GameSpy Celebrates the Games of October 2008
Last month, we predicted that 2008 would be a record-setting year for connected gaming – and October continues to validate that claim. This past October, GameSpy Technology tied its record for licensed titles released in that month, continuing strong momentum that began in the Spring and now carries into the holiday season. At the close of the month, GameSpy marked the launch of its 650th licensed & shipped title.
Among the marquee “Powered by GameSpy” titles released this month: Electronic Arts’ Red Alert 3, the newest title in the revived Command & Conquer 3 franchise, which made extensive use of GameSpy’s Sake (cloud data storage) and ATLAS (stats & competition) services, and which bundled our GameSpy Comrade social gaming software; and Rockstar Games’ Midnight Club: Los Angeles, which showcases GameSpy’s abilities to deliver extensive in-game / out-of-game barrier busting community technology to all of the major console gaming platforms. Other notable titles include the independent smash World of Goo, THQ’s acclaimed Saints Row 2, and Activision’s Guitar Hero: World Tour, both on the Nintendo Wii.
