Wrath of the Lich King free trial

Blizzard has anounced a 10 day free trial for Wrath of the Lich King. To take advantage of this you need a Burning Crusade active account. You will be able to check out the new Death Knight class and explore Northrend. The bad part is that there is a level cap of 71. So mount you’re undead horse and start serving the Lich King!

Warhammer Online new holidays event

It’s been a while since I posted a Warhammer Online article. Mythic announced Keg End, the dwarfs winter festival from 17 December till 5 January . There will be fireworks, lots of beer and interesting events with prices…but be careful , the land will be swarming with ogres.

You can see more details on the official site.

Runes of Magic open beta

If you don’t know, Runes of Magic is a MMORPG, a free to play MMORPG that is. The closed beta just ended and now it’s time for the game to open its gates for all the players, in the open beta, witch starts on Monday. The game will be released early 2009. I’ll probably give it a try and I’ll tel you if it’s worth spending your time.

Eating in the World … of Warcraft !

The doors of a World of Warcraft restaurant have opened in Beijing China. The interior is totally inspired by Blizzard’s MMO, the walls and ceilings being littered with artwork from the game, plasma screens dispay clips from WoW, and even the entrance is designed as a real-life recreation of the game’s opening screen.

The menu selection is named after characters from the game and the dinning room is called Hall of Snow Storms. Nice !

The owner of the restaurant created the restaurant in the hope that people who share his passion for the MMO would find a “comfortable gathering place”.

Savage 2 FREE

Since you can never have enough free games, we are happy to let you know that Savage 2 is now totally free. No trial, no time limitations. There will be possible to create a Premium account though! These Premium accounts will grant some extra options, but they say that it will not have a great impact on the gameplay of the game.

For those of you that are not familiar with the game, the general idea is :

The game combines FPS and RPG elements, with a little SF thrown into the mix. The players are split into two teams and try to destroy the other team’s base. Have fun !

Auditorium:short review

I came across an interesting puzzle game: Auditorium. It basically is a little flash game…that’s why this is a short review . You can finish the game in 1-2 hours. You have 3 elements in this game. A flow of sparkles, some square areas where you can “score points” when you redirect the flow of sparkles to them with the third element…some resizable modules that you can move around. If you don’t understand what I’m saying just play the game and see for yourself .

The interesting part, that tingled my interest is that when the flow of sparks hits the square areas they produce a sound (piano, drums and others), practically you create “music” with your actions…or I can say you hear pretty things when you advance through the level…That’s why it is called Auditorium. I almost forgot, your goal is to score the maximum amount of points in each square thingie by redirecting the flow accordingly. This is how you advance to the next level.

You can play the game at this link. If you like it maybe you can make a donation to the team. They want to do more with this game. This is what they say : “Want to hear more music, or see the full version on consoles or the iPhone?” It sounds like a good idea to port it on the iPhone… with the touchscreen and all.
