I thought I would take a moment to show everyone a new RPG I picked up for my blackberry yesterday. I usually find most RPG's on the mobile platform to lack quality and playability, for example Might and Magic Mobile....what and awful game!

Heroes Lore for the Blackberry is something new! The game features a soundtrack with music for each level and town. You can choose from three different characters, each with there own story line. The controls on this game are amazing. You can perform COMBO shots by clicking on 5-7 or 7-9. Heroes Lore also features familiars which follow you around providing extra attacks or heals. And the game promises over 30 hours of game play!

So far I've completed 5 quests and I'm already at Level 9. I can't put this game DOWN!!!!!!

Here is a video:

In January, more than 26,000 people voted for their favourite Xbox LIVE Arcade games, and this week Microsoft announced the winners at a private developer reception at GDC.

The finalists in each award category were chosen by a panel of select industry journalists, and the winners for the first six categories were determined by popular vote, with the final four categories decided by sales and gameplay data, Metacritic score or staff vote. Following are the winners for each category:

Two teenagers have been charged with killing one of the pairs’ own 7-year-old sister using alleged Mortal Kombat imitation moves. The 16 and 17 year old teens were babysitting the child while the girl’s mother was at work when the incident happened.

The two teens reportedly hit, kicked and body-slammed the girl causing “a broken wrist, more than 20 bruises, swelling of the brain, and bleeding in her neck muscles and under her spine�, the affidavits have said. Prosecutors are claiming the teens were imitating “wrestling moves� found in the Mortal Kombat video game. The 17 year old Roberts claimed he was downstairs at the time, drunk and playing video games but witnesses have told otherwise.

According to Gamespot, Talisman won't be released until Q2 of 2008. It looks like we may not see the release until Summer

It will be well worth the wait!
