If the promise of co-op goodness isn’t incentive enough to pre-order Trine 2 , it looks like Frozenbyte has sweetened up the deal. The game is now available for pre-purchase on Steam for $15, and those who take the plunge will receive access to the multiplayer beta.

It turns out that at least 5 million gamers the world over are into Battlefield enough to purchase its latest iteration in the first week. That’s according to “internal estimates” from EA, anyway, which also dubs it “the fastest-selling game in EA’s history.” Hoo-rah! Late last week, the publisher announced that the DICE-developed FPS had moved 10 million units of the game onto store shelves and noted , “sell-through is good and we are already receiving re-orders.” One week later, and it looks like the sell-through was good enough to deplete half of the original shipments. Virtual vehicle repair shops are also doing record business, as 67 million vehicles have already been destroyed in-game.
