Plants Vs. Zombies Quest In WoW: Cataclysm

Plants Vs. Zombies Quest In WoW: Cataclysm: "

Bless. As we know, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is bringing all kinds of apocalyptic change to Azeroth, and what could be more apocalyptic than a quest recreating PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies? The new Peacebloom vs Ghouls quest can be found in the Hillsbrad Foothills, and is such an absurdly detailed recreation of PvZ (albeit with only 6 plants) that the whole thing must have been done with PopCap’s consent. Aww. A video of the level by RPS’s own eager commenter TotalBiscuit can be found beneath the jump.

Steve Wiebe is the King of Kong again

Steve Wiebe is the King of Kong again: "

Billy Mitchell must be pissed. The certified 'Video Game Player of the [20th] Century' has lost the Donkey Kong world record -- again -- to longtime rival Steve Wiebe. Wiebe nudged Billy's July 31 record of 1,062,800 points with a masterful 1,064,500-point effort, achieved on August 20 and confirmed today by score authority Twin Galaxies. The two rivals memorably starred in the 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.



Hank Chien, who ever so briefly enjoyed the limelight, falls to third on the all-time leaderboard.

The Great Fire of Minecraft: "

We don't talk about Minecraft enough here on the blog, so I shall resolve this issue by telling you to go grab a copy, then posting one of the funniest videos I have seen in a very long time as proof of why you should pay the 10 euros asking price. 'And not always, but most of... oh oh' may be the greatest piece of commentary I have ever heard. (Source: DIYGamer)

FPS Players Make Accurate Decisions Faster

FPS Players Make Accurate Decisions Faster: "

More medical news from University of Rochester, NY, who have long been experts in gaming science. Their most recent research shows that action games help us with quick decision-making. The study by Daphne Bavelier, Alexandre Pouget, and C. Shawn Green shows that shooter-playing gamers make faster decisions that are no less accurate than their The Sims-playing counterparts. “It’s not the case that the action game players are trigger-happy and less accurate: They are just as accurate and also faster,” Bavelier said. “Action game players make more correct decisions per unit time. If you are a surgeon or you are in the middle of a battlefield, that can make all the difference.”

Full release here. Have a read of that for the methodology, before speculating about the methodology, eh?
