One gamer analyzes the usefulness of several popular game-tracking services and picks a winner between the likes of Xfire, Raptr and Wakoopa. Each service tracks gametime between numerous gaming platforms and aggregates them in a custom gamer profile.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.
Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."
Bandai Namco announced today that its popular flight simulator-lite Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has passed another sales milestone.
Great game, and deserves all its sales. Ace Combat has always been a great series. I should replay AC7 again for the fourth time.
It’s unfortunate that Ace Combat8 won’t have vr, as the devs felt it would be too much work and they would be essentially making two games.
Would love a release of Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but I’d be fine with Ace3,4&5 remasters for PS5 with updated tightened controls.
In One Man’s Trash, the junkyard isn’t just a heap of discarded relics; it’s a labyrinth of lost dreams, hidden treasures, and satirical secrets waiting to be unearthed. Armed with a souped-up vacuum cleaner, players plunge into a pit of chaos where every discarded console, cursed cartridge, and relic of pop culture tells a story. This isn’t just about digging; it’s about obsession, fortune, and the absurd pursuit of a hard drive worth millions. Step inside the pit and discover whether fortune truly lies in the refuse.
Wakoopa? Never heard of it till now.
Ive never heard of Wakoopa but will give it a try .. but Xfire is a the biggest pile of Shite ever anyway and much prefer Raptr .. shame there isnt a android app for it though.
There's also WeGame but it's not as feature-rich as those other programs.
I only use Raptr because it works with Gamespot.
