Spore Creature Created – Zath!
September 8, 2008
Has your Spore creature been created yet? Millions of people have created their creatures since the Spore Creature Creator download was made available back in June.
These creatures have then been included into the Spore full game as other creature races that you may encounter during the course of the game – Will Wright and the rest of the development team have been quite clever here really! It means they’ve potentially reduced their development time in creating creatures or working on a random creature generator, by getting us (the gamers, their customers) to populate their game for them!

August 16, 2008
The Spore Creature Creator download is the pre-cursor to a new game that’s on the horizon from Will Wright, the creator of The Sims, this game is called ‘Spore’ – you’ll come to know that name well!
The main Spore game is due for release on PC on 5th September 2008. The aim of the game is to create your creature and evolve it into whatever you want it to be. Starting out as just single-cell organisms, the choices you make for the development of your species will have distinct effects as your creature evolves over time. Ultimately you can build an empire and decide to take over the galaxy, or be a peace keeping, fun loving creature.

August 13, 2008
The World of Warcraft: Wrath of Lich King trailer has now been released (both cinematic and gameplay trailers) and I think it’s looking quite impressive…if you’re WoW fan at least!
I’ve not been taking much notice of the previews for this World of Warcraft expansion pack yet as I’ve been busy trying to level up my single character, a Night Elf Hunter (called Zath on the Khadgar server, look me up and say hello if you’re ever on Khadgar) up to the current maximum level 70. It’s taken me over a year to get to get to maximum level – I certainly haven’t been power levelling!

August 11, 2008
Rockstar has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 4 will be released on the PC!
The release date for North America is 18th November, while us Europeans will have to wait an extra 3 days for it to arrive on the 3rd December 2008. I don’t mind, I’ve waited since April to hear this, so a few more days is nothing!
You might remember me mentioning in my post about digital gaming distribution that I actually managed to buy GTA 4 on the Xbox 360 a few days after release – it was quite task to do that even!
However, since buying it, I’ve tried playing it a few times on the Xbox 360, but have all but given up on it, don’t get me wrong, it’s a great looking game and I really *want* to play it, but the control system using a (cheap) wireless Xbox 360 controller just feels far too unnatural for me when I’ve played the last three GTA games with a mouse and keyboard on the PC.

June 22, 2008
I recently wrote a Football Manager Live preview which outlined some of the features of the game and included a couple of videos showing what the current beta version looks and plays like.
More information is now starting to come out in the recent New Game Features#1: The Skills to pay the Bills news update about this massively multiplayer online (MMO) version of Football Manager, this includes some detailed information about how you start the game and what skills and reputation you have….or more accurately it confirms that you lack those at the start of the game and must work your way up from scratch, just as you would in real life!

May 24, 2008
I recently wrote about the fact that Jericho season 2 had been cancelled and how the fans are once again trying to save the show, however this time round no amount of peanuts being sent to CBS will convince them to produce a season 3.
With this in mind, the fans are organising several efforts on different fronts to show that there is a real market for the Jericho show to other TV networks out there who could potentially bring it back for a 3rd season.

April 19, 2008
Jericho season 3 could still rise from the ashes! CBS may have cancelled Jericho for the second time at the end of the 7 episode long season 2, but that doesn’t mean to say that no other networks or distribution deals can be done!
There are various potential Jericho season 3 deals to be made as IGN recently reported, let’s hope that one of these actually works out!

April 2, 2008
The Lego Indiana Jones game is looking like it will be another casual, fun game that unites the two great elements of Lego and Indiana Jones together into one game, much like the Lego Star Wars games did.
You could argue that these Lego-inspired video games are just “kids’ games”, but they are still plenty of fun, especially when playing through such memorable moments from some of your favourite movies!

March 25, 2008
Jericho was cancelled after season 1 and now it has once again been cancelled by the CBS TV network after just 7 episodes that made up Jericho season 2.
