Blizzard teases new StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm units

Blizzard is known for their secretive nature when it comes to their games.

New iPhone, is it just an update, or something more?

Apple finally let the cat out of the bag today and announced their new version of the iPhone, or should I say the new version of the iPhone 4? The iPhone 4S is said to be on a higher level than its predecessor, but what exactly does that entail? Well for starters the new phone uses the same processor as the iPad 2, the dual core bad boy that will allow this phone to operate much faster than before. Also the phone will incorporate a double antenna system that will allow you to download at about twice the speed as the last phone. Already the phone is showing more promise than I anticipated, so if you want to look more into the specs of the phone check out  the Apple website

Now to move onto the second part of the post. So as you all are aware of, I issued a challenge to my (limited) reader base to select either Rage or Dark Souls for me to do a First Impressions Trainer Battle on. And the winner of the challenge is...

Yes! It is indeed Rage! The shooter/RPG hybrid. So stay tuned guys, I'll be picking up the game tomorrow and give it a short play through and I'll post my thoughts on the blog. That's it for tonight guys and remember, stay out of the tall grass, you never know when the Wild Gamer will appear...
