Gaming Update

Next, to the gaming side of things. Beware, this will be a long one (that's what he said *wink wink*).

Firstly and most obviously. Time for a rant about World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade. Let me start by saying 'ZOMFG! I want it now!'. Not too long to wait though, official release date is the 16th of January 2007 which is probably right in the middle or at the begining of the January exams. Wish I could have been one of the lucky bastards that got to play the closed beta... Can't wait to get it, I preordered my Collector's Edition (yeah, that's right) not too long ago. Gonna sting my wallet at £45 but it will be worth it. Especially for the Netherhelp Pet. Rant over (for now).

Both Company of Heroes and Dawn or War - Dark Crusade where released reasonably recently. Both I had planned to pick up a copy of but never got round to it probably because I was too involved in WoW and I'm too lazy to go all the way into town to get them. Might see about getting them for Christmas...

A new trailer for Hellgate: London has been released (find it here). Damn this game looks amazing. In the words of the developers: 'Diablo crossed with Half-Life, set in London'. I've not played Diablo or Diablo 2 (yet another game I need to get) but I can't wait for this game. Just check out the screenie:


Battlefield 2142 was realised recently as well. Initially I didn't want to get it because I have BF2 and EA can suck my nut sack. Twice. But having played the demo on my brothers PC (needless to say I pwned) I think it's same to say I am convinced otherwise. Yet another game I might pick up for Christmas.

And finally, my Steam is fucked up and I really can't be arsed to reinstall it, download and then update all my games I had on it.

That's all the game news for now peeps.
