You know what's the best part about a game that hasn't come out yet? To get information about the game achievements, before the game itself! Anyway, this is not the only information regarding Fallout 3, because an entire planet of RPG fans is waiting for it to come out, and they have been waiting for over a decade, so...


...so let's cut the talking and see that achievements list for Fallout 3, the Xbox 360 version, don't you think? Just as a side note, be sure to remember that the game is scheduled to arrive on the 28th of October, 2008, in North America, and 31st of October, 2008, in Europe. These being said, let's see those 50 achievements made public already, for a total of 1000 Gold points!

(Spoiler alert: reading what's below may ruin the game experience for some people, but if you check it out now, and forget about it, you'll surely be able to remember only pieces of it when you get the game, so...)

Pheew! That was quite a list, but these should be the Fallout 3 Xbox 360 achievements. Even more, I guess they should also match those in the PS3 and PC versions of the game, but I can't bet on that. Just two months and then we'll get to experience everything, but for now, we should settle with dreaming about hacking terminals, or slaying monsters, or... whatever you wish!

If you're looking for video game statistics, you have a lot of chances to grow old going through all the interesting stuff you're going to find, believe me! A few days ago, we were talking about a very important question - "Are Video Games Harmful?," and after laughing a little when seeing the results of those studies we talked about back then, now we're getting really serious, because it's all about money. To be more accurate, we're going to talk about US games sales data released by NPD for the month of July, 2008. Ready or not, here we go...


Since it's all about the numbers, then let's see the video game statistics for July, shall we? Here they are...

1. NCAA Football 2009 (360): 398,000
2. Wii Fit (Wii): 370,000
3. Guitar Hero: On Tour (DS): 310,000
4. Wii Play (Wii): 284,000<-125x125 Button - right->
5. NCAA Football 2009 (PS3): 243,000
6. Soul Calibur IV (360): 219,000
7. Mario Kart Wii (Wii): 175,000
8. Rock Band (Wii): 166,000
9. Soul Calibur IV (PS3): 156,000
10. Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (360): 148,000

Even more, when talking about the video game statistics for July, we should also remember that sales topped the $591 million mark, a 41 percent increase over last year's same period. The sales for 2008 so far got really near to the $5 billion mark, but didn't manage to reach it before July's end.

Other than the above, I think the numbers speak for themselves. After all, it's sales that push game series forward or into oblivion. I am sure most of us remember at least one or two great game series that were discontinued simply because they didn't arrive at the right time, in the right place, and the public wasn't ready for them yet...

Hello again, my friends! Looking for some Mario Kart Wii cheats? Don't worry, I got'em right here! Released in April, Mario Kart Wii sold 300,000 copies on the launch day in Japan alone, and by mid-July, it reached over 1,5 million copies sold there, but its success wasn't only a Japanese business, because it sold 1.1 million copies in the US in April 2008 alone, putting it right behind the Xbox 360 version of GTA 4!

If we're talking about Mario Kart Wii cheats, then you should go grab a beer, maybe even two or three beers(just be sure you have the legal drinking age, lol!), and continue reading...or maybe even print this, because this is more than just Mario Kart Wii cheats - we have unlockable characters, karts, bikes, and more.

I know I may have forgotten something, but this should be most of it. Also, I know that "Mario Kart Wii cheats" is not the best way to describe the above, but I would rather find unlocks when looking for cheats, and those cheats are not available, than the other way around. Mario Kart Wii cheats or not, I hope you enjoyed today's tips and tricks for Mario Kart!
