Games Cheats and Reviews

Released just two weeks ago, over 2 million retails copies of L4D2 have been sold worldwide and the game appears to be on target to become one of the top selling Xbox and PC titles for the month of November. Sales to date are more than double the original title, which was released exactly one year prior to L4D2. And "Black Friday" promotions during the title’s second week of availability in North American resulted in stronger than expected sales in L4D2’s bid to become one of this year’s best selling releases on both platforms.

Peter Dille, Senior Vice President of Marketing & PlayStation Network, writes:

"Hi everyone. I hope you’re all well recovered from a tryptophan-induced holiday and are getting ready for some exciting shopping ahead (this is of course, if you haven’t already taken advantage of our great Black Friday promotions).

It’s been a lot of fun rolling out the many creative executions of our "Dear PlayStation" ad campaign over the last few weeks. Kevin Butler has garnered legions of fans as he demonstrates how the PS3 "Only Does Everything" in his very unique style. In fact, even our friends and partners at Best Buy have been impressed. So much so, they approached us about a unique collaboration featuring Best Buy’s "blue shirt" campaign in which actual Best Buy employees solve customer needs. Of course, we loved the idea."

dailygamesnews.com – Microsoft has revealed details in advance of future Deal of the Week promotions and upcoming additions to Xbox Live and Games on Demand.

Saints Row 2’s “Ultor Exposed” DLC is now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace for 30 percent off its regular price. Xbox Live Gold members can download the add-on for just $7 (560 Microsoft points) this week as part of Microsoft’s “Deal of the Week” program.

What’s seven bucks get you? “Ultor Exposed” features all new missions, multiplayer maps, vehicles, as well as fresh clothing and hairstyle options for your character. It also happens to star adult film starlet Tera Patrick as — no joke — a microbiologist. That alone might be worth the price of admission.

As with all “Deal of the Week” promotions, this bargain will vanish into the ether in seven days. If you haven’t downloaded the add-on by next Monday, you’ll be stuck paying full price.
