Despite some criticism about the available deals, Amazon's special Prime Day sales event--meant to celebrate the company's 20th anniversary--was a big success. The online retail behemoth for a subscription.

According to Amazon's internal data, the retailer sold 398 items per second, while total worldwide orders rose 266 percent over July 15, 2014. Of course, a significant year-on-year rise was to be expected considering the significant push Amazon made relative to last year.

It's also not very surprising to learn that Amazon plans to hold another Prime Day next year.

"Going into this, we weren't sure whether Prime Day would be a one-time thing or if it would become an annual event," Amazon said in a statement. "After yesterday's results, we'll definitely be doing this again."

Amazon also noted that July 15 saw "more new members try Prime worldwide than any single day in Amazon history."

Below are some Prime Day highlights for the US and worldwide.

Four Realms is a fantasy adventure game set in four animal nations. As a Guardian, players collect elemental gems to cast spells that summon allies, enchant enemies, and destroy barriers. Players must use these spells to unite all four realms against an evil force called the Aether, or Chaos Magic. Each level brings the player closer to achieving their goal of uniting the realms against chaos. Combining puzzle elements with the spirit of collectable card games, this RPG plans to stand out from the competition. Levels are randomized to engage the player and enhance game play.

"While I dont doubt that they have their fans, the likes of Baby Rosalina, Metal Mario, Tanooki Mario and Pink Gold Peach are generally pretty unpopular choices for Mario Kart characters. Nonetheless, each new game gives us more clone characters, and I use the word clone literally to mean another version of the same person." - Rice Digital
