The Week in Review

In this week's edition: Blizzard sells a star pony to World of Warcraft players, and a woman gets a nasty surprise after falling off a Wii balance board.

Ebert Bashes Kick Ass

Silicon Knights, creators of Too Human and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem has been given a $4 million grant from the Canadian government in order to make a AAA game. This infusion of cash will let the developer add another 65 people to its workforce. "This is going to benefit Silicon Knights in ways that are profound and long-lasting," studio head Denis Dyack said. "We are blown away and we're happy with the support we're getting. It is something that couldn't have come at a better time." (link [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/99897-Too-Human-Developer-Given-4-Million-Grant])

It's been an interesting week, but I don't understand why anyone would spend $25 on a mount in WoW

Silicon Knights should use some of that grant money to buy Celestial Steeds.

Agreeable, what they should do though, is to make another Eternal Darkness

I still think that Wiifit incident has to be one of the finniest I have read on here in terms of Wii accidents.

This has be a strange and interesting week.
I must say, the WoW mount is cool, but not $25 cool.
