GameSpy Technology: February 2009 Titles
GameSpy Technology was up to its old tricks in February, busting records for titles shipped and continuing to spearhead the connected gaming takeover of Nintendo’s platforms.
Key titles for the month include the much anticipated F.E.A.R. 2, a multiplatform follow-up to Monolith’s 2005 sleeper shooter. And 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, about which we really don’t know quite what to say, other than, “It must be played to be believed.” Folks wondering if the Wii or DS should be taken seriously as “online” platforms need only look to the 12 titles released this month with connected gaming features.
