IGN writes: "What happens when a dragon slayer is cursed with the ability to turn into a dragon himself? My guess is a rip in the time-space continuum and the end of the universe, but to find out what developers Larian Studios think you'll have to play Divinity 2: Ego Draconis when releases on Xbox 360 and PC in the second quarter of 2009. The action-RPG from the makers of Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity are gearing up to release a game filled with fast-paced combat, high-flying dragons, and choices that have far-reaching consequences. We got our first look at the title in Germany at the annual Games Convention.
Ego Draconis begins with your main character being initiated into the role of a dragon slayer. There's a dire need for his kind since those pesky flying lizards are pure evil in this world and cause quite a commotion when they come around. This makes things interesting later in the game when a curse causes you to be able to switch back and forth between human and dragon forms. Aside from moral problems, this ability allows you to access new areas both by flying, and by going places where the opposite being isn't welcome."
Kirill Pokrovsky, who composed the music of Larian Studio's Divinity series of games, passed away yesterday.
"A great man, a fantastic composer and a good friend passed away yesterday. Rest in peace Kirill Pokrovsky – we will miss you."

Ahh he looks so happy playing the Piano there.
Never knew of him, but RIP. I heard 2-3 of the songs online and they were pretty good.
He have filled me with Magic since 2002, with the Release of Divine Divinity. His Music gaves me alot of chills. And he was a nice person too. My best wishes to the Family, i will miss him and his music that he woud have written.
With Evolve finally coming out today, Paste looks at ten other games that let you play as monsters.
IM PLAYIN highlights some of the great games that you can currently get on the Xbox 360, including some that are multiplatform, for relatively cheap.
"State of Decay is crazy cheap on the Xbox Live Marketplace, considering how many hours you can squeeze out of it. It’s one of those games that you can play religiously for hours, or flit in and out of when you’re looking for a bit of filler. As far as zombie survival games go, this is one of the greats. It’s also one of the first to do it, especially on such a grand scale. Search for supplies, clear out the zombie hordes and grow both your community of survivors and your base of operations – all whist exploring a pretty decent sized game world ranging from country fields to packed towns."
Gotta love XBL! I bought so many good games for insanely low prices in the past year. It's a great way to end a lifecycle in my opinion.
