VGTribune

Hello everyone,

I’m Mike. I am a newbie to VG Tribune! ^_^ Alexis has kindly given me the job of blogger . . . I think that is what he said, lol. Anyway, I started playing video games when I was about 5 years old, it started with the Super Nintendo, Donkey Kong Country and Mario. Now I’m onto the more Hard Core games. Video games are a huge passion of mine, and I’m even going to college for Game Design where I hope to work with one of the top development companies in the world, but time will tell. It is nice to be apart of a website dedicated to games and what not, and I hope to be here as long as I am needed and wanted. ^_^

Straight from Microsoft’s X10 event in San Francisco, Califronia, comes news that that the Halo Reach Beta will start on May 3. In order to access the beta, gamers must own a copy of Halo 3: ODST.

More details as they come in!

Well folks, the guys over at GameFreak and Nintendo are at it again! With the release of Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver still a month away for the U.S.  it’s  surprising that Nintendo would reveal that the fifth generation of our beloved “Pocket Monsters” is in the works. On Pokemon Sunday, a Japanese T.V. show, these two new Pokemon were revealed. Zorua and Zoroark are the two new additions to the Pokemon universe. They are said to be the stars of the new Pokemon movie that they’re working on right now. On top of that, they are saying that Zorua evolves into Zoroark using a new method of evolution. Could GameFreak and Nintendo finally be listening to peoples’ complaints of the series turning stale? We’ll just have to wait until generation five’s release and see!

Rotface

Dateline Azeroth:

For almost a month now Goblin siege engineers and Gnomish engineers have been tirelessly working on bringing down the gate at Death-bringers rise. Any day now they will break through allowing the combined forces of the Horde ,the Alliance and the Ashen Verdict to move further into Icecrown Citadel. The next wing on the list is the Plagueworks, a laboratory for creation of potions, vials and containers of the Plague of Undeath and blight slimes. It is also the factory where several Abominations and horrific scourge creations are made. Professor Putricide along with his flesh abominations Festergut and Rotface await. Are you brave enough to wounder these halls and destroy the blight, or will you be turned into a slave of the Lich King?
