Its 100 years later in the world of Tyria, in the kingdoms of Ascalon and Kryta - the original Guild Wars: Prophecies setting. The same key tenets of gameplay remain in place, but much has changed alongside the ever more sparkly graphics; not least that everything seems… well… persistent. Up until the advent of the sequel, when you ventured outside a settlement there wasnt much chance of bumping into a friend.
No chance actually - you and your party would meet up, then fight
As you may remember, the original plan for the massively multiplayer role-player Guild Wars was that rather than charging a subscription fee, they'd release full-priced expansions every six months for people who wanted further adventures. When Guild Wars Factions took a full year to appear, that plan was presumed to be abandoned. With Nightfall arriving almost six months to the day later, it seemingly hasn't.
While the original Guild Wars was based in a traditional fantasy world, and Factions

Eye of the North is an explosive end-of-season-style expansion pack - success in which, and indeed the rest of the Guild Wars canon, will filter into Guild Wars 2. Noobs should look away
Things are about to change for Guild Wars fans as the August 31 release date for the series' first true expansion, Guild Wars: Eye of the North draws closer. Developer, ArenaNet is breaking ties with the formula they've followed for delivering new content in the past. Sure, there'll be more dungeons, quests, and heroes to collect. But don't expect to start off by leveling up two new professions.
ArenaNet feels that they've got enough professions for players to choose from right now. "Part of
With no monthly fees, level grinding, and intense world class PvP play, the Guild Wars series has always stood apart from the rest of the MMO pack. But Guild Wars: Eye of the North, the last title in the original Guild Wars series, breaks from previous campaigns in a variety of ways:
It will cost less than a full-sized campaign at $39.99. The non-special edition of Nightfall retailed at $49.99, for example.
It will require players to own at least one previous Guild Wars game.

Guilty Gear 2: Overture isn't a 2D fighter. Our first big look at the game has shown us that the series is going in a totally new direction for GG2, which is now a hybrid between the action and strategy genres. There are still elements of a fighting game, but it's not what we expected. You control one of six heroes with the ability to deploy servant units while zooming around the battlefield in real-time and helping your growing (or
At this point, if feels like everything's already been done when it comes to hand-drawn, 2D fighting games. We've seen screen-filling, strobe-light megablasts, sea monsters clawing at mummies and even the X-Men caught in a battle with Jill Valentine from Resident Evil. But no matter how weird things get, you can always expect the bizarre sci-fi action of Guilty Gear to smack the reasoning right out of your
We’re excited to announce that the latest chapter in the Guilty Gear series, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, will be making its way over to North America for the PS2 later this year. Known for its rockin’ heavy metal soundtrack, a ridiculously over-the-top story that borders on absurdity and the most bizarre cast of characters you’ve ever seen, Guilty Gear was always the sort of series that appealed to the hardest of hardcore fighting fans

Unofficial music business lore states that if an artist's first major-label album is a smash hit, the follow-up is almost doomed to underachieve. It happens all the time. However, ten minutes on the show floor at E3 is all we needed to know for sure that the Guitar Hero series, which gives you a guitar-shaped controller and lets you play rock god, is absolutely not going to fall victim to that age-old curse.
The thing the game does right is preserve everything that made
