will allow users to upload and print photos through the internet.

Along with news of this new feature they went on to say that they would be working hard to meet demands of the people this year so that there are no more shortages. Nintendo CEO and global president stated, “We are really intending to increase the shipments to the U.S., especially compared to last year.”
