WoW Cataclysm: Deathwing the Destroyer

Soon, the World of Warcraft will change again. Continents will shift, buildings will be flattened, and the lands will burn.. Cataclysm will come on the wings of an armoured fire-breathing dragon, whose single wing-flap can bring down man-made structures, and cause tidal waves..

Joystiq also does a review of the Playstation Move here.
This said, when I met the proper line-of-sight and distance needs of the hardware and software, the tracking and accuracy of the Move was astounding. I talk about these things more in my individual game reviews, but highlights for me came in the form of Sports Champions' table tennis (which replicated my every wrist flick perfectly) and archery (grabbing an arrow from my quiver with one Move controller, then touching it to the other acting as a bow and pulling back feels totally natural); and I was blown away by Tumble's super-precise placement of differently shaped blocks, down to complete 1:1 tracking into and out of the screen. It basically feels like you're reaching into your TV (and I wasn't even playing in 3-D).

Review of the Move's launch games are found here.

Review: Playstation Move by Engadget



The Playstation Move, the Wii equivalent add-on for Playstation 3 consoles, has been reviewed by Engadget, who give it a thumbs-up in favour of Microsoft's Kinect. This virtual gaming option has been long awaited, especially for those who've been waiting for an improvement over Nintendo's Wii graphics limitation - Nintendo were the first to launch this style of gaming which has allowed it to reach out to a wider audience than just console-gamers.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online Trailer

Atari & Cryptic to produce D&D Neverwinter



As the title says, Atari and Cryptic, having recently famously produced Champions Online (CO), are set to collaborate to revive the online Dungeons & Dragons world. Basically, the game allows a player & 4 NPCs or 5 players to team up and take on the campaign.
This being the case, I wonder if there will be a monthly subscription fee for hosting these players.. There were some arguments from players of CO, asking why CO was a game with a subscription as players have the option to play solo, without interacting with other online players at all.
Yes, Cryptic is working on a new fantasy-themed multiplayer game, and yes, it takes place in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting…but while it won't officially be a Neverwinter Nights 3 to follow the previous two games from BioWare and Obsidian, it also won't be a traditional massively multiplayer online game, either. The game will instead focus on cooperative play, requiring players to log into a server to start a session and encouraging players to tackle the adventure together. Neverwinter will give you the option to go solo if you prefer, but this will be a much harder way to play. The game will also feature editing tools that will let you create your own custom content and adventures, and it will offer an all-new story that ties into a new series of novels penned by author R.A. Salvatore.
