Looks like the land of Azeroth is primed to get a facelift, albeit a destructive one courtesy a whirling Maelstrom and bursting molten center. That’s right. After much World of Warcraft: Cataclysm speculation, as well as some leaked information, Blizzard went official with World of Warcraft: Cataclysm at this year’s Blizzcon letting loose a booming announcement trailer. This will be the third expansion following previously released Wrath of the Lich King and The Burning Crusade.

Blizzard is taking a somewhat different approach to furthering the storyline and adding new content this go-round however. Instead of tacking on another play area ala Lich King’s Northrend and Burning Crusade’s Outland, we’ll get to re-experience the main continents of Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms following the stress and devastating changes brought on by the Cataclysm.

For instance, Wetlands has been destroyed and The Barrens cleaved in two. I wonder how this may affect Barrens chat . . . While we’re talking about geography though, another pretty huge change will be the ability to use flying mounts around Azeroth. It’d definitely be a must considering the new layout ripe with lava canyons and other not so level terrain.

Here is a comparison video showing locations before and after the Cataclysm.

There really are a lot of big announcements outlined in the trailer, and probably two of the biggest for most are the addition of two new races: Goblins (for the Horde!) and Worgen (for the Alliance!).

Goblins will be able to take on all classes except Druid and Paladin (even though either would be pretty hilarious), and because of their mercantile nature, they will have a special racial trait allowing them to gain bank access through a summonable hobgoblin (30 minute cooldown). I can’t count the times I wish I could have run to my bank, so that sounds like it could be a pretty convenient feature.

Worgen on the other hand will be be able to take on all classes except Paladin and Shaman. Their racial ability is called Darkflight, which temporarily increases movement speed by 70% (3 minute cooldown). Nice for times you may need to make a quick getaway.

There are also some changes in tow for the veteran races, namely new race/class combos including:

New Horde Combinations
Orc Mage
Undead Hunter
Tauren Paladin/Priest
Troll Druid
Blood Elf Warrior

New Alliance Combinations
Human Hunter
Dwarf Mage/Shaman
Night Elf Mage
Gnome Priest

Some may scoff at these changes (Dwarf Shaman?), and I have to admit, it feels a little weird seeing things become more equalized. Also, a bit sad that my secret wish for a Tauren Rogue will never be realized… wah.

The expansion doesn’t end there! There will also be a new secondary profession, Archaeology, which will join the old standbys first aid, fishing, and cooking. You will be able to scavenge the newly revealed crusts and altered terrain for artifacts and rewards.

Also, for the “Achievement-happy” folk out there, in addition to your character continuing to be able to earn achievements, now your guild as a whole can earn Guild Levels and collective Guild Achievements. Incentive for good teamwork, eh?

Here is the debut trailer for WoW: Cataclysm.

Cataclysm will of course have the obligatory level cap raise, except instead of bumping 10 levels as in previous expansions, there will be a 5 level increase for a maximum of 85. This isn’t too surprising considering Blizzard wants to make the experience more about raids, PvP battlegrounds, and end-game content rather than the level grind, as evidenced by the vast changes they have already been making to quicken the leveling process. In that vein, look forward to Heroic versions of classic beginning instances like Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep, as well as uncovered and revamped high-level zones and even more high-level raid content.

Lots to look forward to and wait for, but it’s just cracking the surface before we get to learn and delve in to more details from the crew at Blizzard. There is no release date as of yet, and considering WotLK was released over a year after it’s announcement at Blizzcon ‘07, we probably have a ways to wait. Nevertheless, I, and other fans I’m sure are feeling the itch to gear up for what’s coming.

Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier will be released on November 18, 2009 for PlayStation 2 and PSP.

Developed by High Impact Games (working closely with Naughty Dog), the game brings hero Jak and his mischievous sidekick Daxter back together once again. Prepare for non-stop action and adventure as the duo travel across mysterious lands and take to the sky on a mission to save their planet from destruction.

Picking up from where the original Jak and Daxter trilogy left off, Jak and furry friend Daxter team up with their friend Kiera on her quest to become a Sage and save their world from the threat of darkness. As the environment of their planet slowly dies, our two worldly heroes embark on a mission to protect their world from the threat of “dark eco”.

Beginning on foot, you’ll run and jump across undiscovered lands, before taking flight in one of five different aircrafts. With cheeky Daxter and our serious Hero Jak together on the adventure, fun and laugher is never far away. Blast airborne enemies and battle sky pirates with your powerful Gunstaff – a brand-new weapon that can transform into other new weapons.

Here is the new GamesCom 2009 trailer for the game.

The BlizzCon 2009 show is going on as we speak. And one of the first pieces of news to come out of the conference is the announcement of WoW: The Magazine.

A joint collaboration between Future Publishing (who owns Nintendo Power, Official Xbox Magazine, Official PlayStation Magazine and Maximum PC) and Blizzard, the magazine will launch this November for $40 (one year) or $70 (two years). And that’s apparently the price for existing WoW subscribers.

But I guess when you’re subscription base for your MMO is over 11 million, you can do that kind of thing.

The mag will have a number of high profile writers enlisted, including Julian Rignall (Virgin) as executive director, Ryan Vulk (Wired) as art director, and Dan Amrich (Official Xbox Magazine senior editor).

“We’re bringing together an international team of player-writer experts to create in-depth articles about World of Warcraft’s design, art, lore, and community, as well as all aspects of its gameplay,” Rignall said.

As stated above, the 148-page introductory issue will be out this November, “in time for the fifth anniversary of World of Warcraft” and will be available in English, German, Spanish and French and will be released quarterly.

The upcoming publication will be sold through the game’s account management page, and the official World of Warcraft magazine web-site.

What did you think of Sony’s GamesCom 2009 Press Conference?

Did you think they stole the show with the announcement of the PlayStation 3 Slim? Do you think the Slim PS3 is something that you will buy or consider buying. Was it a good move?

What about the PSP Minis line of cheap downloadable games? How about the fact that comics are now legally downloadable to your PSP?

There were plenty of reactions to Sony’s Press Conference, and the 1UP guys along with dudes from G4 discuss them in the following video.

This has been a very busy week for Sony who revealed a ton of new stuff in their GamesCom 2009 Press Conference in Germany.

The biggest pieces of news are definitely the official reveal of the PS3 Slim, a PS3 price cut to $300, the new PS3 3.0 version update, the PSP Minis line, a free copy of Gran Turismo PSP with a PSP Go and the Digital Comics coming to the PSP Store.

Watch the conference yourself in full below in case you missed it live.

An all-new trailer for Heavy Rain was revealed at the GamesCom 2009 Press Conference and it reveals a new character named Ethan Mars.

The video will blow you away by really showing where developers are trying to take the game in terms of storytelling. They are really putting a lot of humanity into the game with emotions that will pull on your heartstrings and stories that will touch upon the various feelings of people. Not to mention the graphics are quite stunning.

Ethan Mars is a depressed father who recently lost his beloved son in a tragic accident. See how it all unfolds in this new trailer.

Heavy Rain is scheduled for release exclusively for PS3 in early 2010.

Do you want to play PlayStation 2 games on your PlayStation 3? Well, then you may just have to look to the past instead of hoping on the future.

Sony’s John Koller has outright stated that PS2 backwards compatability is not a part of the new redesigned PS3 Slim and never will be a part of the future of the PS3.

To quote:
“[Backwards compatibility is] not coming back, so let me put that on the table. But it’s all people ever talk about! It’s not as big as a purchase intent driver as you may be hearing. We’ve got such a substantial lineup of titles on the PS3; most people are buying the PS3 for PS3 games. They’ve been buying it for PS3 games and Blu-ray movies. That [backwards compatibility with PS2 games] won’t be returning.”

So your only choice when it comes to playing PS2 games is to: 1. Keep your old PS2, 2. Buy a new PS2, or 3. Find one of those elusive PS3’s that includes the Emotion Engine and thus is backwards compatible and plays PS2 games. Which you can buy on ebay for $300+. Better get one fast though, eventually they’ll be pretty rare. But if you don’t mind keeping that ancient PS2 hooked up, then there’s no need to worry. And you can pick up a PS2 for $100 new, about $50 used/refurbished.

At the GamesCom 2009 Sony conference, the publisher put much more muscle behind the PSP with a ton of new announcements.

First up are “PSP Minis”. These are super small, bite-sized 100MB or lower videogames that can be downloaded for a cheap price and will launch alongside the PSP Go on October 1st, 2009. Naturally, there will be many a casual game in the mix including Tetris and Sodoku games. But there will also be full on titles that will feel more like real games, such as Burn Zombie Burn 2D.

Games revealed so far include: Fieldrunners, Puzzle Scape, Alien Havok, Sudoku, Pacman Championship Edition, Championship Manager, Burn Zombie Burn 2D, Funky Punch, Breakquest, and Melody Bloxx.

Sony expects to have over 50 Minis available for download from the PlayStation Store by the end of 2009, including games from big publishers like Electronic Arts and Ubisoft.

Here is a trailer revealing Minis.

Additionally, Sony has announced that Digital Comics are coming to the PSP! These comic books can be downloaded from the PlayStation Store and will include a full line-up of Marvel titles, with additional comic publishers to be added later on. Pricing and other details have yet to be announced, but this will definitely be cool for comic fans! Hopefully they’ll add manga as well. I hear that stuff is popular.

Here is the Digital Comic announcement trailer.

The racing game Blur, from Bizarre Creations (of Project Gotham Racing fame) has a release date of November 3rd, 2009 in the USA and November 6th in Europe. Platforms include Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

This was announced at a post-earnings conference call by publisher Activision Blizzard. This is the first game from Bizarre Creations since they were bought out by Activision way back in September of 2007.

Blur is an arcade-style racing game with a party focus (ala Mario Kart) but takes that in a more realistic direction than is generally seen by arcade-style racers. It features 50 licensed cars and real-world locatiosn from Barcelona, Spain to San Francisco, California in the good ol’ US of A.

And like any good action racing game, the title will include numerous power-ups that players can acquire during the course of a race in order to obliterate their opponents. Power-Ups include: Shock, Barge (wave of energy knocks cars away), Shunt (lurches the opposing car forwards, flipping it over), Nitro, Mines and Repair. Additionally, up to three slots of power-ups can be stored and they can be mixed or matched for over 300 combinations!

In the single player career mode, players follow e-mail messages from various social networking posts (and parodies on popular web-sites like youtube, with Blur’s “Inner Tube”) to find races. Depending on your character, you will race against or as part of various teams. Teams have their own racing style, power-up matches, match types, locales and cars, as well as their own fictional servers/social networking web-sites.

Like in Project Gotham Racing, players can earn “Fan Points” (Blur’s version of “Kudos”) by performing stunts, using power-ups effectively, and beating the other racers. As you build up your fan-base you will progress in the career mode.

The game can also be played online in multiplayer with up to 20 people (as well as 20 cars on-screen at a time, both offline & on), as well as offline in four-player split-screen mode. The online mode is enhanced through a “social-networking”-style set-up, where players create an account and join the fictional servers from the single-player game. Bizarre Creations has dubbed this the “Facebook of racing”. In multiplayer races you can fully customize the match, including number of laps, assists, power-ups, teams, etc. You can then share this and other information with friends over the social network.

Here is a behind-the-scenes video of this absolutely beautiful awesome looking racing game. And this is coming from someone who is not a fan of racers.
