Activision Publishing and Nickelodeon have today announced that "iCarly" is now available for Wii and Nintendo DS/DSi in North America. Nickelodeon's hit television series fans will now join the cast of iCarly in a virtual experience, as the game concept has been inspired by the show's theme of using technology to be creative.
Vagary's Chris Scott and his daughter take a look at the surprising iCarly game from Wayforward on the Nintendo Ds, Groovy Foodie!.
Today GameStop announced the online and retail discounts for the last week of holiday shopping. Gamers are faced with some pretty tempting offers.
Get rid of your gf/ bf/ cats/ fish/ whatever now, run to EB and pick up that BC/ WOW combo!
Don't forget the diapers and Boost shakes! Gonna be a long winter, buy in bulk!
I kid, I kid. I actually went back to WOW a few weeks ago to test out the 3.3 content. Decent changes, but still more of the same. And would it kill them to implement some new character models? The environments are holding up to time alright, but the toons are primitive looking.
Well if they changed the character models, they'd have to go back and change a lot of other things like the equipment too, no? I guess they figure it's more important to keep generating gameplay content.
With little to no impact on a lot of the design choices - aside from 1/2 view helms.
It's really just laziness at this point. And where's the fun in creating an 80, investing all this time into getting the right gear (for so much of WOW is about the gear), just to look like everyone else? There's about a dozen (at most) haircuts for every race, a small selection of faces and a couple of features you can play with. Very, very dated by today's standards.
Where are dyes in the game? Surely recoloring something isn't going to break the game architecture? And it's in practically every MMO except WOW.
They need to jump on the customization bandwagon at some point. They are pioneers and leaders in a lot of aspects of MMO development, but in other areas, they're simply lagging.
...You're the guy I argued about Aion armor with, weren't you? :P
My point is just that new content is more likely to keep people playing than slightly better looking trinkets. Blizzard's more concerned with folks who have finished all the available content and are simply farming equipment.
I agree about the equipment dyes. That's too simple of a thing not to implement.
Honestly, you don't need to be a viewer to get the concept of the game and do well in it. If you or someone you know is already an iCarly fan, however, this is a great game that features well-known characters from the show.
