The War of the Worlds takes a unique spin on the classic science fiction tale, putting players in control of Arthur Clarke, a man trapped in the midst of an alien invasion in 1950’s London. As Arthur, you’ll make your way through the assault by passing through a variety of London landmarks, avoiding alien drones and fighting for your very survival. Featuring the voice of Patrick Stewart as the narrator, The War of the Worlds is an exciting and atmospheric survival-adventure game that you will not want to miss.

Farin, the dwarf Champion. Andriel, the elf Lore-master. Eredan, the human Ranger. Each of these vignettes focuses on not only their actions and abilities in combat – showcasing their various long and short range attacks against Middle-earth’s most detestable creatures – but spotlights the abilities innate to each race and the navigation of their skill tree, giving a glimpse of what each character is capable.

As detailed previously on various parts of the web, there was some sort of flub with the console review copies of Battlefield 3, so for once the PC version of the game is getting firsties with the review lubbins. I wonder if any of the reviewers actually remembered how to turn on their PCs!

Head over to IGN and check out their review of the Battlefield 3 PC version. They seem to like it.
From the beaches of Kharg Island to the hills of Damavand Peak, Battlefield 3's multiplayer maps provide an immediate sense of scale. Everything about their design screams size, personalization, and the need to take creative initiative to succeed. Choose to pop headshots from the prone position, spin barrel rolls in a jet outfitted with personal unlocks, or see how many dog tags you can knife from your opponents; Battlefield 3's multiplayer is about the freedom of choice.

Listen up, puny newtlings!When Manastorm arrives, you will no longer be maggots. You will be wizards. And you will be damn good wizards. You will be wizards capable of impaling a man on a two-inch shard of ice. You will summon a ball of God damn fire from the heavens, for the sole purpose of creating a human barbeque. You will crush, burn, slice, freeze, maim, disembowel and decapitate any unfortunate entity in possession of a heartbeat within a three mile radius. You will screw a man in holes he didn't even know he had.
You will be supernatural superagents. Magical majors. Sorcerous soldiers. You. Will. Be. Badass.
So prepare yourselves, ladies: MANASTORM IS COMING.

Differences in capitalisation aside, Blizzard's offering will include free access to the game via a "Starter Edition" similar to the one currently available for StarCraft 2. However, "if you come in through the Starter Edition, there will definitely be some costs". Exactly how these costs will manifest remains to be seen; Sigaty says that they haven't yet talked about exactly how the game will be monetised.
Further information about the game itself includes the news that average game-time has been reduced from 45-90 minutes to 20-30 minutes, with various changes and simplifications taking place that aim to garner greater "accessibility". Apparently, Sigaty felt that "the deep systems in other DOTA games weren't compatible with a fast-paced competitive game." Hm. You can read more about the changes in the Eurogamer article.

Check below for the winning costume from the BlizzCon costume contest, it's totally insane. I can only imagine how many nerds splooged in the general vicinity of that thing. You can grab a look at other costume contest and cosplay pics below, as well as on GeForce.com. There are also a bunch of random images available on the NVIDIA Flickr and their Day One Recap can be found here.

Scandalously, I've never played a game by Blizzard (aside from extremely occasional and brief forays into their RTS games), but still I'm weirdly compelled to watch it unravel. I'm forever fascinated by these internet-events, even when they don't prescribe themselves specifically in my interest-direction. There's always some sort of endearing, slightly amateurish air to them; it's not TV, spit-shined into a blinding gloss. Nobody really understands how to do things well on the internet because so many variables are introduced and it's such a vicious, untamed beast anyway. It's compelling watching big companies with lots of money and muscle trying to do battle with it in a way that best suits whatever image it is they're trying to create or uphold.
I tuned in for the 90-minute World Of Warcraft presentation, despite my interest in that actually being represented in negative numbers, and stuck around for the StarCraft happenings too.
I've caught various snippets of StarCraft 2 tournaments since the game was released. I'm familiar enough with the format to have developed a genuine fondness for the shoutcasting escapades of Tasteless & Artosis, but the actual game segments are essentially incomprehensible to me due to the fact I haven't really played it (I've developed a weird mental-block about RTS's the way some people do about mathematics).
I understand it well enough when one group of dudes is attacking another group of dudes - I'm accustomed to the generalities of battling to the death - but to me, all the twiddly in-betweeny parts are indistinguishable from random chaos. Instead of monkeys on typewriters, it's Koreans on mechanical keyboards. The annoying thing is, I realise that I won't ever fully understand what it is that compels thousands of people to watch this stuff so intently until the day I actually learn to play the game myself. And that infuriates me beyond measure.
Impotent infuriation aside, here's a clip Artosis' brief transformation into a teenage schoolgirl at the hands of Tasteless. I laugh like an idiot every single time it hits the 00:35 timestamp, so I feel slightly hypocritical in mocking him for it, but fortunately a camera isn't pointed at my face.
By the way, if you didn't catch it live, I highly suggest you scope the Youtubes for footage of the annual Blizzcon Dance Contest, where astounding excellence inadvertently seeped from every awkward pore. Obviously nothing quite matched up to last year's undead male breaking his leg on stage, but I don't think anything ever will.
