Madden 99 million Sales
Madden has been one of the most well received sports franchises of them all, and after 25 years of solid gaming, the sports series has finally hit the 99 million mark. FIFA managed to hit this title in 2010, so Madden still has competition, however, for Football fans this is a great milestone in gaming history.
The 99 million sales have also brought in over $3.7 billion total life net revenue. If that's not enough to celebrate though, this year marks Madden's 25th year, and EA Sports will be releasing the next Madden title as Madden 25, instead of Madden NFL 14.
Madden 25 will hit the PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms on August 27 later this year, and although

Game of Thrones in Minecraft
A few days ago we mentioned about Mojang's huge success with their sandbox game Minecraft, and here is a great example of why Minecraft has reached such popularity.
The game has always been very caring towards the creative and modding community, and there are plenty of channels showcasing off player-created content within the game. One piece of Minecraft art has astounded me, and it's been created in so much detail that from a distance it almost doesn’t look like Minecraft at all.
The creators, Westoroscraft has accurately built a scene straight from A Game of Thrones, the popular book and TV series. Westoroscraft has managed to fit in

Notch earns $101 Million
The success from Minecraft has been outstanding, and no one quite expected an indie developer like Mojang to score so big and compete in sales with big budget games backed by multi-billion dollar publishers, but no one person has been more pleasantly surprised than Notch, the founding developer of Minecraft.
Notch, or Markus Persson, has managed to score $101 million in 2012 from the super successful Minecraft, bringing in chart topping sales from PC, Xbox, iOS and Android. This big cash sum is also separate from other money given to other members of the indie developer Mojang, and this $101 million dollar sum has gone straight to Notch himself.

Dead Space 2 Bonus
Mass Effect was the first game to offer an incentive to playing the previous games, and playing Mass Effect 1 and 2 would reflect how characters act towards you in the following games. Dead Space isn't offering an incentive as amazing as this, however players of Dead Space 2 will receive an extra gift for having a saved file of the 2nd game on their hard drive.
If you are one to have a Dead Space 2 saved file, you will receive the Planet Cracker Plasma Cutter in the third game. The Plasma Cutter has slightly better stats than the standard starting one and has all 8 circuits unlocked right from the beginning of the game, giving players a slight advantage

Trailer Capture the Flag
Yesterday we wrote about the latest expansion from Battlefield 3, recently EA came out with a brand new trailer showing off the new game mode Capture the Flag.
The new video shows the Americans capturing the Russian flag and the ensuing epic chase of trying to get the flag back to base. It also shows off how dynamic the new dirtbike will be in this classic game mode, the whole video seems like it was pulled right off of a 1990's action movie.
Along with Capture the Flag being shown off, we were able to get a sneak peak of the new mode Air Superiority. The last scene of the video shows off the cockpit of a jet with multiple jets circling near him.
End game is releasing in March of this year. Don't forget to prepare yourself by buying yourself and your friends custom

Dead Space DLC
Visceral games are one of my favorite development teams because they consistently bring out new and original concepts for games, and the Dead Space 3 trilogy has been an extremely exciting experience to play through. I am looking forward to playing through Dead Space 3, however there's one element of the game that has almost tainted the experience.
Publishers like Activision and EA seem to eat up and spew out any method they seem fit to bring in more cash to their titles, and at times it almost ruins a games atmosphere.
Dead Space 3 will include 11 DLC packs from launch, to help new players within the game. The game has apparently been directed towards 'those

Dead Space 3 Trailer
The newest trailer for the latest iteration of Dead Space, Dead Space 3, shows Issac Clarke walking around in the snow looking for the Necromorph menace.
The trailer shows many gameplay scenes, including Clarke cooperating with other humans. During the cut scenes Phil Collin's "In the Air Tonight" is playing, providing even more ridiculousness to this terrifying looking game.
The game will release Feb. 2 for PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3.
