Battlefield Bad Company 2


Not sure what is meant by the “French” Teaser, as I can not see the video at my currently location (seriously who doesn’t have Flash installed), but wanted to post it up for everyone else to see. What you think the plot line of BFBC:2 could be? As you’ve already robbed all the gold and killed most of the bad guys. Or do Battlefield games need a story line? Should they just stick with the Multi-player aspect they have been known for over the years? Let DICE and EA know here!

Earlier this year Magic Ball was released onto the PlayStation Network and while it appeared to be just another Breakout or Arkanoid clone it now appears that gamers everywhere have embraced this as the new Breakout standard!  All games of this type should now compare themselves to Magic Ball.  Why would I make such a preposterous claim?  Well because today it was announced that Magic Ball is the #1 selling title on the PSN!

You can check out our impressions of Magic Ball in Jacob’s review located here.  In the press release, below, it also describes how Alawar commissioned Creat Studios to port Magic Ball 3 to the PlayStation 3; and might I say, they did a great job.  There are some more screen shots following but its a safe bet that if you just went and purchased Magic Ball on the PSN you will not be disappointed.  I do not believe there is a demo of Magic Ball on the PSN but there is a FREE PC demo for Magic Ball 3 available and that should give you a rough idea of how much fun Magic Ball is.  So go join the rest of the gamers on the PSN and BUY MAGIC BALL!

Official Press Release:

Magic Ball soars to the top of the Playstation Network’s sales charts

ALEXANDRIA, March 30 - Alawar Entertainment and Creat Studios are excited to announce the success of the PlayStation 3 version of Magic Ball, a 3D Breakout-style game custom-made to thrill arcade fans. Released in January, the game jumped to the number three spot among the top 10 best-selling titles on the PlayStation Network and remained in the top 10 for two months.

To take advantage of the large number of consumers with game consoles, Alawar commissioned Creat Studios to port Magic Ball 3 to the PlayStation 3. Alawar chose to port the game to the PlayStation 3 to further its phenomenal success. To date, fans have purchase over two million Magic Ball games on various platforms.

To meet the high technological standards of the PlayStation 3, Creat completely redesigned the PC version of Magic Ball 3. The game now supports resolutions of up to 720p and uses Havok, an advanced physics engine, adding unprecedented visual appeal when playing the game on a high definition television. Creat also enhanced the game’s music and audio. To date, no other casual release has as many original songs and sound effects.

Magic Ball for PlayStation 3 also features a multiplayer mode in which friends and family members can challenge each other online. In addition, the game supports expansion packs and allows users to buy new game modes and levels online. The creators of Magic Ball for PlayStation 3 will be adding new content on a frequent basis.

“It’s a pleasure to see Magic Ball 3 reborn on the PlayStation 3,”said Kirill Plotnikov, Alawar’s VP of publishing. “Owners of the console can now enjoy the breathtaking graphics and exciting gameplay this title offers. Even better, the release of Magic Ball through the PlayStation Network is just the beginning of a larger undertaking. Due to the ongoing success of the series, Magic Ball 4 is now in development and we are close to releasing an iPhone version. I fully believe casual game fans worldwide will enjoy these innovative new products.”
