Trenor and Zeigler met a couple of years ago playing World of Warcraft, and she moved with her daughter from suburban Cleveland to Spring in June. Why am I writing about this? Well, it´s better that a gaming-site takes it up than Jackie T or some other sicko. This has gaming relevance since it is, probably, a story that will go from two unfit parents that treated their child without any sense of dignity or remorse, and turn World of Warcraft is possessing parents and telling them to do horrible things to those around them.

That is at least what I think every media and yeah well every other person that blames video games for everything that is wrong in the world will make this news top focus.

My own opinion in this case is that I hope they both rotten in jail

A controversial new video game for girls implies that stealing, sexual dalliances, drug use and gossiping pave the path to teenage empowerment, with the express objective being to “lie, bitch and flirt your way to the top of the high school ladder.”

Coolest Girl in School is billed as the young woman’s answer to Grand Theft Auto, the hugely popular series in which players steal cars, kill police officers, and indulge criminal impulses. The girl-centric role-playing game puts a magnifying glass to the darker side of school life, with participants encouraged to experiment with fashion, drugs, sexuality, cutting class and spreading rumours in an effort to win.

Although Coolest Girl in School won’t be widely available until January 2008, its ongoing testing in Adelaide, Australia, has at least one organization sounding the alarm over content it deems “toxic” and “grossly irresponsible.”

Does girls really need to play a game to remind them of high school’s depressing social hierarchy or maybe this is a developement for non-understanding parents that forgot how highschool was like?

This is a trailer from Legendary: The Box. You know the first-person shooter from the ex-Medal of Honor developers Spark Unlimited.
Legendary seems to emulate shooters both uninspired and innovative. Look at this little baby … you know you want to.

Blizzard has released four new images of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, the upcoming second expansion for the MMORPG, following The Burning Crusade. It is set in the land of Northrend, home of the Lich King, Arthas.

Players last visited Northrend in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, when Arthas Menethil fused with the spirit of Ner’zhul to become the Lich King, one of the most powerful beings in the Warcraft universe. He now broods atop the Frozen Throne deep in Icecrown Citadel, clutching the rune blade Frostmourne and marshaling the undead armies of the Scourge. In Wrath of the Lich King, the forces of the Alliance and the Horde will venture into battle against the Scourge amid Northrend’s howling winds and fields of jagged ice.

With the opening of the Dark Portal, and the renewed war to stop the Burning Crusade’s destruction of worlds, the heroes of Azeroth have given little thought to the frozen wastes of Northrend - and the terrible, ancient powers that wait there. Yet the brooding evils of the fallen Nerubian empire and their malevolent sover

Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel’s longshot bid for the Democratic presidential nomination may be in its death throes, but his first-person shooter skills are world-class, at least, that’s the premise behind a new parody video, as reported by Gamepolitics.

You know the man of men … Kratosfrom God of war and God of War II ? You will then know that he is not a nice guy.

His hobbies are killing everything from barbarians to his family …

But this battle-hardened Ghost of Sparta would be nothing without his weapons of choice. Without his Blades, Kratos would have just been more cannon fodder for the gods. With them, he became a god who defied Olympus itself.

About this cool blade, and many more you can read at Ripten when they counts down the top ten most devastating weapons in video game history. Slicing their way down the list, the Blades of Chaos rank in at #9.

A comment by a Blizzard representative, who is rarely seen posting on the World of Warcraft forums, has sparked excitement upon fans.

“Enoyls” stated he is a regular forum poster mostly when games such as Starcraft 2 are close to release, or during the closed beta stage of new games in development by Blizzard Entertainment.

Enoyls: Yes, I’m pretty active during betas on the forums. During Starcraft, War3 and WOW I was pretty active gathering feedback, informing people about changes and explaining new features and philsophy. I don’t post on the WOW forums much anymore because Tigole and Kalgan are now the lead designers on WOW. While I’m involved with all the games here at Blizzard, I’m focus the most on the games closest to release like Starcraft 2.

Fans were left pondering if his presence and comment were omen of a Starcraft 2 beta announcement not too far in the future.
