Instead of randomly inviting people from all over the World of Warcraft community, Blizzard has seen it fit for WoW players to sign up for the beta and then be randomly drawn to participate. So if you want to get in on the Wrath of The Lich King beta goodness get on over to Blizzard's official World of Warcraft site!

Sarcastic gamer reports that they have a "very good anonymous source" telling them that Halo 4 is already in "full" development by Bungie. According to Sarcastic Gamer, this source has never been "wrong for us (Sarcastic Gamer) before." Bungie has said that other games will take place in the Halo universe, but will here will be a Cash Cow 4 Halo 4?

We'll leave he description of the case up to GamePolitics, they're into that sorta thing. "An attempt to block Activision's merger with Vivendi has ended with a ruling issued by William B. Chandler III (left), chief judge of the Delaware Court of Chancery.

As reported by the Wall Street Journal Law Blog, the judge has apparently taken notice of whatWorld of Warcraft - one of the leading assets in the merger - is all about."

The judges ruling cited World of Warcraft and allowed the Activision-Vivendi merger to continue.

The judges decision:

In some ways, perhaps, the world of Mergers and Acquisitions is a massively multiplayer role playing game as well. Like in World of Warcraft... the participants in the M&A field take on certain roles, interact in their own community, hone specialized skills, and even develop a unique, somewhat curious vernacular.

 

One particular quest in the world of M&A is disclosure litigation. In the instance of disclosure litigation presently pending before this Court, the world of M&A meets the World of Warcraft.

 

In the role-playing game that is this disclosure litigation, both sides have played their respective roles well. Like any game, this one has rules, and the most essential rule of disclosure is materiality. Because the plaintiff could not establish the materiality of its final three disclosure claims, the motion for a preliminary injunction is denied. . . .GAME OVER.

Christian Svensson, Capcom's Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business development, has said that Capcom's recently announced title, Spyborgs, will not be featured at E3 because "low for a bit until we're ready for a bigger reveal (similar to what we did with the Dark Void announcement last October with the bigger reveal at Captivate)." Svensson also responded to several forum posts that asked if Spyborgs would "make full use of wii's power" in terms of graphics by saying "Spyborgs will be that product. Wait and see." Awwww, I guess I can't say we'll find out at E3 this time. :(
