Blizzard giving out a release date is like pulling teeth, but lately they have been dishing out alot of info on their upcoming games, especially Cataclysm. Now the veil has been lifted on the release date of their highly anticipated RTS game Starcraft II, which will hit stores July 27, 2010.

Here’s what us gamers and movie buffs can expect this week:
360 Releases:

• Iron Man 2 – May 3, 2010
• Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta – May 3, 2010
• Autobahn Polizei – May 3, 2010

Movie Releases:

• Iron Man 2 – May 7, 2010

May is looking to be a great month for gamers out there. The Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta kicks off officially on May 3rd if you have the Halo 3:ODST game or you were a loyal Halo 2 player.

Lost Planet 2 was pushed up to May 11th due to popular demand, releasing alongside Skate 3.
May 18th looks to be a killer release date. Be ready to fight shadows with your trusty flashlight in Alan Wake 

Split/Second is the racing game that uses the environment to destroy your rival racers.

Red Dead Redemption is taking the Wild West and making it cool.

Some game named Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is supposed to be launching on May 18th as well. Looks like you control some Prince that can control time and is also starring in a move with the same title. /sarcasm off. Definitely worth checking out lol.

Rounding out May 2010 is Blur and UFC Undisputed 2010.
The games I didn’t mention are the games I’m avoiding. Sorry Iron Man 2, Autobahn Polizei, Shrek: Forever After, Attack of the Movies 3D(Maybe I’ll rent you), and Backyard Sports Sandlot Sluggers. 

Here is how I’m breaking my gaming down this month.

• Lost Planet 2 – Buying
• Skate 3 – Renting
• Alan Wake – Renting
• Split Second – Renting
• Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands – Buying
• Blur – Renting

Happy gaming! Hopefully you will won’t anger your wife too much this month lol!

"Announcing our first Guild Wars 2 profession: the Elementalist! This powerful class channels the destructive power of nature, making fire, air, earth, and water do their bidding.

Elementalists can inflict massive damage in a single focused lightning attack, incinerate mobs with a fiery blast, freeze opponents in blocks of ice, or trap them in giant rocky hands! Watch this versatile spellcaster in action here!"

I see where you are going with our class, Blizzard…and I like it.




My main character is a warlock, and has been since early closed beta back in 2004. I’ve never re-rolled, even through the bad times. Currently my main spec is Affliction, with Demonology as my secondary. I think Blizzard has finally defined the warlock class and has even further differentiated us from mages. I don’t agree with ALL of the changes and new abilities, but I am very excited about what’s to come.



So here is my take on the changes(NOTE: My views are PvE focused with raiding and some soloing in mind.):

After the many requests for us warlocks to get green fire, Blizzard confirmed today that those requests and wishes did not fall on deaf ears:

Fel Flame (level 81): Quick-hitting spell dealing Shadowfire damage. This is similar to the mage ability Frostfire Bolt, in that the lower of the two resistances (in this case shadow and fire) on your target will be used for calculating its damage. Additionally, Fel Flame refreshes the duration of Immolate and Unstable Affliction. Our goal for Fel Flame is to provide a spell that's good for mobility and for use by Destruction and Demonology specs. Also, did we mention it uses green fire? Yep. Instant cast.

Now the question still remains whether or not green fire will replace all of our other spells, but I would assume they will change since it would be a little wierd to have one green fire spell and several other orange ones.
