The NPD Group has revealed that God of War is now the fastest-selling PlayStation exclusive game since tracking began way back in 1995. Yes, 1995.

It’s no secret that GreedFall‘s developer, Spiders, has seen mixed reception for their past efforts. They’ve repeatedly attempted to make large, BioWare-inspired action-RPGs on shoestring budgets, only to be met with fairly divided responses.

GreedFall succeeds at a lot of what it sets out to do....
