Map of Paris, WoW-style

In conjunction with the Blizzard Worldwide International, Blizzard has came up with a WoW-looking map of Paris, the venue for the event this year. Pretty cool looking, and be sure to click on all the different locations on the map, you'll enjoy the subtle humor that lies within.

Suggestions for original Tom Clancy IPs

In light of the recent purchase of the name Tom Clancy by Ubisoft, here's some suggestions of new, original games that can do with Tom Clancy's name in it, in order to justify for the rumored 20 million euros that the purchase cost.

1. Tom Clancy's Girls Gone Wild
2. Tom Clancy's Island Adventure (MMO)
3. Tom Clancy and the Deathly Hallows
4. Tom Clancy's Shut Up and Jam!
5. Tom Clancy-Fu

Disclaimer: Any similarities to any existing IPs is purely coincidental. Ok, I kid.

Tom Clancy's EndWar

When Ubisoft announced EndWar a year or two back, I pretty excited at the prospect of the massively multiplayer online portion of the game. Finally, they've released an in-game trailer of game, and after looking at it, all I can say is, meh. It doesn't look as fun as I had thought after all. You be the judge yourself.

PS: My goodness, the Frag Dolls are an annoying bunch. I'd recommend watching the trailer with the sound option turned off.

busy busy busy

So so busy that I've practically zero time to play games (my last gaming moment was about a week ago, and it was just returning to town and handing in a quest for NWN; that's all). However, I'm pretty excited at some of the incoming games that are due to be released in a few months' time, namely GTA IV and MGS 4.

On the PC side, a few new trailers for Starcraft II were released recently, and my, the game looks gorgeous. I'm am one who seldom plays RTS games, but I can see myself getting this game when it's released. Then there's Red Alert 3 too, which was announced exclusively by EA through PC Gamer. The original RA was one of my favorite games back then (and also one of my first PC games); ah, the good old days where I would constantly play around with the editor file, giving my spies ammunitions belonging to that of the Cruiser and Tesla coil.

Perhaps I'd be able to find some time in the coming weeks, after my projects are over, and complete my NWN original campaign so I can proceed to Shadows of Undrentide and then Horde of the Underdark. Till then, tata.
