Warhammer Online Brings on 2 Classes

Two of the classes that were dropped closely to the original release date of this game are now going to be implemented into the game. The 2 new classes will be Empire's Knights of the Blazing Sun and the Dark Elven Black Guards . These are similar classes to the ironbreaker and the chosen, which makes us ask if they will make them differ enough to make it worthwhile to make the switch. Most likely they will just have new skills and appeal to new players not luring already existing players over to those characters.

No firm date has been set yet, although there is word that December is when this will hit the streets. It has also been said that this will be an update free of charge.

Little Big Planet New Release Date


Since all the commotion this morning about certain edits being made last minute to the game, they decided to adjust the release date to October 27th.

"We will begin shipping LittleBigPlanet to retail in North America the week of October 27th. Sorry for the delay, and rest assured, we are doing everything we can to get LittleBigPlanet to you as soon as possible."

Well.. another week my friends.

Best Game Swag for upcoming games

By now, most of us have seen the Lancer that amazon.com is accepting pre-orders on in recognition of the Gears of War 2 release. Personally I wanted one ever since I saw Cliff toting around the stage with a real size one upon the Gears 2 accouncement.

Now Fallout 3 has the lunchbox, bobblehead doll of a vault dweller, a 'making of' dvd, and last but not least an alarm clock. Just a great assortment of nostalgia that is tough to pass up. This package actually comes with the game, I do not believe the others do, but man are they amazing conversation pieces.


 


Last but not least, amazon.com now has some very interesting Far Cry 2 Merchandise. You have to check this one out, also they have a few other items that can be seen here . Quite interesting and awesome looking stuff!


 



Now I just want to see these items out and about not just pictures. Not quite sure how they would go about selling you a Corrupted Warlord, wonder how they'd keep those bad boys in stock. If you're getting any let us know which one(s)!

Which one do you believe is the best?

Little Big Planet and the Qur'an?


As it turns out, the delay of little big planet to the european market is now actually a worldwide recall based on Islamic text included in the background music in one of the levels.

1- In the 18th second: “كل نفس ذائقة الموت” (”kollo nafsin tha’iqatol mawt”, literally: ‘Every soul shall have the taste of death’).

2- Almost immediately after, in the 27th second: “كل من عليها فان” (”kollo man alaiha fan”, literally: ‘All that is on earth will perish’).

“We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused.” stated the company.

“During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur’an”

Bioshock 2 revealed!

Slowly, but inevitably, October 21st is coming. A day in which the release of Bioshock on the Playstation 3 may be overshadowed by a couple titles that have been on the tops of gamers' lists for quite some time. Those titles being Fable 2, and Farcry 2. The faithful fans of 2k will be pleasantly treated to a teaser of Bioshock 2 when they purchase it for the Playstation 3. If you haven't picked up a copy or had a chance to experience Bioshock, no better time than now. With Bioshock being as suceessful as it was, there was really no doubt that a sequel (or possibly prequel?) was coming. The main question is, what next? Check out the teaser here, from 1up.
