Print Leading online games publisher NCsoft Europe today confirmed details
of their distribution network within Russia. Working with three of
Russia's premiere distribution companies, NCsoft has formed a solid
network for their existing portfolio of online role-play games and
paved the way for their upcoming major 2008 release; Aion – The Tower
of Eternity.
NOVIY DISK has secured 'boxed product'
distribution rights of the recently released, sci-fi MMORPG (massively
multiplayer online role play game) Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa.
Launched on the 17th January 2008, Tabula Rasa is available within the
premium-label 'ND Games', featuring localised packaging and
instructions and is available in two versions; Standard and Collector's
Edition. The title entered position #10 within the ND PC games chart*
on its week of release and powered up to position #4, confirming the
games broad appeal with players worldwide.
Service operator's
NETVILLE and YANDEX have signed 'digital' distribution agreements for
game activation codes within the NCsoft portfolio. Available from
YANDEX is Richard Garriott's pioneering sci-fi hit Tabula Rasa; the
multi-million subscription based Lineage II: The Chaotic Throne – The
Kamael and Game Time Card codes (15, 30 and 60 days) for all
subscription based titles. NETVILLE in addition distribute the super
powered MMO, City of Heroes / City of Villains and the award winning
Guild Wars franchise from ArenaNet; including Guild Wars, Guild Wars
Factions, Guild Wars Nightfall and Guild Wars: Eye of the North. All
Guild Wars titles have been localized into Russian and include a
dedicated Russian district for players.

Operations Director of NCsoft Europe. "Through our joint cooperation,
NCsoft titles are available to customers across the entire country. Our
partnerships ensure that we can meet our player's needs and prepare
them for our titles this year and beyond."

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.
