I warned you this would happen. Okay, maybe I vaguely implied it. The fact of the matter is that another video game franchise is getting ready to hit the stage as a musical. This time, it’s everybody’s favorite rhythm game that got gamers off their butts to experience Japanese pop music, Dance Dance Revolution. Curse you, High School Musical! Your ability to instill the desire to create musicals will not cease!
According to the New York Comic Con website, MTV is looking to cast “fanboys” and “fangirls” for their newest True Life special. True Life already covered aspects of gaming in 2005 with “I’m a Professional Gamer” and this year with “I Live Another Life on the Web.” This new casting call is looking for extreme fans of gaming, comics, anime, and movies.
GotGame was privileged to attend an exclusive photo shoot with the BlizzCon Blood Elf and Night Elf Babes. The virtual versions are pretty nice, but you can’t beat the real deal. Thanks to all the ladies for posing for us so we can see what good WoW cosplay looks like. Hit the jump for epic pics.
The Global World of Warcraft Tournament, held in Anaheim California, has come to an end. Germany’s “Nihilum Plasma” was victorious against America’s “Selective Queuers.” They won $75,000 and a replica of Frostmourne, which is the runeblade that the Lich King had thrust into the Frozen Throne.

Blizzard listens to us. Believe it or not, they actually have people read through all the forums and all the comments from the beta. Because of all the suggestions and comments, Blizzard has created some epic raids, dungeons and items—great ways for players to experience them all. Here are the latest WotLK details, announced at BlizzCon.
At BlizzCon 2008, they went into great detail about the Diablo 3 gameplay, and announced a new class—The Wizard! I personally love playing the glass cannon class, but she is no wimp! She can take out mobs like it’s nobody’s business!
First, I want to go into greater detail about the new gameplay. Diablo 3 is everything you loved about Diablo 2, and more. Blizzard took player favorites, and improved upon them. Besides the massive graphics upgrade, your character can destroy the environment and interact with it: building walls can collapse, rusty chandeliers can fall, and you can push your enemies off the side to fall to their death.
If you’re a Blizzard fan, chances are that you have been looking at Starcraft 2 for months and possibly years now. We’ve all been wondering: when’s the release date? Well, the release date still has not been announced, however, they did announce big news at BlizzCon: Starcraft 2 will be a trilogy. The three parts of the trilogy are: the Human campaign – “Wings of Liberty,” the Zerg campaign – “Heart of the Swarm,” and the Protoss campaign – “Legacy of the Void.” Now, everyone is probably thinking, “This is just Blizzard’s way of sucking more money from us.” That is simply not true, and here’s why:
We saw a lot of cool, not-so-cool, and even slightly disturbing things at E for All, and then we all came home and got sick. So maybe it wasn’t the greatest weekend ever, but we had fun, and it seems like a lot of you guys did, too. GotGame East took home 4th at the MLG WoW tournament; zigzag won the WoW dance-off with a very classy Macarena; Joey beat a five-year-old at Soul Calibur IV and then took his lunch money; Claudia received (stole) more GoW2 swag than any person will need, ever; and I finished a Braid full game speed run to beat my own best (pathetic) time. When not standing at the XBLA station for 40 minutes straight, we (Dom) took a mess of pictures. These are for those of you who didn’t attend and want to see what went down, and those who did and are wondering if your mad-picture-ruining-rampage went off as planned. Well, it didn’t, awesome giant bunny, but we still love you.
