Every two years, our hearts are supposed to be filled by the Olympic spirit, as winter and summer events kick off and the best athletes in the world compete for medals and glory. Videogame developers can't possibly miss such an opportunity to cash in on these sports events, but so far the results have been nothing short of inadequate.  [...]

Some say that fear of death is worst then death itself. Highly debatable as this might be in real life, Venetica leaves no doubt about the validity of this statement, since crossing the border between the two worlds is no longer an irreversible process.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm promises to be one of the turning points for the Warcraft universe, not only advancing the story and lore, but also offering a new and more beginner friendly experience to new players who are just starting up on the game. That said, it is obvious veteran players haven't been forgotten, and as I've seen from this year's Blizzcon, everyone will be happy to know development work looks quite advanced, and we can probably expect this pack to arrive probably sooner than later.  [...]
