Druids, are you tired of looking the same as all the other Druids? Would you want to change colors in your bear and cat form? Do you want to dance in bear form in style? Well now you can, as Blizzard has announced new looks for the Druids! In the next major patch for World of Warcraft, druids will be able to find color schemes for the bear and cat forms. Blizzard made the following announcement on their Under Development page: “There will be five different designs for each of these forms for the Horde and Alliance. Night elves can choose to change their cat and bear look at any time by visiting the barber shop and changing their character's hair color, while tauren will be able to change which look they use by switching skin tones in the barber shop -- a new feature for tauren in the next major content patch.

If you haven’t heard by now there is another video game movie in the works. And this time it’s for Gears of War (chainsaw FTW). Chris Morgan, who has written such movies as Fast and Furious and Wanted, just wrapped up the script for the upcoming movie and now they are looking for a cast. He is looking for his main actor to play Marcus Fenix, and while others are thinking of actors like Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, or maybe Chuck Norris. That is not the case for Chris, as he is actually thinking about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to play Marcus Fenix. Chris Morgan told MTV, “The Rock is awesome. Read More...

FTW! Last month World of Warcraft made an announcement that they would be bringing us two new Gamer Fuel flavors of Mountain Dew.  Alliance Blue and Horde Red.  The official Warcraft site has been posting little about it but no real definite dates. Currently there is a website here with a timer quickly counting down.  The mystery is that it says you can start winning tokens and you can enter a chance to win every 15 minutes. At the bottom of the page is your typical "enter e-mail address here" bar. Read More...

The Coffee Corner:The Coffee Corner is a weekly review of the last week in gaming, chock full of opinions, sexual innuendos, and hot ladies... well maybe not, but still, it's pretty cool. It's not meant to give an ultra in-depth look at the news, but rather a glance and a quick quip.This past week saw two fairly large releases: X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the video game, and the movie. While neither were recieved by amazing reception from critics, both managed to sell fairly well. While video games based off movies haven't been regarded as the best games (Read: Jumper, Tale of Despereaux, Any Brash Game, etc). Read More...

World of Warcraft On The iPhone Well it looks like the world is going to end soon as enough people to constitute an entire large US state will bring down the internet as well as the mobile communications around the world.

But as the tag line states, World of Warcraft has been seen on the iPhone via a new app. The video below shows off how an app that was being used to run Second Life on the iPhone has been tweaked and worked to let WoW users log in anywhere they have phone reception and play.

Question, do you like World of Warcraft? Do you like Peggle? Do you want to play both at the same time? Well now you can! That’s right you heard it here folks. Peggle makers PopCap has a nice add-on to allow your play Peggle in the game World of Warcraft.  Now this is not going to be good for me and here’s why. I love World of Warcraft.

Though the release of one of Sony’s most anticipated titles is still months away, that doesn’t mean that fans don’t have a reason to be excited. An email sent out by Sony links people to a survey asking 4 questions regarding what they want to see in a possible Collector’s Edition of God of War III. Questions 1&2 are simply “Do you own a PS3?” and “What God of War titles do you own? Read More...

Attention please! It's time to learn the Secrets of Ulduar in the snowy regions of Storm Peaks! A few new things been released for this patch and the most notable Dual Spec. How this lovely ability works is when you are at level 40 you will be able to purchase Dual Spec for 1000g and it will allow you to switch between 2 different specs, glyphs and action bars. Now I could go on and list more changes like UI Improvement, The Argent Tournament. But I figured you would want to read the official patch notes instead. Read More...
