  • Looks like I might be going to WoW

    As you know this morning, the 4th World of Warcraft Expansion (World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria) was released and with that, I was thinking. Should I play WoW?

    I have played WoW in the past but wasn’t dedicated to it as much as I wanted to. If I do decide to go back to WoW, I will not even touch my 80 Mage, I would probably create a new character (Most likely a Panda) and level that!

    So, next week I will buy MoP and some gametime and give it a try (And no, this won’t be the end of me playing Guild Wars. I am still somewhat enjoying that game and I will be playing it for a while)

  • [Gaming #1 /YCFRO #2] 96 jobs go as PopCap Dublin Closes

    Original Article by GamesIndustry

    So today, it was announced that the PopCap studio owned by EA in Dublin is to close with a loss of 96 jobs. PopCap Dublin specifically made video games for the mobile platform.

    I am very sad that another great gaming company is closing their doors. (Yes, I am aware that PopCap in America is still going). PopCap Dublin made games for the mobile platform and had been a rumor that they were to close. Thanks EA(!).
