In Depth: Exercise games: can getting fit ever be fun?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 breaks pre-sales record
Techradar - All the latest technology news — Amazon has officially named Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as the biggest selling pre-order video game of all time.

The online shopping giant points out that the game is currently at one and two in its bestsellers chart – with the Xbox and PS3 versions both selling in the thousands. GTA IV defeated This has pushed it past the previous pre-sales record holder Grand Theft Auto IV. "The level of interest in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been unprecedented," said Chris ...

Gary Marshall: Modern Warfare 2: Buy this sick filth!
Techradar - All the latest technology news — If people aren't appalled by COD: Modern Warfare 2's No Russian level, something's seriously wrong with the world. A videogame where you can mow down civilians in an airport is a BAN THIS SICK FILTH campaign's wet dream, and there's simply no justification for it. You can stick worthy quotes on the "you're dead" screens all you like, Infinity Ward, but you're still encouraging pimply teenagers to hoot with joy as they head-shot ordinary people.

Techradar - All the latest technology news — Not content with hammering pre-sale records, Modern Warfare 2 has broken all sales records to achieve the best opening day sales for a game ever – selling 1.2 million copies in just 24 hours.

Price war Back in April 2008, GTA IV set a new record of one-day sales bringing in – according to MCV – 609,000 sales. Modern Warfare 2 in the same time frame sold 1.2 million. While the ...

Brits have £1.8bn in unused games
Techradar - All the latest technology news — Research by SwapGame.com has suggested that Brits are sitting on a whopping £1.8 million unused computer games. The poll of 2,000 users came to relatively obvious conclusion that the majority of gamers have a big pile of game gathering dust after being completed or merely shunted aside by newer offerings. Obviously SwapGame.com has a vested interest in persuading people to use their unused games as a means to get other games – but somewhat alarmingly it seems that the cupboard, or even the bin, are more usual ending places for old titles. Disposable gaming The survey found that 10 per cent of people threw games away and more than two ...
