New Site Brings World of Warcraft Cooking Into The Real World

The World of Warcraft (WoW,) operated by Blizzard Entertainment, is a Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG) with over nine million players worldwide. Players can create a wide variety of characters and train them in a variety of skills, referred to as "Professions"

One of the available game professions is *cooking.* This skill allows the player to create a wide variety of in game food items. The resulting dishes usually heal or restore the character in some way, but a few have other effects, such as turning the character into a pirate or ninja.

Of course, all of these recipes and food creations have been strictly virtual. While the character eats the "Curiously Tasty Omelet" or "Savory Deviate Delight" the player eats the microwave pizza. Now, things have changed.

The Original and Strictly Unofficial World of Warcraft Cookbook, by The Tauren Chef, brings over 60 World of Warcraft Recipes into the real world of the WoW player’s kitchen and dinner table. Dishes such as Goblin Deviled Clams and Beer Basted Boar Ribs are no longer just for the electronic characters.

The author, Guinevere, states that “The World of Warcraft Cookbook contains over 60 recipes, ingredient substitutions (since items such as "murloc arms" are difficult to find in most stores,) photographs, and complete step by step instructions for cooks of all levels.”

Another important point is that the photos in the WoW cookbook are those of the real dishes as they come out of the oven. Guinevere says that cookbook and magazine photos are very carefully prepared, glued, glazed, and look great, but are no longer food that anyone would want to eat. That’s not the case here. This means that the beginning chef can cook these dishes and have them look right, the first time.

The Real World of Warcraft Cookbook is oriented towards beginning chefs, but contains material suitable for more advanced chefs as well.

The Original and Strictly Unofficial World of Warcraft Cookbook is available for just $19.97 from the Tauren Chef website, http://www.taurenchef.com

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - WII


Welcome to a brawl for the ages, where anything can happen, anyone can show up and all bets are off. In multiplayer games, characters from all Nintendo universes meet up in Nintendo locales to duke it out. In the solo mode called "The Subspace Emissary," the world of Smash Bros. is invaded by an entity called the Ancient Minister and his army of creatures, called "The Primid." Normally, characters come alive in the world of Smash Bros. to do battle, then turn back into trophies when defeated. However, the Ancient Minister starts turning characters into trophies to harness their power, then detonates bombs that suck pieces of the world back into his realm of Subspace. Eventually, all the characters must work together to defeat the invading creatures from Subspace - this is accomplished by playing through side-scrolling levels.

PC Mass Effect delayed, HUD reworked


By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot
Posted Apr 8, 2008 11:36 am PT

For a while there was consolation for PC gamers who were miffed that Grand Theft Auto IV wouldn't hit their platform of choice on April 29. That's because Mass Effect, the critically acclaimed sci-fi role-playing game, was scheduled to ship for Windows just one week later on May 6. Today, though, came wordthat the BioWare-developed, now-EA-published game's PC debut has been pushed back to one month after GTA's debut on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

"I have just confirmed with the development team that we are making a small change to the release date of Mass Effect for the PC," said BioWare community administrator Chris Priestly in a forum post last night. "The new release date for North America is May 28, 2008 and June 6, 2008 in Europe."

As to the reason for the delay, Priestly said it was to allow BioWare and Boston-based Demiurge Studios, which is handling the port, to refine the PC port. "The additional time will allow us to incorporate more play-testing feedback, add extra polish, and tune the additional features," explained the admin.

The most noticeable alteration to the PC edition of Mass Effect is the new heads-up display system, which BioWare unveiled today (pictured). As it did with the PC edition of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the developer has reworked a HUD optimized for a gamepad into one better-suited to a keyboard-and-mouse control scheme.

[UPDATE] Speaking with GameSpot, Mass Effect project director Diarmid Clarke outlined the refinements that will be included in the new HUD, which he said was "absolutely" responsible for the delay. "If it's going to work, it's got to work perfectly," he said. "It can't look like a piece bolted onto the game."

According to Clarke, the new HUD allows for much easier access to biotic powers and weapons by doing away with the radial HUD used in the 360 version. "All of the wheel stuff is now on the screen, you're not flicking between menus," he explained. "It's all just point and click now."

In particular, the new display scheme does away with the 360's inventory-management system, which drew widespread complaints for its lack of ease of use. Now, the guns will all be on the HUD screens ordered in rank of power, with customizable attachments and ammo types selectable via a drag-and-drop interface. Other keys will allow access to menu screens directly via a single key touch.

The new version of Mass Effect also takes advantage of hotkeys to let players more quickly use biotic powers. It will also have hotkeys for individual commands, which will let players issue orders to single non-player characters for improved tactical-squad combat. "It lets you be strategic and still do run-and-gun play," promised Clarke.

Clarke also said that the developer had made an array of tweaks and improvements based on criticism of the 360 Mass Effect. The dreaded long elevator rides would be sped up in certain "frequently used" conveyances, including that on the starship Normandy. The game's long loading times between interplanetary systems, another source of complaints, have also been reduced significantly. The controls for the Mako all-terrain vehicle have also been improved, and the graphics have (obviously) been optimized for PCs.

Will the improvements in the PC Mass Effect be implemented via downloadable content to the 360 Mass Effect? "You won't see any major changes to the original [360] game," a BioWare rep said. However, Clarke said it "would not be an unreasonable assumption" that many improvements would be included in Mass Effect 2, which the BioWare rep reconfirmed is already in development. "We're definitely working on it," he said.

Lineage II


Players create a character as their avatar in the game's medieval-style virtual world. Humans, Elves and Dark Elves start off in the Kingdom of Aden while Dwarves and Orcs start off in the Kingdom of Elmore (Elmore was an entirely different continent until recent versions of the game that have since joined Elmore to Aden). Players can choose from either fighter or mystic professions at the start, except for Dwarves which are only able to select the fighter profession. This choice acts as an archetype for later profession options. Each race has its own set of classes, even if humans, elves and darkelves have a lot of classes which are very similar to their counterparts in the other two races.

Players have a variety of things they can do for fun in the game. They play alone or as part of a group to fight monsters and complete quests for new skills, experience points, and items. Player versus player (PvP) is a significant portion of the game. The game provides many social, political, and economic aspects which are developed through the community and by the actions, in-game, of single players. Lineage II features siege warfare like the original. To make sure PvP stays under control, the design includes a Karma system that provides negative consequences for killing other players when they are not fighting back.

Lineage II features greatly improved third-person 3D graphics over its predecessor. The game uses the Unreal 2.0 Engine developed by Epic Games.

City of Heroes


Players begin by using the game's extensive character creation system to select an archetype and Power Sets, design a unique costume, and write a back story for their hero.

They may start their adventure in a tutorial zone known as "Outbreak" that teaches them how to play the game. It is here they learn about the level system and how to determine which enemies to attack. Players may choose to skip this tutorial if they like and head straight to one of two starting areas (Atlas Park and Galaxy City).

As a hero's security level increases by earning experience points from missions and by defeating foes, they gain benefits such as more health, more powers, more slots for holding temporary power-ups called Inspirations, and more enhancement slots for powers. Enhancements are power-ups which players can socket onto powers to improve them on more permanent terms.

Paragon City, the city in which the game takes place, is divided into different zones by giant energy walls known as "war walls." In story terms, the walls are used to prevent large scale attacks upon the city and to prevent high level enemies from entering low level areas. Zones are usually connected by road tunnels, but transportation such as the monorail, ferries and helicopters is also provided. Especially dangerous zones called hazard or trial zones, which teem with large groups of enemies, are connected by passages in the war walls guarded by the police and access is restricted to heroes with a minimum security level.

Players initially move around the zones by slowly jogging, sprinting, or by using the Prestige Power:Slide (available to owners of the special edition of the game). As heroes grow in level and accumulate more powers, they gain the ability to choose among four higher speed traveling powers: teleportation, superspeed, superjump, and fly, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. While each archetype has its own unique set of powers and abilities, all players have access to the powers from the ten Power Pools at level six. The Power Pools contain the aforementioned travel powers, as well as other generic, non-class specific powers such as Grant Invisibility, Provoke, Recall Friend, and Boxing.

There are a variety of different villain organizations and gangs in City of Heroes, each with unique attributes. Groups of villains, all from the same gang and usually all with similar security levels, roam around areas of Paragon City. Certain gangs are more likely to appear in different zones. For instance, Circle of Thorns (a magic using villain group) members can always be found in the hazard zone of Perez Park.

Missions — the City of Heroes equivalent of the quests typically found in other MMORPGs — are given by non-player character (NPC) contacts and consist of either a "hunt" mission, where heroes are given the task of arresting a certain number of villains from one of the villain groups, or a private "instanced" mission map created solely for the player's team which is inhabited by a particular gang. When heroes reach approximately level 20, they begin to receive outdoor instanced missions set in fenced-off areas as well. As heroes venture further into the mission zone, they usually have to confront a Boss villain, rescue hostages, or find a particular clue. Upon completion, heroes will be rewarded with an XP bonus, influence and occasionally a badge. Some missions may be completed at the hero's leisure, but others will have a set time limit which begins counting down as soon as the mission has been accepted from the contact. It is usually possible to tell, by reading its description, whether a mission is timed before accepting it.

Heroes can venture into mission maps together if they form a team and choose a particular member's mission as the team's objective. The difficulty level and number of the villains is adjusted according to the strength and number of the heroes grouped together. Since the release of the Issue 3 content update "A Council of War," the player is now able to set the difficulty of the missions by visiting a special NPC, the Hero Corps Field Analyst.

Amid the missions, story arcs will emerge. These are a series of missions which form a larger story, often giving the player new insights into the history and mythos of Paragon City. Sometimes, these story arcs affect the player hero directly as well. Once a story arc is completed, the hero is rewarded with experience points, enhancements and a souvenir, serving as a reminder of the character's actions.

For players who can devote a block of several hours to the game, two other types of missions with deeper storylines are available—the Task Force and the Trial. Task Forces always require a team, and consist of a series of linked missions that must be run to completion by that same team before its members may take on any additional missions. Once a Task Force has been started, additional players will not be able to join the team. In addition, Leadership of the Task Force can not be reassigned. If a Task Force member voluntarily leaves the team while the Task Force is in progress, he is unable to rejoin it. In the case somebody is involuntarily disconnected, then he will return to the Task Force when reconnected. Trials are similar to Task Forces but are usually shorter and more challenging; some share the team restrictions of a Task Force but others are taken as individual missions, though teams are still practically required. Upon completion, both Task Forces and Trials usually (but not always) provide all participants with a badge as well as a reward—either a Single Origin or a special enhancement. Several specially-designated Trials reward players with an opportunity to "respecify" their characters by choosing a different complement of superpowers or reassigning enhancements.

Teamwork is a large part of City of Heroes. Players can form supergroups (similar to other MMORPGs' guilds) reminiscent of classic comic book groups such as the X-Men or Justice League of America. Supergroups pick a name, a motto, an emblem, and two colors. Heroes can then enter "Supergroup Mode" and change the colors and emblem of their normal avatar to those of their Supergroup. Players can also form teams with other players to go on missions and fight villains together. Unlike many MMORPGs, City of Heroes has a system where players of vastly different power levels can team together; a lower-leveled player may play as the sidekick of a higher-leveled one and participate in missions which the player would normally be too weak for, or a higher-level player may act as an exemplar to a lower-leveled player, temporarily reducing the exemplar's combat level to match the lower-level player's.

The PS3 Games Mystery


By: Carver Tate
The news is out: the PS3 games console is to be launched simultaneously around the globe in November 2006. But despite the grand global launch plan for the PS3 games console, there are doubts about its impact on the market. Even more, game analysts doubt if this global launch can help Sony regain lost market because of the earlier release of Microsoft’s Xbox 360. There are also many speculations why the new PS3’s launch keeps getting delayed.

Though Sony claims that the delays were due to digital rights management or DRM troubles, many analysts believe otherwise. Analysts pose more pressing issues as reasons for the PS3 games console’s launch delays. Eiichi Katayama, an analyst from Tokyo-based Nomura Securities’ Financial & Economic Research, suggests that the delays are probably caused by the slow progress of graphics chip development. Others offer reasons such as insufficiency of appropriate software titles. However, Sony is quick to dismiss these rumors and again reiterated the problem of DRM for their Blu-ray optical drive.

Blu-ray chips provide the new console with removable PS3 storage capacity that is five times bigger than the storage provided by DVDs of older consoles. Reports that PS3’s Blu-ray and DRM feature are almost finished make them unlikely causes of delays. According to Katayama, ROM mark and BD+ licensing have already started which make copy protection technology an implausible reason. Analysts believe that if DRM technology really cause the delay, the profit from PS3 games console would not suffer too much. However, if the reasons are as they believe — graphics chip development — the sales impact would probably be the worst in Sony’s history.

Sony contradicts the analysts’ measure of the situation and denies that the delays set the PS3 games console and the company at a disadvantage behind Microsoft and Xbox 360. Xbox 360 hit the stores last year and is still the top gaming console according to market trends. Jennie Kong, Sony’s European branch’s PR manager, defends the company’s strategy and claims that the company doesn’t allow itself to be dictated by their competitors’ moves. However, history supports the analysts’ views of the matter. It can be recalled that Microsoft and Sony had once faced the same situation, only this time, Sony has the advantage with the early release of their PS2 over the first Xbox. Current Analysis’ Steve Kovsky reminds that at that time, Microsoft suffered huge losses; clearly, Sony is slated for the same fate with PS3.

If Sony pushes for the November 2006 launch, it gives the Xbox 360 a full year sales advantage. However, the PS3 games franchise’s problem does not end with the launch’s delays. Rumors and news are circulating that even before its game console’s launch, Sony is planning to outlaw its resale. Different sources claim that Sony plans to sell the new consoles with their own individual licenses. This effectively prohibits second-hand sales in person or in online shops like http://Amazon.com and http://eBay.com. In essence, buyers are only purchasing the license to use the consoles; Sony still holds the proprietorship of the product. Game analysts comment that this is a logical move, if proven true. Sony would need all the push it can have to increase the sales of individual PS3 units.

The company refrains from making comments about the allegations no licensing. They maintain that all important announcements have been made during the E3 trade show and all other announcements would be made on the PS3 games console launch. This announcement, instead of putting a stop to the rumor mill only fuel the fire. But as it is, there is nothing gamers can do but just play their PS3 games and wait.

MMORPG and Real Life


Every form of art tries to capture life and its flavor. Along with the evolution of technology, computer games are now state of the art masterpieces. Behind a successful complex game, there is a team of graphical artists, programmers, scenario writers and so on. Because of their great resemblance with reality, games we play today reveal to us a world of fantasy, sensations and experiences far beyond everyday life.

MMORPG's are at high stake these days. These games became a billion dollar industry these days thanks to the great number of players out there. What makes these games so popular is the simple fact that the player can be whatever he wants in that game. He can gain power far beyond his ordinary powers, he can have money or possessions, or he can rule that virtual fantasy world.

We must admit that these games can possess the player's mind. At first, the game is a pleasure but in many cases, the players become obsessed with it especially if it is a great game. The impact of a masterpiece virtual world is very high and losing contact with reality is only one-step away.

The larger the world is, the greater the opportunities for the players are. What makes these games wanted is the pure will of dominion. Feeling this virtual power, the player is absorbed completely into the game. Coming back from work with a bad mood, arguing with a grumpy boss, pulled over by the police, having a quarrel with his wife about her mom coming to dinner are just some of the problems one is facing daily. The idea of leaving it all behind and jumping into the action of your favorite MMORPG is great.

Game developers are trying to make things as real as possible. For example, Entropia Universe is a huge MMORPG with great graphics. The more realistic aspect of the game is that you can exchange real money for money in the game and vice versa (10PED=$1). With the money you exchange in the game's currency you can buy whatever you need inside the game in order to develop your character.

This game is just an example but there are tons of games like that out there. For every personality, there is a character and a game that will fit your idea of life. How good you want to get at it depends on you. Game developers are testing and experimenting to create more and more wonderful games. Who knows what evolution will bring in terms of virtual reality. Only the future will tell.

Shooting Games - Sharp Shooters are not Always Bad! by Peter rodrick


Someone was assassinated in a downtown area of the city last morning! The INTERPOL thinks of some sharp shooters involved for this sinful act, who probably used the new bolt-action Centerfire Rifle from Remington with a Bushnell 3-9X scope! Do not fall from your seat...this is nothing other than the bruit we wrote!!! But now, we need some sharp shooters who take over the mission and complete it restless with flawless performance.

Not putting a reader in mystery further, let us talk clearly that shooting games are the genre of video or computer games that are gaining skyrocketing popularity. No one on this planet would hate it; irrespective of the gender and age. However, shooting style or type may differ since someone would like to be on hardcore mission where they see deserts around with no water or a battlefield with no mercy and others may like to be thousands of miles away from the earth, targeting meteorites and all the space objects from their supersonic spaceships.

This type of games cover a fairly broad spectrum of genres, which have the commonness of controlling some character or an object (like vehicle or spaceship) that is generally armed with a firearm that can be freely aimed at target or enemy to destroy or to gun down respectively. The shooters in the games that attempt to emulate life-like ballistics and characters that damage the target are often called as tactical shooters. Those that use more lenient arms are usually labeled as arcade shooters. However, whatever the type of shooter you require for shooting games, it is for sure that once you start your computer or TV with this game, you get lost in another world where you don't feel hunger or thirst!

Such type of action games includes adventure and thrill. There are several option to play these games, like many games would be solo ventures where as others may offer the players the opportunity to order a squad of characters, generally directly controlling one, the head or the chief. This chief would be giving orders to computer-controlled allies. Games that feature non-player characters that fight alongside the player but that are not directly controlled (either by switching player control or by ordering to the other characters) are not categorized under the squad-based games.

Shooting games can be played through the game CD that is readily available in the market that can be put onto the computers and played or the generation-next players who look for game players like PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo player platforms are latest devices that have different quality of sound and system that add realistic flairs to shooting games. If your pocket does not permit such type of shooting games, you can go online for free! There are plenty of websites offering online shooting games free of cost. All you need is to logon to the website, select the game and get started with your mission. Another genre - MMORPG is also a revolutionary game that rocks the net nowadays.

Shooting Games - A Great Way to Improve Alertness by Peter rodrick


There is no doubt about this that playing shooting games, one can find a great way to expand the realm of thinking, alertness and multitasking. For parents, especially for their children, shooting games are the best options to entertain them and make them alert as well. There are many parents who allow their children to spend quite a lot of time in front of the idiot box! But, then, what good does that do for children? There, the characters perform and they watch, in shooting games character perform what they do. A big difference! Isn't it? This is something like you watch a football match and feel great when David Beckham kicks the goal but it would make you feel million dollars when you are in his shoes!

If you want children to learn something while they are zoned out, probably this guessing of yours stands nowhere and you are lost. But, if you flip on the computer, get some great shooting game, you may really be able encouraging children to learn more and you encourage excellent thinking skills as well. Alertness is not something that everyone can feature well. Now, here, we are referring this to a process that comes along with solving problems, being alert so that the character playing leading role in shooting games does not get killed and an adroitness to find many secret things and finally to accomplish the mission without losing health and life.

For almost all the children, this is something in their life they struggle with. Dear mamma and dad always look after it and they become solely dependent creatures! Even many scientists favor that video games, if played in a positive way, can make their players clever and alert. This is because the character or the Hero in lead role in game is being targeted by hundreds of enemies with thousands of bullets. Where to crawl, where to hide and when to attack make player perfect in many ways and that is why, such games carry much importance than just being a video game.

Well, so too much time in front of the computer makes your child a real couch potato. It's okay since you are secured that your kid is not moving around with his friends who are gone astray! Games' genre like MMORPG has created milestone in online gaming zone and your kid does not require any company since he finds millions of guys who are available 24X7! However, it also depends upon you to make them study apart from being a real warrior in shooting games!

Many shooting games come with some latest devices or joysticks and so many games are equipped with guns that one can shoot onto the TV or computer screen. Isn't it amazing to improve shooting skills and to point out where exactly it is needed? Not surprising that your kid may become some great archer or a hardcore dart player!!!

Nevertheless, none of them is favored. Also, the graphics is nice and eye-catching, and the passionate of the game get a complex system of quests... all in all the fun is guaranteed.

Being classified among the fastest-developing online game in European history, WOW accounts has brought a new record in matter of number of accounts created, concurrency and number of servers. If we talk figures, we talk about 290,000 players that accessed WOW accounts during the first weekend. About 45% of these, created their accounts on the first they. Not to mention the 180,000 concurrent users in Europe during the first weekend, which meant a new record. As far as the number of servers is concerned, over 80 servers were put to disposal in Paris and Frankfurt in order to deal with the European launch. Moreover, whenever the number of users grows significantly new servers are ready to take the new players on.

How exactly does it work? First of all you have to follow the steps to buy WOW accounts and to create your own account. After creating such an account, the user will design a character of his own. By this, we mean that the user will create it from head to tows according to his own will and imagination, embedding his own personality, his own ideas. Therefore, WOW accounts allow you to play a personalized game, with personalized results. I mentioned earlier the teams; there are two teams: The Alliance and The Horde. Immediately after creating their character, the user can choose to fight for one team or the other, but they do not have the possibility to change teams until the end of the game. This way, speculation was anticipated and thrown out of the game. Characters can have different roles in the game, also chosen by the user. They can be: warrior, hunter, warlock, priest, mage, etc. Each character can belong to different classes of characters, according to the race. Beside this characters which are in fact avatars of the users themselves, there are also characters that cannot be created, managed, or controlloed by the users, these being enemies or helpers.

We can conclude that there is a great liberty given to the game, but under certain limits so that the game is a fair one and a game that offers motivation. Also, when you buy WOW accounts you are offered protection, so that no one can access your account but you. Everything was thought of so that the players can think only of the game and of the fun it brings along.

Free Nintendo Wii Games Just a Single Click Away - Too Good to be True?


Author: Chris McCann
When I was youngster a couple decades ago all I wanted to do was play Nintendo. I couldn't get enough. I even got my first job as a janitor at my old elementary school as a teen-ager just be be able to afford to buy more Nintendo games. If I couldn't buy them, I would trade with neighborhood kids or I would rent them at stores. I honestly couldn't get enough. Now I have a Nintendo Wii and just love it.

Last year I bought quite a few and rented tons more from the local Hollywood Video, but it was just getting so expensive. I was determined to find a better way. Well now, I'm a bit older and a bit wiser and I discovered a better way to go about getting my games from a few online websites.

There are a small handful of websites that provide you access to download unlimited amount of Nintendo Wii games online. But let me tell you there are lots of websites out there making big promises but fail to deliver. So watch out. Many will give you free games, but will also load up your PC with spyware and adware. Trust me you don't want that, been there done that. Unfortunately in my research I had to learn the hard way with that one. So be careful of some of the sites out there. Stick to the ones that have high reviews. If you do that, you will be satisfied and on your way to getting unlimited Wii games downloaded right to your computer.

Star Wars Online Role Playing Game


Name another movie that causes people to fall in line in all major movie houses days before its official distribution.

Name another movie that has endured the test of time, and 23 years after its release, is still hailed as a technological wonder in modern day cinema.

Name another movie about a time long, long ago, and a place far, far away, that has captured the imagination of three generations and still remains as a force to reckon with in the future.

Better yet, don’t name a movie. Name a franchise that is capable of all the above.

Indeed, we are talking about Star Wars. Its success, both artistic and commercial, has transcended the confines of the silver screen into the annals of popular culture. Every product related to the franchise is awaited with bated breath. And Star Wars Galaxies is no exception.

Star Wars Galaxies Was The Most Anticipated MMORPG Prior To Its Release

Star Wars Galaxies is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) that spans the known universe of George Lucas’ two trilogies. From the imperial world of Coruscant, to the dessert fields of Tatooine, to the jungles of Endor, Star Wars Galaxies perfectly represents George Lucas’ vision of his fictional universe. You could travel via a variety of interstellar ships. You could even partake of professions straight from the films themselves, like the medic, the scout, the brawler, the marksman, the entertainer, and the artisan. You’d have to pattern these professions according to the race you would choose for your character.

And Star Wars Galaxies is an MMORPG abundant with races! Whether you want to be a human like Luke Skywalker or Han Solo, or a Wookie like Chewbacca, or one of the more obscure races like the Mon Calamari or the Rodians, Star Wars Galaxies got you covered. Your race will determine your proficiencies in this MMORPG. Wookies are stronger, for instance. Humans are more balanced.

Star Wars Galaxies was the most anticipated MMORPG before it was released late in 2005. People waited for years, holding off subscriptions to other MMORPG programs, just to see what Star Wars Galaxies has to offer. The advance orders for this MMORPG are astounding. It is one of the bestselling games of 2005, even before it was officially distributed!

But Is It True That Star Wars Galaxies Is Just An MMORPG For The Fans?

There’s no denying the popularity of the Star Wars franchise to majority of our populace. As a result, anything related to the franchise is met with the highest of expectations.

In fact, these expectations are often very high that the products so released fail to meet them. This is the fate that befell Star Wars Galaxies.

Star Wars Galaxies is not a bad MMORPG, mind you. It’s just that people expected so much from this game. Star Wars Galaxies was to be their chance to live the life of a jedi or a bounty hunter, or perhaps even a hutt. But like most MMORPG programs, Star Wars Galaxies is bound by certain limitations, technical and otherwise.

As a result, people did not get everything that they have come to expect. And Star Wars Galaxies was widely viewed as a disappointment. People failed to see the splendors that the game offered. Instead, they dwelled on what this MMORPG is not.

Not all the geographies of the Star Wars universe were represented in the MMORPG, for example. And this is a big deal for many diehard Star Wars fans. In the same light, not all the races made it to this MMORPG as well.

And though there are a wide variety of professions available in Star Wars Galaxies, a majority of them are not really that engaging. Let’s face it, an MMORPG can be quite a repetitive experience, and no game is spared from this. What more when you have go through such an MMORPG doing some menial chores?

Star Wars Galaxies is also overly complicated for an MMORPG. Instead of three basic meters for HP, MP and SP, which is the usual fare for most MMORPG systems, Star Wars Galaxies has 3 meters for each category, jacking up the total number of meters you should be aware of to nine. This is quite daunting, even for the most dedicated player.

Star Wars Galaxies Remain A Force To Be Reckoned With In The MMORPG Scene

Nonetheless, with familiar places and characters, a faithful soundtrack, and a gamut of movie-inspired missions, Star Wars Galaxies is an excellent addition to the ever-expanding plethora of MMORPG offerings. It will appeal to fans of the films, most of all, but it has enough exciting features to capture the interests of MMORPG aficionados the world over.

No wonder that it has remained as one of the MMORPG programs with the most number of subscriptions, despite its flaws. Truly, Star Wars Galaxies has the Force by its side.

Xbox DVD - Xbox 360 Hd DVD and Xbox Games


First, I'll like to say the 360 HD DVD player in the Xbox 360 is great, I love it, needless to say, the Xbox 360 games are great. "Seeing is believing" they say, and what I've seen and heard of the Xbox 360 is fantastic!

Click Here - All XBox 360 Downloads
There are some great games out there for the 360, good quality games displayed on a nice monitor really lets you appreciate the visual effects. Compared to the 360 HD DVD player, Dell's 50" screens are 720p/1080i 1368x768 resolution, and not like the new 1080p 1920x1080 that's out now.

The KING KONG 360 HD DVD movie didn't seem to be HD or 6x better than a regular DVD movie compared to the xbox 360 HD DVD player. I was disappointed when I first viewed the KING KONG 360 HD DVD disc that is included. I was so sad that I was prepared to return it to Amazon, but then I changed the screen on the xbox360 HD DVD (which I hadn't done since I bought the DELL 2yrs ago with the ARIA DVD) the 360 HD DVD movie simply 'came to life!'

The 360 HD DVD has beautiful colors, detail images in the shadows,real blacks and a 'film like' appearance to the whole 360 HD DVD . I've seen KING KONG on regular DVD and it was nice, but this Xbox 360 HD DVD Player does something to the 'feel' of the movie detail, for example: in the 'T-REX battle,facing the last beast, I could see KONG clearly (360 HD DVD) "BITE the TONGUE" of the T-REX and ripped it out of its MOUTH!.

I missed that split second detail in my regular DVD player, but not in the 360 HD DVD player. You'd better get some good xbox 360 downloads.

This player does what HD should do... blow you away with detail and presentation, the 360 HD DVD players great. The mpeg 4(AVC-H.264)/VC-1/codec is in full glory in 360 HD DVD. But so is Blu-ray, now that they too are adopting the more modern compressing codes and correcting their earlier players (firmware:Genesis chip disable/Samsung BDP1000) / movie releases (old mpeg2) along the way. Finally, the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player is a great add-on for the 360 console, the answer to the Blu-ray PS3. Buy it!

Generally known as PC games, personal computer games are video games played on personal computer. This brings a feeling of

production of video games involves one or more game developers along with specialists. Most often these games are distributed

through DVDs and CDs or through online delivery services such as Direct2Drive and Stream. Generally, the user may require a

specialized hardware in the personal computer to play the personal computer games. Even though there are criticisms from various

corners regarding the game addiction and its impact on minors, the market of games is growing day by day. The authorities in certain

countries like the United Kingdom have even regulated the sales of certain games though regulation.

Spacewar! by PDP-1 is considered as the first ever computer game which got released in 1961. It consisted of two player-controlled

spaceships maneuvering around a central star, fighting each other. The first generation of PC games came with text adventures or

interactive fiction. By the middle of eighties, the popularity of personal computers increased and this led to the use of graphics as an

important factor. The video game market suffered a major crash in the beginning of eighties because of the flooding of the poor-

quality games into the market. Big names including Atari recorded losses in the crash. This made different companies to rethink over

the marketing strategies. It was the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System that brought back resurgence to the console

market in the United Kingdom.

The contemporary gaming world is entirely different from its infant days. Technological advancements including high quality

graphics have made latest PC games a different experience. The success of 3D console titles like Super Mario 64 sparked interest in

hardware accelerated 3D graphics on PC. The post 1995 PC game market witnessed some best PC games like Tomb Raider which

revolutionised the video gaming world. With the support of graphics accelerators and improved CPU technology the kids PC Games

got expanded to brighten phases of entertainment.

Alchemy Everquest 2 Guide


Author: Donny Fonseca
In general, I believe EQ2 has a pretty nice crafting system compared to UO, EQ, and SWG of years past. I thought I would summarize a few of the things that I've learned in my first 25 levels of crafting and alchemy.

First, don't try this without a TON of space. In fact, I highly recommend you create another "mule" character and equip with lots of 14 slot bags, rent an apartment, and buy a couple of teak strongboxes for selling all of your trivial crafting stuff. Next, make your way over to your tier 1 zone and get ALL harvesting skills to 20+ so you can start in Antonica/Commonlands.

I would recommend you research and prepare to make inks in bulk. I made 100+ iron gual and carbon inks and although my fingers are sore from clicking, those inks sell for around 1gp each. This requires secondary skill in both harvesting and mining, so you should focus on raw minerals from mining and tuber roots. These items will produce the washes, oils, and reagents for the final combines.

Take the time to acquaint yourself with the new crafting system and the buffs. Each "buff" lasts 4 seconds to cover the length of each tick of the game. There are three such buffs and each one not only "buffs" the next tick and boosts your skill, but also corrects errors that pop up from time-to-time while you're crafting. You have 2 seconds to clear the error with the appropriate "buff" and if you don't you'll suffer in your combine and be caused physical damage in the game. I put the "buffs" on their own menu bar and move near the crafting window so I can see with my peripheral vision when those errors pop up.

Make sure you use the durability buffs if you have any, as the others sacrifice quality for speed, and also, check to see which buff of the three costs power to use. You'll want to avoid overusing that key, as you'll eventually run out of power if you're not careful. Usually drinking water works fine if you're concerned.

What I do is wait until I see positive or negative numbers pop up above the chemistry table (which signifies the beginning of the tick) and very quickly hit a buff before an error has a chance to pop up. If you wait too long after the tick, you may hit the key precisely when an error pops up causing you to use the wrong correction measure and injuring your combine. If you get the timing right, you'll never botch an error correction and buff nearly every tick of the combine.

Watch for a special, rare buff to pop up in the error window. Alchemists Insight. It lasts 7 minutes and improves your crafting durability by 10% if you successfully use the proper buff to activate it. Good luck!

Everquest 2 Startup Guide


Everquest 2 Startup Guide
Author: Josie Lee
Starting EverQuest 2 can get a little tricky and difficult. It may take alot of time if you are new to the mmorpg world and you have no

idea what is going on. To begin you will have to create a character, keep in mind the name you give to your character will be

permanent so make sure it's something that is satisfying to you and it does not voilate any of SOE's terms otherwise they may ban

your name. You will first start by selecting your race, I strongly suggest reading over some race guides which gives you an overview

of each race and their stats.

After you've finished choosing your race and name you will choose a starting city. The worst part of this is with city that you choose,

you will only be provided with certain races for that city. Again you should spend some time looking over a race/class guide before

continuing as this is another permanent choice. All the important decisions are smacked right in the beginning of the game when

everyones a newbie. Don't you just love it? You will either end up on one of the following cities known as; Outpost of the Overlord,

The Nursery of Greater Faydark, Darklight Woods or Queen's Colony.

Once you've completed your character creation I strongly suggest exploring the buttons and speaking to every NPC in your town

and learn as much as you can from each person. I also strongly suggest you save every gold you make early on the game. Saving the

EQ2 gold early can provide a better cause in the future. A good way to get the early gears is by questing, grab every possible quest

you can to help you level, collect gold, get fully geared and experience up. It would be wise to spend some time within the newbie

areas to get to know the game and your character better.

Once you know the basics you will want to learn more of the characters abilities and racial attributes to help develope your character

even further. You would also want to spend some time to get to know the enemies home as well and learn of their strengths and flaws.

You will also need to gain status for yourself and your guild. The biggest advantage you get with the status has to spend less gold on

housing, mounts and other perks. I hope this little startup guide will help you a long way. Enjoy EverQuest 2.

Buying Everquest Plat


Author: Josie Lee
I am an EverQuest fanatic myself and have purchased many EQ plats from a variety of stores. I have seen over 50 different sellers of EQ platinum. Some have gone out of business, some were shut down and some were never in business, was just plain scams to steal your plats, items and your entire account. Many sellers set up fake ebay accounts, stolen identities to create paypals and websites that fishes for your account and password. How can you identify if someone is a real legitimate seller or another scammer?

If you're planning on buying from ebay, I would strongly look over all the sellers ebay auctions to see if he's a personal seller or a business with tons of EQ plat for sale. I would usually only trust an ebayer if they have 1000 feedback or more with 98% positive feedbacks or more. Sometimes even though new ebayers may have good feedback, they may not be aware of scams from others trying to steal their account and use it for selfish deeds. If an ebay has had their account stolen they can use it to make fake sales.

Many people today run into crisis with their identity being stolen. All it takes is just one photo I.D. and their social security and there goes their whole entire life. A scammer can easily use that information to setup a paypal account and all funds received will be transferred to a non legitimate paypal account. The scammer would then be able to withdraw all the money using paypals debit card feature. When buying EQ plat through paypal, make sure the seller has a reputation score of at least 1000 verified transactions. You are also able to see how long the paypal account has been created, the longer the better and safer it will be.

Many scammers have setup fishing sites. They are used for stealing accounts and password. Hack sites, cheats and of such that requires you to download softwares for the games often contains viruses that enables logging of all activities you are doing on your computer. With this the scammer is then able to easily log into your Everquest account, take all your valuable assets and use it for themselves. In some cases they may even sell your account and scam another player. When downloading anything I strongly suggest a good virus scanner or trojan scanner. Play safe and enjoy EverQuest while the game lasts.

Taking Down Ragnaros In World Of Warcraft


Author: Hunter Crowell
In the mythology of World of Warcraft, Ragnaros is know as the Firelord. In Ancient times, he fought in the name of the Old Gods against the Titans. Eventually, his power was sealed into the Molten Core. When a dwarf unlocked the bindings holding Ragnaros captive, Ragnaros began to create an army of living stone. The Molten Core is the easiest of the raid instances Blizzard has provided its maximum level player, but is by no means a push over. The key to many of the boss encounters in Molten Core is teamwork and cooperation. Getting forty players all on the same page in regards to who does what and when, can be a taxing task. It is essential during the Ragnaros fight that everyone is playing to their top game. If one player fails at their role, the entire raid can crumble.

The fight doesn't start until a player, usually the main tank, talks with Majordomo Executus, the boss right before Ragnaros. This allows the leaders to talk about the strategies they will use, and placement of the group. The room is huge, after all, it is the domain of a fire god. There are rock outcroppings sporadically placed along the edge of a spiraling land mass surrounded by lava. As the spiral pulls towards the center, where Ragnaros will eventually be, it becomes very thin. The main tank and off tank both stand fairly close to each other at the tip of the spiral. The melee group positions itself further back on the spiral, near the last outcropping before the spiral begins to tighten. The ranged damage players spread out over the rest of the board, within range of the soon-to be target. The healers assigned to each group get close enough to heal their players. All players prepare for one of the most awe inspiring moments in WOW.

The Ragnaros encounter has two stages that will repeat. The first stage is an all out brawl where Ragnaros will take as much damage as you can dish out. In this stage Ragnaros has a couple of attacks in his retinue. The Wrath of Ragnaros is signaled by speech and text saying, "Taste the Flames of Sulfuron." This attack knocks back all players within melee range, potentially throwing them into the lava and out of the fight. All melee except the main tank back out before wrath occurs. Ragnaros will use wrath every 25 seconds. It can be resisted, so having the main tank in fire resistance gear is mandatory, and melee damage suggested. If the main tank resists wrath, the melee fighters can run right back in and join the fight. If the main tank is thrown, the off tank runs in and picks up Ragnaros, and the melee group gives him a few seconds to gather more threat. Ragnaros also throws a fire ball at ranged fighters, damaging then, and knocking everyone around them into the air. This attack does not affect the person it is casted on, but those around him, thus why the ranged units must be properly spread out. This first stage lasts for 3 minutes. If the group hopes to take down this powerhouse of WOW, he needs to be at or below 40% life at the end of 3 minutes.

Stage 2 is known as the Sons of Flame. When Ragnaros retreats, he spawns 8 small fire elementals to attack the raid party. They don't do much damage to melee fighters, but they do have a nasty aura effect seen elsewhere in WOW that steals magic users mana, and damages them for it. Each warrior in the group, ideally four to five, should try to grab and hold two Sons. Healers need to keep the warriors alive, so they can hold them while the rest of the group takes out the Sons one by one. Ragnaros returns to the playing field after a minute and a half or when all sons are dead. It is a good idea to have a Warlock banish one of the sons, giving everyone a moment to get back into position before Ragnaros returns.

Hopefully in the transition between stage 1 and stage 2, many of the players survived. If too many died during either stage, the remaining portion of the Ragnaros fight becomes exponentially harder. When Ragnaros pops back up, it's the same fight as stage 1. If the group was abe to get Ragnaros down to about 40% before he sank back into the lava, chances are they can do the remaining damage within 3 minutes. When Ragnaros dies, prepare for a lot of congratulations, great loot and look forward to a long raiding career in WOW.

Guild Wars - Eye of the North


Author: Bob Janeway
Guild Wars is a great game. With all the features of other popular massive multiplayer games, all with no monthly subscription. The

expansion, Eye of the North is no exception. This expansion adds 4 new regions all with their own quests and monsters allowing for

18 additional dungeons.

This new and only expansion for Guild Wars was developed to act as a bridge to the rumored Guild Wars 2. A bridge was required

for ArenaNet to introduce the new maps, dungeons, and heroes, Thats right, I said new heroes. In fact, there are 10 new heroes and

150 new skills available to Guild Wars: Eye of the North players.

Eye of the North is an expansion to the previous three chapters - Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall - and picks up about 8 years after

the first game left off. A great earthquake spreads across all 3 continents on the map of the game, and strange creatures begin to

appear. These are the new monsters that have been added with the expansion.

The expansion also features 40 new armor sets, some of which are rare and some stand-alone items. If you'd like to find a list of

newly added armor sets, see the Guild Wars wiki. Gold is easier to come by compared to other MMO's such as World of Warcraft.

As an expansion, it caters to experienced players, and has minimum level requirements to be accessed. There is no starting area or

character creation - your existing characters from the previous campaigns gain access to the Far Shiverpeaks from the main towns in

each of the three world areas.

If you ever get stuck in a particular region of the game there are multiple Guild Wars Maps available to help you through both the

open region as well as maps for the individual dungeons. Sometimes without a map, it is impossible to navigate through the dungeons.

The expansion seems to have more structure compared to other releases from the Guild Wars series. There are 4 new title tracks and

as you complete a certain number of tasks for each track, new merchants will be made available to you.

As far as I know, cheating is restricted in the Guild Wars world by their server. Most MMORPG's have systems in place to prevent

cheating, I wouldn't expect much else from ArenaNet.

Guild Wars: Eye of the North has been long awaited, and it appears the wait has paid off - it is an exceptional expansion and adds a lot

of new and exciting content for existing players. The map in Eye of the North is very beautiful and the environments are easy to get

swept in.
