Guild Wars Takes Out Cheaters With Style

Guild Wars is one of the better MMO's out there and has managed to beat the odds stacked against most other MMO's.  It has a certain style that sets it apart from the likes of World of Warcraft in both its gameplay as well as its community.  The team over at ArenaNet has decided to take out cheater's and bots in the game in a very entertaining way for the rest of the legit player's.  Instead of simply banning the 3,700+ accounts in the background like most MMO's, Guild Wars shows its style by unleashing an absolutely bad-ass Grimm Reaper (Pictured to the left) into the game to officially kill the player.  Say what you will but considering that Guild Wars is over 5 years old and the developers continue to insert these small touches for free is a testament to the passion and drive of the ArenaNet team.  Thank you ArenaNet and we look forward to Guild Wars 2.

Treon's Game of the Week - CANABALT

This week's game is CANABALT, a very addictive game for both the PC and iPhone.  The PC version has a typing tutor edition that will allow you to bone up on your typing skills.  Control options include Keyboard, Mouse and Typing Tutor Edition.  The levels are randomly generated which gives this simple running game near infinite replay value.  Your objective is to simply hall ass through the levels and try to stay alive as long as possible.  Your character runs automatically leaving you free to focus on jumping and dodging obstacles.  The presentation is simplistic but oddly cinematic  with its widescreen presentation and backgrounds that seem to be telling a story during your escape.  Enjoy this addictive title and be sure to check out Bit. Trip Runner on the Nintendo's Wiiware service.

Free Gold N' Fly (Goldeneye N64) Soundtrack!

When you think of the N64 classic Goldeneye, rap music is not the first thing that springs to mind but your in for a surprise when you listen to Gold N' Fly.  Hip-hop music producer Alex Kresovich has taken the soundtrack from Goldeneye for the N64 and mixed them with a variety of famous rap songs from artists such as T.I., Wu-Tang Clan and Busta Rymes.  It's impressive and serves to introduce gamers to a form of music they may not be familiar with.  I would highly recommend a download and I'm sure you'll find at least a couple songs to enjoy.

Treon's Game of the Week - Obechi

A couple weeks ago I posted about a fun little game called Boomshine.  From the creators of that gem comes Obechi.  Obechi works on a similar level as Boomshine but takes the challenge up a notch or two.  Once again, keeping things simple works in Obechi's favor making it a blast for quick, simple play sessions.  Enjoy and share!

Films That Will Change Your Life - The Cove

There's a reason The Cove won the Academy Award for Best Documentary, it has a powerful and lasting impression without being too preachy.  Until this film came along, I had no idea how much mercury is in our seafood.  I  also had no idea how brutal a human being could be to a species that is most likely more evolved and intelligent than us.  With the current man made disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, this film holds even more relevance when talking about man's brutality on the environment.  This is a must watch and must share.

Treon's Game of the Week - Space Paranoids

If you're a gamer, Tron no doubt holds a place in your heart and with good reason.  Decades ahead of its time, Tron was a telling look at how people would literally be consumed by video games.  It may have that classic 80's touch but you can't deny its relevance when you look at things such as World of Warcraft and the life sucking Facebook and it's many games.  With the impending release of Tron Legacy later this year, the website Flynn Lives has brought us the excellent Space Paranoids from the first film in web browser form.  After a quick install of the Unity Player for your web browser, you can play this for free.  The game, while simple in concept, shows a remarkable layer of strategy for a game design close to 30 years old.
