Blizzard announced that they would be selling a Blizzard Authenticator a few weeks ago; the Blizzard Authenticator is a small device that is attached to a keychain that has a small display that will generate a 6 digit number once you press a button on it, this number changes every minute. The number is a 1 time password and cannot be reused so key loggers are useless because of it. Despite some controversy of players crying out that they shouldn't have to pay for extra security, the Authenticators sold out immediately. Your account still has the same log-in and password, but without the 6 digit number that follows, a hacker cannot get into your account. Read More...

Wrath of the Lich King Beta Opt-In Now Open Not much to say about this except that they are now taking Opt-Ins for the Beta for Wrath of the Lich King. You just need to sign into their site and click the Opt-In button when they ask for you to. This will put you in the pool for the lucky people that will be able to help Blizzard with making this expansion just as strong as the one before. Go now to be sure to get in the pool of names.

After a 7 year wait from the last Diablo, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, Diablo 3 was announced today at Blizzards Worldwide Invitational. Hope for another Diablo 3 release was squashed repeatedly when Blizzard North, responsible for the Diablo franchise, lost top developers on June 30, 2003, and again on August 1, 2005 when Blizzard Entertainment announced the closure of Blizzard North. Subtle hints have kept the hope of Diablo fans alive; on Oct 23, 2006 Richard A. Knaak, a novel writer for the Diablo series, told BlizzPlanet "I ain’t writing for a dead game. Read More...

Wii Balance Board Controls WoW I figured it was only a matter of time before it happened, so here it is. The Balance Board has been "hacked" to be used to control World of Warcraft movement. Yes, you read that right. Below is the video that shows it in the works. It starts out with a bit of Google Earth footage, but then they show a gnome running around the game. The movement and camera seem to be all controlled pretty well too. Now what does this mean? Read More...

Call of Duty 5: World at War, is the next installment in the popular CoD series. The game has been rumored to be released later this year on the PC, PS3, X360 and the Wii.

No word yet on the plot of the game. Read More...

What person hasn't thought about breaking a world record at least once in their lifetime? I remember as a kid - the Guinness books were the ones most often checked out at our schools library, so when the chance arose to finally be in the book itself, I was more excited than a fat kid in a cake factory (no offense to any of you fat kids ;p ). Every year thousands of people gather at the Dallas based anime convention, A-KON in a weekend that can only be described as PEACE, LOVE and POCKY. This year's convention though seemly the same, had one major difference - Guinness Book of World Records was there to witness our world-record breaking skills at work! Read More...

This last weekend, I joined my fellow A-KON 19 goers in a gathering of monsterous proportions. After 3 long hours of waiting, dehydration, an upset firemarshal and plently of waiting in line, 669* of us broke the record, "MOST PEOPLE DRESSED AS VIDEOGAME CHARACTERS IN ONE GATHERING". Now although the number was only 669*, I can assure you that the total number of people qualified at the con was in the 1,000s.I was proud to be amongst the many who went through an afternoon of choas to get the job done. Congratulations to everyone out there who participated!! Read More...

Video: Guitar Hero IV Demo I was perusing Kotaku.com and stumbled across this little gem. I almost busted a gut when I watched the stuff leading up to the actual demo of the game. One quote in particular. I'll wait until after you watch the video before I slap it out for you. It is awesome. Here's the Video.     Ok, now that you've had a chance to watch the video, or at least I am making the assumption. Did you catch the quote, "This is the first time you will be able to play all the instruments," said by the Activision CEO Robert Kotick. Read More...

The Battle To Get To Mount... Do you have an issue where you ignore your lady for Blizzard's huge MMO? Well here is one of the best therapy sessions for men who have said issue. One of the funniest WoW videos I have seen in quite some time. Mainly cause it is true about "the look." Watch it and you'll see what I am talking about. Read More...

Rise of the Argonauts So I swear I heard about this over a year ago. I could be wrong. Or I could be right. In either instance, this game looks like it could be epic. Pun intended as always. This game is suppose to be a pretty close telling of the Greek Legends of yore, with a little new world twist to get a broader audience than freaks like me who are all about the Greek stories. Not too sure why they are making a god, Pan, into a lowly mortal magician. There could be more going on, but from has been released here, it doesn't look that way. Read More...

Stargate Worlds Closed Beta Registration Now Open I liked the movie. There were a few good episodes of the show. I actually enjoyed playing the Table Top RPG game based on the world. So I'm actually kind of excited about this new MMO. Not sure if it will be able to addict me to MMOs, but it will get my cash when it launches. Just as it will get my time if I am chosen for the Beta. I say chosen just for the fact that the registration form doesn't ask for anything more than your connection speed. Read More...

ATLUS Co. is known for bringing some of the most niche and interesting Japanese Role-Playing Games stateside and this June 24th will be another game added to their library.  Only this time, you will be able to test the game out 2 months before the game drops stateside, as Operation Darkness hits XBL Marketplace today.  Operation Darkness is an alternate reality strategy RPG set in World War II, where Adolph Hitler is marching through Europe commanding an army of soldiers and creatures.  It's up to you to deliver a crushing blow and put an end to Hitler's evil reign.

  Today my boyfriend bought me a gift, completely out of the blue. The Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition. This gift was right up my alley and it is awesome. This is the first time Guinness has devoted a book exclusively to games. Gamer’s Edition has chapters of the most amazing gaming feats, highest scores, best selling games, and small facts that you might not know. There is also a website where you can try to make the Guinness World Record book with your own game score (www.guinnessworldrecords. Read More...
