Platinum Games While some games can sell hundreds of thousands of units, not all are recognized as being Platinum Games immediately. Sometimes it can take a while for these games to be re-released at a cheaper price, as demonstrated by both Sony and Microsoft, but when they are they become part of the Platinum range on that platform. |
|
Murder Oops, I think I killed someone. |
|
Reloading Reloading is the action of replacing the magazine inside a gun. Without reloading, modern shooters would be impossible. |
