Kotaku AU

Earlier last week, THQ’s share value dropped 25% as a result of mediocre early reviews for Homefront posted on Metacritic but, despite that, the game has gone on to sell strongly, shifting 1 million units across all markets, with 2.5 million shipped.

Let’s face facts folks, quite often Australians get the proverbial bum rap when it comes to online gaming, particularly with dedicated servers.

Gamestop’s Balloons Don’t Fly In San Francisco

GameStop’s Homefront promotion for the Game Developers Conference involved releasing hundreds of red balloons in the downtown of one of the most environmentally conscious cities in America. Many floated into its neighbouring bay. Bad idea? Yeah, you could say that.
