Not surprisingly--and like so many mad scientists before her--her efforts have ended in cataclysmic results.   |

| South Park Stick of Truth: Becoming the Cool Kid Posted: 03 Mar 2014 03:20 PM PST There have been a solid handful of terrible South Park games over the years. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined that we would see a game that not only does the IP justice, but a game that is genuinely fun from a mechanical point of view. This hilariously twisted quest begins with your character as the new kid in town - your mission is simple: make friends and become cool.   |

| Posted: 03 Mar 2014 09:16 AM PST Destiny News has released a great new video that sums up everything that anyone could possibly know or want to know about Bungie's Destiny. It's a fantastic look at the game and one that's worth the 42-minutes to check out. Let us know what you think in the comments.   |
| General: Harry Potter Online in development... sort of. Posted: 03 Mar 2014 08:57 AM PST It seems there might be a Harry Potter Online after all, as development studio Bio-Hazard Entertainment has a "limited license" to begin producing the MMO set in the Wizarding world of JK Rowling, to allow Warner Bros. the chance to evaluate it and decide if full development is worthwhile.   |
| World of Warcraft: The Impact of WoW’s Instant Boost to Level Cap Posted: 02 Mar 2014 01:30 PM PST Last week, word got out that Blizzard had set its price for boosting a character to level 90 after the World of Warcraft Warlords of Draenor expansion is released. There was already speculation going on, given previous leaks that included surveys with Blizzard asking players how much boosting a character up to cap was worth to them.
