Gamer Herald - October 2010

Clash of the Titans #6

October 29th 2010 12:43
Good Morning Gamers,

Well its friday and its time for this weeks installment of Clash of the Titans. Now this weeks opponents are both really huge icons in gaming history. In one corner we have the greatest hero of all time Super Mario, and in the other corner we have the blue-haired fastest hedgehog alive Sonic the Hedgehog.

Super Mario was created by japanese video game creator Shigeru Miyamoto. He has been the main character for Nintendo and the hero in most of his games. Mario has appeared in his first game along side another nintendo character Donkey Kong. Then in 1985 the world was introduced to Super Mario Bros. video game for nintendo. The game has been such hit and since then Mario has appeared in almost 200 video game varying in different genres from driving to role-playing.


Sega realized the formula that Nintendo was using by creating a character to support the Sega brand and thus Sonic the Hedgehog was born. The first Sonic game was released in June of 1991. Since his creation Sonic has sold almost 70 million copies in his series and is one of the most well-known video game character. Sonic the Hedgehog was created as a 15 year old blue-haired hedgehog who runs faster than the speed of light and uses this ability to battle his enemies.

This battle between these two characters has been a long but now as I have seen both of these characters in the same video game. So tell us what you think who is your favorite and who will last longer?

Leave your comments below.

Dead Rising 2 Big Numbers

October 28th 2010 19:49
Good Afternoon Gamers,

So here at the Gamer Herald we love our Zombie shooters, especially the Dead Rising series. So today a report has come out from Capcom stating that the release of Dead Rising 2 has generated up to 2 Million copies shipped worldwide. The series itself has shipped 4 million copies worldwide.

Capcom has really seen great success with the release of Dead Rising 2 it has been their best seller as of this month. I think that the Zombie genre is going to get bigger as we go along in gaming. Its a genre that you can do so much with. I have seen comic books do it and the zombie shooter is one of the best selling genres in video gaming.

In two weeks Dead Rising 2: Case 0 was downloaded 500,000 times which gave Capcom 2 million dollars in revenue for the game. So I say the game is a big hit.

So leave us your comments below.

Question of the Day

October 28th 2010 12:30
Good Morning Gamers,

So its time now for today's question of the day. The question is What is your favorite scary movie or video game? As we draw near to Halloween which is in a few days its time to begin the spooks.

So I have to say one of my favorite scary video games has to be the Resident Evil series. Those games have at some point really freaked me out. Not knowing what is going to pop out or come at you. I would just sit there with my controller and wait to see what happens then BAM!! some zombie came from out of a wall or crawling around on the floor. Those games have been very good at doing that and the movies have followed behind that same feel.

So leave your comments below tell us what is your favorite scary movie or scary video game?

Also Today will have Classic Game of the Week and this week it will be NFL 2K5 the greatest football game ever made.
