PC Gaming

I’m am really scared now ..why? Well I think a blackhole just opened up in floor and is devouring space-time or maybe becourse I just got the news that theanti-gaming lawyer Jack Thompsson signed a copy of Grand Theft Auto III

We’ve seen people go to extreme lengths for both charity and eBay auctions, but I’m not sure if these two things (Jack T and GTA III) are related. As it also says in the listing (At the auction) “Mr. Thompson is an attorney notorious in the gaming community for attempting to ban all violent video game sales to minors, and has developed a reputation for a man who “hates all video games” (although that is not the case). At the same time, Grand Theft Auto III is notorious for being the game that parents are warned never to let their children play due to explicit violent content.”

According to the listing, the PlayStation 2 version of the game can be your for the price of $4,000, the proceeds of which will be redirected in full to the Child’s Play charity. There’s even a picture of the signee and auction lister—who we’re told is not TV’s famous Wil Wheaton—to aid in the proof of authenticity.

What is suspect, however, is whether you actually get the signed copy of the game since the listing also comes with the unclear note “Please note: I do not actually want to sell this. I am just listing it for show and to hopefully win a contest. However, if you want to spend $4000 on this then I will donate 100% of the proceeds to Child’s Play Charity.”

A rumour about Mafia 2 is circulation and now Take-Two has hinted to CVG that we may see an announcement on Mafia 2 later today.

It’s been reported that a trailer for the sequel will be shown at the Games Convention in Leipzig next week, word hitting the internet that a Mafia 2 trailer has been rated by the USK, Germany’s independent videogame ratings body.

So keep an eye out on CVG later today …

Blizzard has 9 milion players to their MMO game World of warcraft. In January we got the First expansion, The Burning Crusades, now it looks like the new expansion for World of warcraft will be Wrath of the Lich King.

Spotted by German community site Gamona, a listing for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King appeared on USK yesterday, accompanied by the tag “GC-demo,” implying Blizzard will be showing Wrath of the Lich King at this year’s Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. Responding to a request for comment, a Blizzard representative stated, “We have not yet announced any details with regard to future expansions of World of Warcraft.”

Also surfacing on MMO-Champion today, a visit to www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath prompts 403 Forbidden. Anything else besides “wrath” after the “.com/” in the address brings up 404 Not Found. Moreover, the Germany video game ratings board site has the game listed. The “GC” probably represents the Games Convention in Leipzig on August 23 through 26.

We have to wait and see, nut it looks like it will become a very nice gaming fall this year…

The Tribble Ad Agency is reporting that Blizzard has entered into talks with a “major movie company.”

This is just a rumor but it says that Blizzard is to be discussing plans for a movie based on their popular Starcraft franchise.

Once again this is an unconfirmed rumor but it is reported that the movie would release ’somewhere late 2008 or early 2009… if everything goes right.’
