REVIEW OF THE YEAR NOVEMBER DECEMBER
BLACK OPS BREAKS RECORDS: In just one day the FPS made £58m in revenue and shifted 1.4m units in the UK alone. It is the biggest day one performance of any game in the UK, outperforming last year’s Modern Warfare 2.
KINECT SELLS OUT: Microsoft’s motion controller is released and instantly sells out.
PANORAMA TURNS ON GAMES: The BBC show launched an investigation into video games addiction, accusing developers of using psychological tricks. But it was all a bit rubbish and UKIE dismissed it for not ‘progressing the debate.’ Ouch.
GT5 RELEASED: No really, it happened. Honestly, you can buy it in shops and everything. And it was worth the wait.
RETAIL VS STEAM: Major stores threatened to drop Steam-powered games ahead of their own digital download platforms.
HARMONIX FOR SALE: The acclaimed music studio was put up for sale as parent Viacom backs out of console games
UNCHARTED 3 UNCOVERED: The third in the acclaimed series is out next year in full 3D.
ANGRY HIT: Black Ops? No, the biggest seller of the year was Angry Birds. It hit 12m downloads this month.
VAT HELP: Retail called on suppliers to help with next year’s VAT increase but were left wanting.
