Case Zero tops Xbox Live charts

MCV Staff 4th February 2011 Business News

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero was the most successful Xbox Live launch in 2010.

Week one sales for the downloadable Capcom title outperformed all other XBLA games released last year, including the critically acclaimed Limbo, the first digital-only Lara Croft title and Case Zero’s own follow-up Dead Rising 2: Case West.

The rankings were released by Major Nelson, who also announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops had the most unique users playing online in the game’s first week.

Capcom shattered XBLA records for week one sales when the digital prequel to Dead Rising 2 was released in September. Case Zero topped 500,000 downloads within its first two weeks.

The publisher later announced it had purchased the game’s developer Blue Castle, now known as Capcom Games Studio Vancouver.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
