I Hear a Familiar Voice
Quality voice acting is becoming increasingly relevant to gamers. Voice acting for some games, such as Portal 2, are said to be the high points of the experience. Yet voice actors in games are still relatively unknown with the exception, perhaps, of Nolan North of Uncharted fame. Claudia Black, best known for Aeryn Sun from Farscape, has had many voice acting roles in videogames over the years and has done a tremendous job in every game I've played. I've compiled a brief list of games where Claudia has lent her vocal talents. You may be surprised how often you've played a game where she voiced a character.

A Quick Journey in Elven Legacy
You'll be hard pressed to find a digital download of Elven Legacy for over 5 dollars. The game was released in 2009 and it feels as though no one cared then and no one cares now. I've played the game a few times and the one thing I can say is it's an extremely difficult game...
Blizzard begs forgiveness for shaky Diablo III Launch
In a forum post on the Diablo 3 forums, Blizzard has gone on record as admitting many players have had technical issues and the company should have prepared more than had.

Streamer Of The Week (5/6/12 - 5/12/12): "Paladrima"
Another week, another streamer. This week, I've been watching a lot of Paladrima's streams which have featured him attempting a Zelda: Ocarina of Time Glitchless Speedrun and the occasional race. This guy knows his way around Zelda: OoT and it shows.

Diablo III is right around the Corner

In addition, if you would like a refresher on the Diablo Lore I would have to highly recommend ZealousDemon's Diablo Story series on Youtube. If you want an in depth look at Diablo III's mechanics, especially how they differ from previous games in the series, look no further than Dontinquire's amazing post on the Diablo III forums.
The writers here at The Gaming Nook are rather excited about the release of Diablo III so you can expect to see some more content concerning the game very soon.

Alan Wake for 15 Bucks, You Say?
The good guys at GoG.com have just released one of my personal favorite games of the generation, Alan Wake, for a mere 15.00 USD and the purchase includes all downloadable content! While we've been making attempts to not just repost news (like so many other blogs) here at The Gaming Nook I could not resist the urge to share this news with people. Alan Wake may have had, in my opinion, one of if not the best story's in games in the last 10 years.
If you have never played this gem I highly recommend you pick it up. Oh, and did I mention that you can only get it for 7 days? Head on over to GoG.com to snag it.

Jason's Thoughts on Guild Wars 2

I was only able to play the beta for about 6 or 7 hours so my experiences are somewhat limited. I started playing a Charr Warrior. I generally stick to that type of class when in most games I play. I like to play a character that can take a hit and smash whatever enemy I come across. You start the game with a sword and some basic warrior abilities. The sword combat felt fluid, each move and animation lead into the next. After completing some of the beginning quests I had enough money to upgrade to a hammer. I soon discovered changing my weapon had a major impact on the type of character I was playing. With a hammer I was now able to stun enemies and knock them back while inflicting some decent damage. Every time I hit an enemy it felt satisfying.

Jim's Guild Wars 2 Impressions
If I had to summarize Guild Wars 2 in one word I would say it's efficient. It is a game made for people who don't necessarily have the will or consecutive hours required to deal with the traditional MMO time-sinks and tropes of the genre. Partying up, mob tagging, playing with friends, quest turn ins and finding someone of each role are not present in Arena Net's latest massively multiplayer romp .
