My friend JW at Xbox360rally is pissed …well that might be an understatement. You know the super hyped game Bioshock that I have nagged about one or two times (Now that’s an understatement). Some punks are selling the 360 version at EBay even though it has its release the 21: Th august …
If you are thinking of buying the game on eBay …please read JW’s note to you and for heaven sake buy the guy a copy to …I know you can afford it …
From JW’s letter: I understand perfectly your desire to get your hands on BioShock. Believe me. But use your [darn tootin’] head here: It’ll be out on the 21st. You already have money put down on the same damn game, so in reality it will cost you LESS to just finish off that pre-order payment than it would be to buy it off eBay.

Just so you know …the final iteration of the official BioShock Website is now live! Click over to www.bioshockgame.com to dive into the fully functional online world of Rapture, and there should be a demo out today … I will update as soon as I see it
With retailer breaking the BioShock street date, some lucky bastards have picked up the game, you got to hate them, sure you do … and just to tempt you a little more here is a video showing a glitch in the BioShock demo that lets players jump through glass and walk underwater.
I’m going to have to go try this. …
The game will be in stores the 21th of August …it’s less than a week guys so patience …
And here is what 2K Australia Ken Levine says about the game:
First of all, it’s really one of those games where you’ll want to save often — not because you die constantly, but because you’re going to want to replay rooms to try things a different way.
According to Kotaku.com the expansion to World of warcraft cat’s a little further out of its bag today, with a bunch of listings bearing its name turning up on the United States Patent and Trademark Office registry.
Remember this is just a rumor and Blizzard have not confirmed anything jet but on July 28, Blizzard had three trademarks issued. One covers the name of the expansion itself.

I should summarize the E3 07 for you shouldn’t I?
You probably know, by now that this year’s E3 was a lot different than in years past. There were no booths to tour, no crowds to navigate, and no lines and of course no bootbabes …sorry guys no pictures for you there …
While the nature of the show changed, the amount of games on display did not.
This holiday season should be the best the industry has ever seen, and the software at E3 is proof of that. With literally hundreds of games to sort through, choosing the nominees in each category was no easy task.
The GameTrailers editorial team locked themselves inside a conference room for hours sorting through all the nominees and winners to bring you our annual Best of E3 Awards. A year until next time and with that in mind, enjoy the very best of E3 2007!

The E3 07 videos never stop coming … well I found a goodie here. Have you ever playgames like Heroes of Might and Magic, Disciples, and Age of Wonders? You might even know that the precursor of the game was Kings Bounty?
Well talking about Kings Bounty and E3 07 …here is a trailer from the remake or sequel of the original King’s Bounty that came out 17 years ago. The original King’s Bounty was released in 1990 (by the now-defunct New World Computing) and blends RPG adventure, real-time exploration with turn-based tactical combat.

Finnish magazine Pelaaja grabbed a few scans of the game
Fallout 3, in progress and what can you say other than God damn it’s Fallout it must be good especially since Bethesda is the name behind the game.
These scans look great and will probably satisfy the rabid part of the fans for a while.
The scans confirm Bethesda’s previous confirmation of using a modified Oblivion engine and keeping the 1st and 3rd person perspective for RPG narrative. The Ps3fanboys will be updating with more scans and screen shots as they come in.
Fallout 3 is scheduled for release in fall of 2008 and comes for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
