Romance Of The Three Kingdoms XI
Official
Rediscover an ancient civilization with an explosive history in the most stunning edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Set during the end of China's Han Dynasty and the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D., RTK XI presents the most visually captivating evolution in the history of the series. Blurring the line between video games and art, RTK XI features visuals evocative of classical Chinese ink-paintings along with debates and duels rendered in real-time 3D animation.

More than 40 base commands give players the power to govern cities, manage their personnel, practice diplomacy and much more. Complete freedom to develop markets, shipyards, outposts, forts and military units expand on the already substantial benchmarks established by previous editions of the series. Furthermore, players will watch the era come to life through the uniquely individual personalities of the more than 780 officers and supporting characters they will encounter. Players will need to dig deep within to prove themselves adept at both the military and political arts in order to bring China under one rule. Domestic affairs, diplomacy and warfare are all conducted on a single vast 3D relief map, dramatically bringing to life the eight massive scenarios that lie before them.

A Cool browser game
Played echochrome? Love innovative jap games? Maybe you should try this. Its called Cursor 10, the objective is to get through all the floors you can with 10 cursors, everytime a cursor dies they respawn as 'spirits' which click the same thing you did the last game. Interesting concept.... try it out.

Florensia : a F2P mmo turned OB
Florensia is an upcoming free-to-play Massively Multiplayer Online RPG from Japanese developer Netts.
Register a free account at www.florensia.eu or http://en.florensia-online.com/.
Not much info on it as website is mostly under construction, seems pretty fun, will give more when I try it out.
Edit: Just tried it out for an hour or two. It was kinda buggy, but its open beta so I didnt mind.
There are 2 leveling systems, one land, one by sea, you can get a crew and set out to sea with the boat they give ya. Has a straightforward tutorial and easy to learn. Pretty simple mmo although theres quite a few like this one. Am playing in the US server if anyone wants to come join in the grind and set up a guild if you like ^^. I would give 6/10 for gameplay. Might post some screens later.

Some nice stuff I will be sharing...
I will not provide direct links to any of these gems.
You can google them easily on the side of the blog.
And now....
To start off...
World of Warcraft private servers, Ive personally tried plenty, some nice for raids, some for a more overall feel to WoW(thats free of course :D ). Some servers dedicate themselves for scripting raids, a heavily scripted raid is much fun sometimes if you have friends to play with. But some dedicate themselves for population. It means loads of people in a single server, but it may mean less manageability for GMs but yet you also meet tons of people. One such server I played in was Wowscape (search in google), I used to play in WowLegion alot and still do sometimes. If you need more info, feel free to email or leave a comment ^^ .
Another of one of my old-time favourites, Source. CS Source, Team Fortess 2, HL2 deathmatch..... all free. (Search for digitalzone in google.) They release recent updates to Source Engine based games(and a few others). All of which you can play on LAN easily or you can play online through their collected list of private servers(which most of them have pretty nice latency).
Ok, heres one you can earn some cash with(or so I heard), Its some kinda blog type website where you can set up your own websites called lens, if you get more people to visit them the more you get. It has no limit on how many you can build. Heres how it works, the advertisers it has on all its lens earns 'royalites', you can donate them to charity or send them to your paypal account. So the more lens you have, the more chances for more cash you get. If you are onto this, try Squidoo. Heres my lens, havent put much into it yet, but more will come.
Next...
Heres something important somewhat. Can You RUN it? is a good site for checking out system requirements from old gems to real new out-of-the-oven games. This is really nice especially when you got a new computer or laptop and you really wanna try out if you can play any games before you go through the hassle of installing them. Really useful.
This will be all the time I have for now. I will bring you more next week. Stay tuned.

A Diablo III update.
Blizzard community manager Bashiok, sporting the new Fallen Shaman as an avatar, responded to new inquiries regarding the established 'fair loot' mechanic in Diablo III. According to the CM, players may immediately make items visible to everyone else by picking up the loot and immediately dropping it on the ground.
There seems to be talk that gear won't be class specific - well, not completely. Bashiok says, "Anyone can pick up any chest/shoulder/leg/etc item and wear it. However, there are some weapons/off-hand items that are class specific."
Also, we've learned that the party system will affect the drops directly. Bashiok claims that every additional player added to the party will push back that drop percentage for everyone by "a bit," though apparently it won't affect how many items drop.
Health globes are a different issue - when picked up by one player, all players hurt in the party will be healed in Diablo 3, relative to their HP stats. Health globes haven't been confirmed to drop from bosses mid-battle, however.
Questions over loot also moved over to points of party mates deserving loot. In the new mechanic, it appears that all party member get drops even without participating in the attacks. Blizzard has no official response to this issue.

Actizard or Blizzvision?
Since the day the merger was announced, Vivendi and Activision Games have finally completed all the transactions required to become Activision Blizzard. In a press release that was sent out recently, Activision Blizzard is touted as the "world's most profitable pure-play online and console game publisher."
Sounds like a pretty big claim, but we can see why with Activision Blizzard shares currently at US$ 27.50. However, it's not all about the profits. Robert Kotick, President and CEO of Activision Blizzard explained that the merging opens up a lot of possibilities in the gaming industry for the two companies:
As it stands right now, Vivendi (who owns Blizzard) is now a subsidiary of Activision, and currently owns 295.3 million shares of Activision stock. Vivendi will also buy 62.6 million shares in the future, and will end up laying claim on 52 percent of Activision stocks.
What can we expect from the newly-formed Activision Blizzard then? As we have stated previously, there are the much-awaited titles such as Diablo 3, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, and even Guitar Hero. But will they also try and merge two of their franchises, perhaps? We're still waiting for our Guitar Hero meets World of Warcraft game, Actizard.
