Viking Quest Game
September 30, 2008
Oh yes there is a Viking Quest Game which has recently been released! Your chance to be “an ice age badass” if ever there was one!
I’m a big fan of the brilliant Entourage TV show, if you are too then you’ll no doubt need no introduction to the little-known that got cancelled called Viking Quest which starred Johnny ‘Drama’ Chase himself – however, if you don’t know Entourage, then I doubt you’ll have heard of Viking Quest – lets just say that it didn’t do that well when it was first made (up).

September 29, 2008
A few days ago I was invited along to another LG Bloggers’ Event that was held around Covent Garden in London. This time round, the event was for their latest mobile phone called the LG Renoir (KC910).
This is the mobile phone which I wrote about here on Zath a few weeks ago when it was still only known as the LG Renoir KC910 (preview). I’m pleased to see that like I hoped for in my preview post, LG have decided to give its latest creation an actual name to be known as instead of just the LG KC910 – I feel the LG KF600 potentially suffered somewhat marketing-wise from only being known by its model number. I mean the LG Secret sounds much better than just simply the LG KF750.

September 28, 2008
As an iPod Classic owner, I’ve got pretty used to downloading new versions of iTunes over the past few months which don’t seem to offer any new features, but iTunes 8 promised something new, so I was looking forward to giving it a go.
There’s one new feature which you’ll notice straight away which is called “Genius”. Genius is actually two very different things in iTunes 8 with completely different purposes. The first is basically the “mini-store” from previous versions, but on steroids.

September 27, 2008
That’s right, Zath is holding a Pure competition! Last week Ender wrote about what he thought to the Pure PS3 demo of the upcoming extreme racing game that Disney Interactive Studio are releasing on the 25th September 2008 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Pure is an intense extreme sports, off-road quad bike racing game that involves lots of jumps and tricks. It has been developed by Black Rock Studio in collaboration with the esteemed quad racer and film director Wes Miller.

September 26, 2008
I can’t believe that I’m typing this, but…….it’s confirmed that Johnny Depp is set to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates 4!!
I love Pirates, but think that the 3rd could have been loads better, and parts of the 2nd that weren’t that cracking.

September 25, 2008
Wario Land: Shake Dimension for the Nintendo Wii is the latest game in which you get to play as Mario’s arch-nemesis; Wario (bad Mario?) – he started out as a villain in ‘Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins’ and has now featured in several games as the central character as well as some with Mario, such as Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.
In the latest game, you once more take on the challenge of gathering gold and treasure along the way, this time round the game is based on the Nintendo Wii and as such you can be sure it will involve a bit more physical movement on your part.

September 23, 2008
Welcome to the latest instalment of Blog Banter, the monthly blogging extravaganza created by bs angel and coordinated by Game Couch. Blog Banter involves our cozy community of enthusiastic gaming bloggers, a common topic, and a week to post articles pertaining to said topic. The results are quite entertaining and can range from deep insight to ROFLMAO. Any questions about Blog Banter should be directed here. Check out other Blog Banter articles at the bottom of this post!
Sid Meier’s Colonization is being re-made! Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Game re-makes have been around for many years now, games developers and publishers every so often have a ‘brainwave’ and end up improving on classic older titles – perhaps others feel they can at least sell a few games off the back of original’s reputation regardless of what they produce?
When it comes to Sid Meier though I think he’s definitely in the former category – not only can he produce a great game once, but he can re-produce it over a decade later!

September 22, 2008
The Office season 5 trailer and promos are now out in America and being shown on TV over there, with the actual 5th season starting on the 25th September 2008 – no news on when it will be shown over here in the UK as yet.
After the shortened season 4 of the Office due to the writers’ strike, it will be good to see a full length season 5 and also one that doesn’t have such a long break part way through. I don’t know about you, but I’d lost track of what had actually happened in the first part of season 4 in the Office and had to go back and re-watch them before seeing the second batch of episodes.

September 21, 2008
The iPhone 3G has now gone on sale on Pay As You Go (PAYG) in the UK on the O2 network, this is great news for those people who don’t like being tied to a long contract (18 months in the case of the iPhone 3G) and also for people like me who already have a contract, it opens up the market for more potential customers for the iPhone 3G and O2.
When the original iPhone was released last year, I have to admit that I wasn’t overly impressed by it due to some of its limitations – no 3G, no GPS, a poor camera, reports of poor signal reception due to the metal back on it. Sure it had a great innovative touchscreen interface, but like many things from Apple in my experience, you’re often better off not getting the first generation of a product as an updated model seems to come along quite quickly.
