Shameless plug incoming...I have been locked into Bethesda's Fallout 3 on the PC for a couple days now and I have to admit that this game is almost my game of the year. Well, the World of Warcraft expansion is due out on November 13, so that might consume most of my time--but as of right now, Fallout 3 is an exceptional game and you must purchase it today!

Mother 3: If You Want Nice Things, Sometimes You Just Have to Do It Yourself.Posted 6:12pm Wed Oct 15, 2008 by Ryan Fulton Tags: Mother 3, Earthbound, Nintendo, Translation, Shigesato Itoi, Thank you

Glorious news for those of you eager for information concerning the perennially disappointing handling of the Mother series by Nintendo. No, Nintendo hasn't announced that they're translating and releasing the title. If you're the sort of person who has been waiting for a new Earthbound, you're the sort of person who knows that Nintendo will never release a new Earthbound.

For several people who were faced with that stark reality the solution became apparent, if the masses were to ever have any hope of Mother 3 getting an English copy they would have to do it themselves. So thusly, they embarked upon an epic journey involving translating squiggles into slightly more recognizable characters and attempting to pay service to Shigesato Itoi's legendary writing ability.

Fortunately for them and for the rest of us who were not blessed with such multi-lingual functionality, their work is nearly at an end and the patch for an English Mother 3 is ever closer to release.

Thanks to Shannon of Ganza Watching for the amazing picture.

TGS 08: The Last Remnant Trailer.Posted 1:03pm Tue Oct 07, 2008 by Ryan Fulton Tags: The Last Remnant, Square Enix, TGS 08, GameTrailers.com

Gametrailers.com has recently uploaded the Tokyo Games Show trailer for Square Enix's The Last Remnant. The video makes the game look rather intriguing. So far, the overall story, graphics, and art direction all look pretty solid. Personally, I'm still waiting to see how the gameplay works out before purchasing this title, but it definately has my attention.

You can find the Japanese blog for the game here. Even if you're incapable of reading Japanese, you can look at pretty pictures or download the backgrounds available on the site.

The second round of downloadable content, due later this year, will feature an entirely new single-player mission, set in the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant.

World of Warcraft = $200 Million Since 2004 Posted 2:40pm Tue Sep 16, 2008 by Tim Grube Tags: Blizzard, World of Warcraft, World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King, PC

We all knew Blizzard was making a fortune off of World of Warcraft, but did you know it cost them $200 million dollars to run the entire game since 2004 up until now? Does that include the employees? Or the hundreds of servers, heck even the buildings just to store everything? Yup it sure does. $200 million since November 2004 and now they have over 10 million subscribers. To put it bluntly, they STILL make out in the end with estimating at over or close to $140 million dollars made every month from WoW addicts.

Below is an excerpt from the 1UP article:

”Okay, so let's do a conservative estimate, and say even 1 million of these counted subscribers are still in their free month. That leaves 9 million paying subscribers who, at the $15 fee, are generating $135 million every month. Hell, even if you adjust that to, say, $120 million (since many subscribers may be paying for slightly discounted 3- or 6-month subscriptions), that still means Blizzard more than recouped their entire upkeep costs over a four-year period in just two months."

Get ready, the expansion (World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King) is due out in stores on November 13, 2008.
