Talesweaver: The MMORPG with Heart
Based from the Korean novel, “Children of the Runes”, Talesweaver tells many stories through the use of various characters during gameplay. The characters, who are for the most part teenagers, reveal tales of revenge, amnesia, family lineage, adventure, and heroism. Each character’s unique story is dictated by the choices and scenarios that you encounter during the game.
The Characters
The Characters Boris, Lucian, Cloe, Nayatrei, Sivelin, Mila, Maximin, Ispin, Tichiel, Joshua, and Lanziee range in age from 17-24 and have their own individual strengths that they bring to the game. The characters are endearing and excellently rendered. During my time I chose to play as Boris. Boris is friend to Lucian and feels compelled to watch over him in what felt to me like an older sibling type of relationship. Lucian and Boris together seek adventure and revenge. The character’s histories involve themes such as family, nobility, and magic……….

Cataclysm Lives Up To Its Name (and Blizzard is hiring!)
Within 24 hours of its release, World of Warcraft Cataclysm sold a whopping 3.3 MILLION copies. This makes the third (and reported final) expansion for the game and the fastest selling PC game of all time (Wrath of the Lich King sold 2.8 million copies in 24 hours).
How did they achieve such fabulous insanity? Not only was Cataclysm released in 10 countries at the same time but Blizzard and key retail partners in the US, Canada, France, Germany, Russia, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, and Taiwan worked together to open more than 10,000 stores at midnight for the launch of this title.
“We had to bring Azeroth to the brink of destruction in Cataclysm, but the result was our best expansion yet. We want to thank all of our new, existing, and returning players throughout the world for their incredible enthusiasm and support, and we look forward to hearing what they think about all the new content.” -Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.

Super Scribblenauts, Costume Quest, and the race to keep up!
If there is one thing that I both enjoy and dislike most about being me it is my uncontrollable need to do more than one thing at a time. My current dealings in gaming are as true to that statement as is the rest of my life at the moment, but then this isn’t a blog about my personal life so let’s get to the games.
Currently I am playing two games to review for my team at GirlGamer.com
F1 2010 for the 360
and Aragorn’s Quest for the Wii.
So far I have dumped most of my time into F1 2010 as I am finding the game to be very detailed and intensive (Be sure to check back for the link to the review here and at GirlGamer.com). The other tasks have taken to the wayside but as I got closer into the late part of October i knew there were a few items I needed to attend to for personal gaming pleasure.
A) Super Scribblenauts for the DS. I really loved Scribblenauts when it came out, in fact you can find my impressions article archived here o, so i was very excited to hear that SUPER Scribblenauts would hit stores this month. After unsuccessful attempts to acquire a review copy of the game I went out and picked up the game on release day in support of the game and the creative awesomeness that developed it. Being the only person in the store not buying the new Medal of Honor, I decided this was a great time to take care of October item number two.
B) Costume Quest. THQ/ Double Fine’s Costume Quest looks like the kind of game I will thoroughly enjoy not only due to my love of Halloween.
” In the game, the player controls a child that is trick-or-treating with his or her younger sibling on Halloween night when they encounter a monster that kidnaps the sibling, thinking the candy-corn outfit is really candy. The player must travel around the local neighborhood collecting items for their costume, fellows children as companions and candy in order to face the monster and retrieve the sibling. The costume aspects are used in battle segments, where the player character and companions are transformed into the monsters and creatures they are dressed as to fight other monsters.”
Costume quest is downloadable on October 20th through Xboxlive Arcade for 1200 Microsoft Points and so in preparation I picked up my points card for just such a title.
So in the coming weeks while my blog and presence slow down you can rest assured that i am diligently keeping abreast of the news and titles that are in your focus. I too am interested in the new MOH, and Black OPS the newest COD edition, and of course AC Brotherhood as it runs through beta for PSplus subscribers and will keep you aprised as best i can.
For best results please be sure to add me on twitter at @myasharona and as always feel free to drop me a line, I would love to hear about what you are playing waiting for and looking forward to!
Packing up for the big move! 1.5 weeks left...ahhh!
Poll: Motion Gaming
While at Fan Expo Canada at the end of August 2010, I had the opportunity to try out the major 3 console party's motion gaming controls. I most assuredly formed some opinions about the titles and the responsiveness of the controls. I've come to the conclusion that whether willing, or kicking and screaming, my anticipation of all households containing one system with motion gaming is a confident one. My question is: which one will you buy into? Have you tried any of them?
