Scorching Burning Crusade shots

Monday 3 April 2006
We come bearing gifts from the rather popular make-believe land of Azeroth: five delicious new shots from The Burning Crusade, the first expansion pack for the mentally successful MMORPG World of Warcraft.

The pictorial treats give us a peek at the newly introduced blood elf race, as well as some of the new locations from the pointy-eared folks' realm, namely the Cliffs of Nagrand and the Terokkar forest.

There's still no confirmation on when The Burning Crusade will be released - although we do know it'll be sometime this year - so to make the wait a little less agonising, click the images tab at the top of the page and spoil yourself with the latest crop of images.

I don't have the energy to really hate anything properly. Most things I think are OK or inoffensively average. I do love quite a lot of stuff as well, though.
