While Avatar is quickly becoming the highest grossing film of all time, Ubisoft’s Avatar game has been met with lackluster reception and sales (read our Avatar game review here), prompting Ubisoft to reveal that they’ll spend less money on games with licensed content, like movies and books. Avatar the game has sold over 2 million units despite rather disappointing reviews, and two million would’ve been considered a success for almost every game other than highly anticipated blockbusters.

According the rumors from VG247, Bethesda is working on an Elder Scrolls MMO, and has in fact been working on it for over three years. According to an unnamed source, there are over 100 people working on the MMO, and Bethesda has already invested “tens of millions of dollars”.

While Sony never officially revealed a release date for their upcoming motion controller, it was always assumed that it was going to be released during the holiday season 2010, to compete with Microsoft’s Natal. At least now, they’ve confirmed that it will in fact be released during this Fall. Expect all the details and goodies at E3 2010.

The lucky ones who’ve decided to buy the download version of BioShock 2 on Steam can pre-order the game now. What’s more, the original BioShock is included as well, free of charge. Oh, and it’s only $45 bucks.

One of the most anticipated title of 2010, or at least, one of the most hyped ones (Capcom has spent millions on the advertising campaign), and sadly, it nothing like the game Capcom wants us to believe it is. In all aspects, Dark Void is a promising title, and in all aspects, it disappoints. It’s a dull, overrated, overexposed game that, while you will enjoy some aspects of it, you’ll forget all of it very soon.

The game is a third person sci-fi adventure game which centers around the pilot Will, who gets shot down over the Bermuda triangle, and he pretty much gets stuck there. While there, he joins the “Survivors” who are in a fight against an alien race taking over the world. Whatever. The plot is weak and the story doesn’t make sense, if you’d like to know more, read the instruction manual or some Capcom press releases. Read the rest of the Dark Void review

Mighty Japanese publisher Square Enix has revealed that the company plans to offer convertible bonds for $385 million, which can be conversed to shares later, in order to raise capital.

According to UK retailer Game, the Bad Company 2 demo will appear on February 2 on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Game previously listed the demo for January 26, which was false, so we’re not really expecting this to be true either — unless EA and DICE confirm it. The game is set for release March 4.

According to rumors over at VG247, the upcoming PlayStation Motion Controller will be renamed “Arc”. Other rumors had it called “Gem” and “Sphere” — Sony has yet to confirm or even comment on anything. Microsoft has yet to reveal their official name for “Natal” as well.

Team Fortress 2 has had updates to all classes besides the Engineer, and according to Valve’s Robin Walker, TF2 fans can rest assure that there will be updates after the Engie update, which should happen this Spring. He also said that they plan one update before the Engine update and at least one after. Which means TF2 players will have enough content for at least until the Summer.

Activision has bragged about Modern Warfare 2 selling 10 million units, solidifying that franchises always rule. However, while MW2 was riding a high wave of publicity and PR, another franchise was released around the same time; New Super Mario Bros. Wii. And it instantly became the fastest selling game in Japan, and has to date sold 3 million copies there, according to Famitsu.

Count in the sales from North America, 4 million, and Europe, 3 million, you get 10 million games sold + at least half a million in Australia and the rest of the world (like Korea and China), sales pass on the other side of 10 million, and surpass Modern Warfare 2, which was always thought to be the best selling game at this time.

It’s not. The best selling game is New Super Mario Bros Wii.
