This week has been relatively quite, apart from the shenanigans over at Blizzard in celebration of April Fool’s Day. I must admit being quite gullible I found myself genuinely confused at why Blizzard had decided to open an online matchmaking service.
Here are the highlights:
- Over at Blizzard (April Fool’s jokes):
- For more April Fool’s jokes, have a look at Gamespot’s article.
- Gamasutra’s, Leigh Alexander reflects on the latest RPG’s. A great read for older gamers and FF fan’s alike.
- Read The Big Freak’s response here.
I’m sure there is more, but that is all I have time for today. It’s time to head off for Easter Celebrations!
Happy Easter!

So what’s new?
The third expansion (World of Warcraft: Cataclysm) to Blizzard’s huge money maker (estimated $810M per year from western gamers only) is due to be released in the fourth quarter this year and there is plenty packed into this tasty US$40.00 morsel.
Brand new races
Goblins:
Yes you can now play these crafty little green men. After many a sour business deal with the ever naive Alliance, the Goblins have joined the dark side as it were.
Worgen:

[Mmm, some Tauren hide would be great right now.]

Then along came Diablo II and blew RPG gamers away again. New classes, skills and weapons as well as ranked online play provided gamers with hours and hours of sweet ass gaming.

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade has added an incredible amount of new content to the game. The level cap has been increased to 70 and along with this new talents and skills were also available. There is also two new classes, the Blood Elves (Horde) and Dranei (Alliance) which will now allow Horde to access the Paladin class and Dranei the Shaman class. Both side will need these classes as the battle on to new end game instances.
Unfortunately all of your tier gear is now outstripped by most greens that you will find in the new Outland area. If the video below doesn’t get you excited, I don’t know what will.
Buy WoW Gold
