All the titles showcased will be shipping in 2009.
Adventures To Go (PSP)
It's adventure served your
way! In this hilarious and innovative strategy RPG, players take
control of Finn Courtland and his band of misfits in their quest for
fame and riches. Each dungeon is randomly generated according to the
player's specifications, so the game offers endless replayability and a
guarantee of new surprises every time players pick it up. The
grid-based battles challenge players to think strategically and make
the best use of each character's abilities.
Animal Kingdom:
Wildlife Expedition (Wii) In Animal Kingdom: Wildlife Expedition,
players take on the role of a wildlife photographer exploring the
exotic and diverse wildlife of Animal Island. Each day, they'll be
given new photo assignments, such as taking pictures of particular
animals, an animal herd, or an animal in a particular pose. Players
will see a variety of exotic wildlife on their expedition, including
gazelles, gorillas, and elephants.
Each animal is realistically detailed and behaves just like the real thing!
Afrika (PS3)
Explore the wildlife of Africa in this revolutionary safari game!
Players
will capture lifelike images of everything from lions and zebras to
giraffes and cheetahs in this breathtaking PlayStation® 3 game that
features photorealistic environments and animals that move and behave
exactly like their real-world counterparts. Like real-life
photographers, players will need to be careful if they want to take
photos of the animals without disturbing them, and make the best use of
their equipment in order to capture that perfect shot. The photography
in the game is as meticulously modeled as the animals themselves;
players will need to learn to compose their photographs with the eye of
a professional photographer if they want to earn top dollar. Money can
be used to purchase new licensed cameras and equipment, all of which
behave just like their real-world counterparts.
Cheer We Go! (DS)
Take
on the role of a cheerleader in this exciting rhythm adventure game!
Use your stylus to guide your cheerleader through increasingly complex
dances and cheerleading routines. The game's story mode takes players
on an adventure through school as they try to work their way up to star
cheerleader! Players can completely customize their character, enjoy a
variety of mini-games, and may just find a little romance as they
strive to become the best cheerleader in the school!
Harvest Moon: Animal Parade (Wii)
In
Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, a divine tree which once stood in the
middle of the Harvest Goddess' pond has begun to weaken, the creatures
are beginning to leave the land, and the five bells have lost their
power. Only the strength of the Harvest King can help revive the earth
and bring the tree back to life. It's up to the player to ring the five
bells, bring the Harvest King back to the island, and help revive the
Goddess' tree and the land. Players will also help the ringmaster when
the circus rolls into town. When the giraffe, hippo, and lion escape,
players have to find them, befriend them, and bring them back to save
the show! Players will find plenty of activities to experience in
Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, including cultivating crops and caring for
wild and exotic animals. Players can take their exotic pets out for
walks, teach them tricks, and even ride them around town!
Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming (DS)
Something
strange is happening on Sunny Island. Crops are popping up everywhere
and growing out of control! If something isn't done soon, the
once-tranquil island will be buried in an avalanche of vegetables!
It's
up to the players to solve the mystery of this produce predicament as
they try to tame the crops and gather as many vegetables as they can.
Set in the world of the recent DS hit Harvest
Moon: Island of
Happiness, Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming continues the tale of the
island and its residents. Players can choose from 12 playable
characters, each with their own unique story. See how the mystery
unfolds from each character's perspective, and who they meet along the
way. The game features a variety of modes including Story Mode, the
brain-teasing Mission Mode, and the action-puzzle excitement of Score
Attack and Free Play Modes. Players can test their farming skills
against their friends and family in multiplayer. Players can also
unlock character art, music, and some special surprises in the
Collection Room.
Harvest Moon: My Little Shop (WiiWare)
Harvest
Moon comes to WiiWare! You've just opened a shop in Clover Town. It's
up to you to decide what items you're going to stock.
Once you
decide what to stock, you'll make the items in a series of fun and
exciting minigames using the Wii Remote. Can you build a bustling
business that will help Clover Town prosper?
Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands (DS)
The
islands are in peril! Years ago, a powerful earthquake struck the
Sunshine Islands. In Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands, it's up to the
player to raise the sunken islands by finding the magical Sun Stones.
By
finding and collecting the Sun Stones, and using them to unlock the
islands, wild animals and crops, players can bring peace and prosperity
to the Sunshine Islands and prevent such a disaster from ever striking
again. Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands continues the story of Harvest
Moon: Island of Happiness. Players will encounter all of the beloved
characters from that game, as well as a number of new characters.
Players will grow and harvest crops, care for animals, mine, fish, and
compete in festival events in their quest to restore the Sunshine
Islands to their former glory. With a little luck, they may even find
true love and start a family along the way.
Reel Fishing: Angler's Dream (Wii)
Reel
Fishing: Angler's Dream brings the most true-to-life fishing experience
yet to the Nintendo Wii! Featuring a magnificent 3D fishing engine,
lifelike fish, and soothing environmental sounds, Reel Fishing:
Angler's Dream puts players on the banks of pristine lakes, raging
rivers, and tropical oceans filled with the biggest, fiercest fish
around. Players will be able to keep their best catches in aquariums,
grow them, and then release back into the wild for an even bigger
challenge. Get expert advice from the wise Fishing Master and learn how
to fish like a pro. With a variety of realistic stages, tons of fresh
and saltwater fish, and over 100 pieces of tackle, players can really
make their fishing experience their own. Special Boss Fish will
challenge even the most veteran anglers. Players can also take a more
competitive approach to fishing with Versus Mode and compete with 1-4
other players. Players can try their hand at lure, bait, and fly
fishing, using the WiiT Remote as a rod, and the NunchukT as a reel.
With all the sights, sounds, and action of real fishing, Reel Fishing:
Angler's Dream is the closest you can get to the real-life fishing
without putting on your waders!
Squishy Tank (DS)
Squishy
Tank is a fun-filled puzzle adventure game! The gameplay challenges
players to quickly match and destroy tiles before they run out of time.
Wacky items and powerups keep the action fresh and exciting. The game
also features a story mode that's sure to charm players of all ages
with its whimsical characters and dialog.

Although it does not include all the patch notes, I thought I'd add this now so you get the general idea of what will change in the next major World of Warcraft Patch 2.4.0.
The image on the Blizzard Entertainment Splash Page is updated, continuing to raise expectations that an announcement is forthcoming from this weekend's Worldwide Invitational event.
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that The Sims Castaway Stories for the PC is on store shelves across Europe.
Tornado & LightHouse PhysX Mod maps for UT3 ready for download now.
Although Pro Street has been released, EA continues to create new patches for Carbon.
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.
"A murder?...a suicide?...an accident?...a coincidence?... Follow the evidence and find the moment of truth. It's all about the evidence and more like the show than ever" We'll see...
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
must have rogue macros
must have priest macros
must have mage macros
must have druid macros
Just for you, some Medieval 2 cheats.
