The peeps over at FirstShowing.net were kind enough to have a wobbly ... http://www.skoardy.com/2008/10/24/extended-watchmen-trailer/ According to the rather disturbing countdown clock on WOW Insider, Blizzard's second expansion for World Of Warcraft - Wrath Of The Lich King, is due in just under a month (okay, okay, 23 days, 3 hours, 56 minutes and 6 seconds at the time of writing. See, I told you ... http://www.skoardy.com/2008/10/21/achievapalooza-2008/ I kept meaning to post a mention of this ages ago because it was funny, well done and I couldn't get the damn thing out of my head once I'd heard it. And now, after FirstShowing.net have reported on the actual theme song that will be used in the upcoming ... http://www.skoardy.com/2008/09/19/quantum-of-solace-proposed-theme-song/ While visiting the aggregate game review site - Game Rankings, I noticed there was an entry on the front page for Persona 4, signifying someone had reviewed it. Odd, given the site is US-centric, after all and as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, it's not coming out ... http://www.skoardy.com/2008/09/19/persona-4-review/ Another show (this time the 2008 Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany), another 'The Sim 3' snippet. Amongst the other blurb from their press conference, EA announced the release date for their bloated cash cow... a demonic, cthulhian beast sporting a million udders that produce an endless pungent stream of sickly ... http://www.skoardy.com/2008/08/20/the-sims-3-dated/ Pretty sure this is my first 'rant' on the updated site. Quite surprising really. I used to do quite a few of them on the old design. I guess I generally had a lots of insignificant things to spend far too much time losing my rag over than would ever ... http://www.skoardy.com/2008/08/17/team-fortress-2-the-mumbling/ Apologies for butchering the Pokémon catchphrase but this latest announcement by Blizzard Entertainment for the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion - 'Wrath of the Lich King', just puts me in mind of Nintendo's obsessive collect-'em-up title. I thought the hook was already buried deep within my cheek in regards to announced ... http://www.skoardy.com/2008/07/23/gotta-catch-em-all-of-em/ With a huge existing PS2 user base and a great following for the series, I guess Persona 4 (released in Japan on 10th July, hitting US shores 9th December) was always going to do 'well' upon release. Now though, we know exactly how well thanks to Media Create's sales rankings ... http://www.skoardy.com/2008/07/19/persona-4-storms-the-charts/ Two posts in one day? Unheard of! But being a big, fat fanboy, I felt I had to at least mention the first trailer for Zack Snyder's take on Watchmen.
