SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 gets delayed to 2010
Last month we learned that the PSP title SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 would be hitting store shelves on November 24rd. Today, Sony has announced that the game is getting a delay to January 12th, 2010. But what gives?
Producer Mark Rogers says that the delay will give them more time to properly market the game and give it the proper attention it deserves. Then again, they probably just don’t want to release it in the same month as Modern Warfare 2.
Halo 3: ODST third fastest selling 360 game
VGChartz has recently posted up the results for the first week of sales for Halo 3: ODST and the results are sure to have both Bungie and Microsoft a bit excited. It seems that judging by “week one” sales alone, Halo 3: ODST is now the third fastest selling game of all time behind only Halo 3 and GTA IV with Gears of War 2 close behind in 4th.
However, you have to make note that ODST was released on a Tuesday while Gears of War 2 was released on a Friday, giving ODST 5 days in their first week of sales while Gears 2 only had 2. So, literally, it’s the 4th fastest selling Xbox 360 game but technically. it’s the third. Get it?
Anyways, sales were right around 1.8 million with 1.7 million of those copies being taken off store shelves in North America, 230,000 in the UK, 50,000 in France and about 20,000 in Japan.
So, it’s official, put Halo on anything and it’ll sell like hot cakes!

Forza Motorsport 3 trailer took a month to make in-game
Before we get started, if you missed the trailer that was showcased during Turn 10 Studios’ Forza 3 keynote, be sure to check it out above.
Now, the trailer is amazing itself with all of the cars perfectly choreographed but the real catch is that it was made entirely with Forza Motorsport 3’s in-game video editor. That’s right, if you had the patience you too would be able to make the above trailer using only in-game footage and software.
But just how much patience would you need? Well, when Kotaku asked the game studio how long it took them to make the trailer they responded with, “About a month.”
