PvP seems too easy so far in Warhammer Online - or, at least, Mythic thinks so. Certain world objectives, such as Fortress Lords and (contested) capital city guards, are getting a makeover in terms of imbaness, becoming a constantly increasing pain in the fine asses of all those brave enough to challenge them to a fight.

If we made them epic, at least let people feel epic when defeating them, says Mythic, and I agree. Such huge events, like storming (and conquering) well defended cities, should be much harder than it takes an airplane to crash without riposte into the walls of the Pentagon.

To help players out a bit, the company is also revamping two of Warhammer's high end armor sets as follows:

- We have updated the Annihilator and Conqueror armor sets (acquired through a variety of high level RvR) to include Wards, in order to maintain parity with PvE Armor Sets.
- The Annihilator set now includes the same Ward as that offered by the Bastion Stair's Bloodlord set.
- The Conqueror set now includes the same Ward as that offered by the City Dungeon Sentinel set.
- Players who equip pieces from the Annihilator and Conqueror armor sets will be better-equipped to challenge the Fortress Lords and contested city guards. The more pieces equipped, the better defended players will be against these deadly adversaries.

And since we're casually exchanging thoughts about World of Warcraft, let's stop for a bit and take a look at this here “casual” gamer. His Internets id seems to be Bradster and, unlike most multi-boxers out there, this guy boasts with rampaging Azeroth, Outland and (soon-to-be) Northrend with no less than 36 different accounts simultaneously. Yep, you've heard me right.



While he is a keen Horde player also interested in future solo raiding (I am expecting a “how to solo Sunwell" video when he dings 70 or 80), his main reason for this is the PvP factor. Mostly, world PvP. Beause we all know Arena is the suxx0r and that resto druids and dpslolrogues are overpowered.

This guy spends around 5711 USD per year to feed his hungry subscriptions, and intends to throw another 1500 USD down the sink when Wrath of the Lich King comes out, spending this otherwise promising pile of cash on 36 copies of the expansion. His ultimate goal? Invading Stormwind, leaving Onyxia's human form pregnant (oh, wait, she's gone), and then invading Ironforge and leaving the Gnomes pregnant. With a fucking overdose of Osama Bin Laden-like nuking power, I hope.



He uses a total number of 11 computers to do this, and his crazy idea basically involves a group of drunken, berseker-mode level 80 Orc Shamans, which are currently somewhere in the 60-70 bracket.

Well, what can I say. I wish him luck and thank God he is not on my server, since I play Alliance. A ganking extravaganza at the hands of a freaking 36 angry Elemental Shaman crew is not something I would like to witness.Over the jump you can bask in awe, reading this guy's own statement regarding this. (...)

Being a World of Warcraft player myself, every time I click on the Internets, following some random WoW news-related thing, I just hope it is not yet another “welfare” announcement. And, since this year's BlizzCon was overcrowded with more interesting news, mostly regarding Diablo III and Starcraft 2, World of Warcraft's presence was incredibly scarce.

Thank god for WorldofWar.net and the likes, dedicated sites and personnel who know what questions to ask (and, most importantly, WHEN to ask them. I remember a retarded Hungarian would-be editor who worked at a Romanian magazine, asking the Diablo III crew questions about WoW, at last year's GC).



One of the recent press conferences held at BlizzCon featured a question regarding paid in-game character customization, a feature that has long been promised. Sure, we have the barber shop and all, I can get rid of all my pub hair (and Dwarven chicks can actually shave those damned hairy breasts of theirs), but this was something different. Jay Allen cleverly avoided the question until the end, just like a drunk cat on a hot tin roof, but he had to give in after a while - Yes, folks, we WILL have this thing called paid character customization. While, just like it always happens when it comes to Blizzard, we have absolutely no details about this whatsoever, we can all try and... visualize. I think i'll be getting my hot Night Elven chick a penis, just for the lulz.

Another preorder opportunity has just popped up on the steamy service known as Steam, and this time, it's all about trading goods, raping galaxies, visiting planets and colonizing worlds full of hot virgins. That's right, X3: Terran Conflict is coming soon to a PC near you. Or, more likely, in front of you.

On October 17, players will be able to download the full, digital, product worldwide, while the retail boxed outlet is heading to European stores in the same day. In case you don't know the new and enhanced features that this game will offer, here is a short list:

- A brand new user interface allow full control using only the mouse
- New and improved mouse flight controls
- Several new races and factions, including Earth's primary military force, the Terran United Space Command
- Independent, non-player owned corporations, complete with unique ships and stations, offering new friends or foes to players
- New group management system allowing for better control of large numbers of ships in your fleet
- Over 100 new ships and several new ship classes
- Double the amount of distinct weapons
- The ability to board and capture huge capital ships with your own mercenaries and soldiers

EA is known for its innate ability to spawn countless sequels, packs, add-ons and various other things over a very short period of time, and Spore isn't, God forbid, an exception. A quick tour on the EA Store website reveals Spore: Creepy & Cute Parts Pack, some sort of expansion for the publisher's recent hit, which can be already preordered for the mere price of 19.95 USD.



While I am unsure what this thing will bring to the masses, judging just by its title, a “creature pack” that actually costs this much may not be the best idea ever. But who knows, maybe it has some features that we are unaware of.

Ever wanted to know how it feels like to be in the polished shoes of a president's bodyguard? Well, here's your chance not only to get a glimpse of this excruciating and tremendously consuming profession, but also to spread some bullets and pain here and there, while you're at it.



A new first-person action game, called Secret Service, is being announced by Activision, and while it may not play by the most original scenario, it can certainly provide tactical pew pew fans with lots of enjoyment. I mean, what can be more fun for a country-loving computer gamer than to save his president's ass from a quick and... “unscheduled” terrorist attack?

Activision promises a good all-around storyline that will keep us focused on the target at hand, with plots, twists and other yada-yada, known locations, plus the possibility to solve objectives by either using brute force, or using more... orthodox methods. As in non-letal. The game is planned for PC, PlayStation 2 and X360, and will be released at the end of the year.

Sony Japan is taking the fist steps into the PSP online business, announcing that all future first-party products made for this tiny, yet classy and incredible useful console (at least while you're waiting for your booze partners to join you in an all-night alcohol session), will be also available for download. UMD releases will still ship, of course.


This probably comes as a self-marketing thingie for the PSP Store extravaganza, which was also confirmed. So, if you have a store, you are bound to have some games to fill that store. Or something. According to Gameindustry.biz, the first downloadable titles will be something alongside Secret Agent Clank, Patapon 2 and LocoRoco 2.

Japan only so far, though my bet is that a European and a North-American follow-up is soon to follow.

“Hello, my name is Unimportant Person, and I represent Bigass Money-hungry Bethesda. I am here today to let you all know that, somehow, without the knowledge of our pure (in)-breed Hell Hounds (which, if I must say, are constantly watching over the company's treasury ), a copy of Fallout 3 was leaked, flushed and obliterated into the hands of criminal gamers that should be raped in the ass in prison. Of course, we had nothing to do with it. No, Sir.”


There we have it. Before launch, Bethesda's attempt at making the Fallout universe politically correct is already beeing played by some keen X360 users all around the world. Good for them. I still wonder how the hell this version got UNINTENTIONALLY (yeah, right) in the hands of some random users, and not the PC version. Because, you know, we are used to pirated PC stuff first.

The guys over at Tom's Games are thoroughly investigating the matter, while officials from Oblivilol's mommy and daddy are trying to figure out if this is the final release code, or some earlier build.

I remember Street Fighter from the dawn of mankind. At least, from the dawn of my first pub hair. Or maybe earlier. We are vigorously awaiting the release of this Street Fighter 4 game, but, until then, here's a pretty amazing trailer, filled with Jet Li fighting scenes and lots of Chun Li.


I still have issues, though, after seeing the Jean Claude Van Damme movie all those years ago. Jesus Christ, that was worse than a Hungarian trying to speak English. And Chun Li is not that young anymore...

I don't really know if I should laugh or cry when I look at this - not to mention the fact that I am still not getting it. Blizzard is, was and will be one of the top notch game producers ever invented by loli Jesus, alongside BioWare, Black Isle, 3DO and Westwood, so I usually do not question their motives when they decide something in their marketing strategy. But their latest thing seems a little... curious.



BlizzCon, the almighty place where all geeks meet either to jerk on some naked Blood Elven chick, either to discuss Blizz's future products, was the place where they announced that Starcraft 2 will actually be a trilogy, singleplayer-wise. As in, three different games. As in, no, you will not get them all-in-one. As in, HUH?

Because of the fact that its storyline is supposed to be “of epic proportions”, the game cannot be shipped just in a mere ONE bundle, so we will get a standalone campaign for each and every race. Terran: Wings of Liberty, where our old pal Jimmy Raynor does his usual “I have no place in this freaking universe” thing, Zerg: Heart of the Swarm, where Kerrigan might actually leak those naked pictures of her when she was young, and Protoss: Legacy of the Void, where the Protoss will probably be as gay and retarded as ever. With a new Matriarch. Each campaign will feature up to 30 missions, all, of course, fully enjoyable.
