Happy New Year

-

It has been one year since I started Games News Network and boy has it been a crazy ride. The last year was filled with so much video game news, controversy, releases and much more that it was an overload at times. However, we made it through it all. Now the new year has started and we can expect more of the same. With next-gen consoles looming over the horizon for Microsoft and Sony and no official announcements made for this year it will be interesting to see how they handle the reveal; I'm thinking E3. On the games front there is a lot on the way. January is set to kick off the new year with games like DmC: Devil May Cry and Anarchy Reigns with Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Bioshock Infinite and many more to follow in coming months.

 You can expect Games News Network to be on top of all the news that comes out of 2013. Expect a few changes as the months go by as I bring you my take on all the industry buzz.

 Happy New Year and game on.

When you apply this to the video game industry you get games in the various versions, from Regular to Limited Editions, to Collector’s and Deluxe Editions. In addition to these editions, retailers often take it upon themselves to offer pre-order incentives. Pre-Ordering will give you access to a specific item, weapon or accessory, a discount or some other incentive that is unique to the store to get customer to buy from that retailer. In 2011 we saw several games receive the incentives treatment and a few that received retailer specific incentives. Its now 2012 and retailers are back at it again. Mass Effect 3 and Prototype 2 have both been given retailer specific incentive months before their launch and you can guarantee a lot more will follow. As a result, gamers have to choose the incentive they really want but not necessarily from their regular retaile
