The pre-order for the upcoming Resident Evil 5 is now live on Impulse.  Those in the Americas and Asia are now able to pre-order the game which is set for release on September 15th. Resident Evil 5 will become available for the rest of the world on September 18th.

In Resident Evil 5, the biohazard threat has not ended. Just when it seemed that the menace of Resident Evil had been destroyed, along comes a new terror. Chris Redfield, returning Resident Evil hero, has followed the path of the evil literally around the globe. After joining a new organization, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. Players will now have to fear the daylight as much as the night.

Never forget the attack on the United States on September 11, 2001.  Thoughts go out to all who were lost that day, and to the men and women servicing in the armed forces who still continue to fight this war on islamic terrorists. What were you doing that day when you heard the news?

Looking back at the theme submissions from last month, the WinCustomize moderators picked some themes that really caught their eye while moderating.  With so many skins coming in, it’s always hard to narrow down a few skins, but I think it’s always cool to see what their favorites are. WOM picked Captain’s Pointer by theAVMAN ”A nice big golden cursor with a unique animation.” Lantec went with the Solid State suite by 2of3 ”A LOT of work involved.....not only...

Ghostbear from Colony of Gamers was in attendance at PAX, and got a walkthrough of Elemental: War of Magic from Stardock’s Paul Boyer. “Exploration is a large part of the game as well, you'll find dungeons, random encounters, treasure. What you really want to find are the elemental shards, once found you'll want to build an outpost and shrine, so that you'll be able to channel the magic it possesses. Once you have multiple elements you can cast spells that combine those ...

“Your character is basically a very powerful magic user who wants to rule the land. There are several ways he can do this. One is by keeping his power inside him and having that power grow so he can use more and more powerful spells. We got an example of that in our demo where the character walked over to a town filled with people and military units. However since he horded his magical power all he had to do was create a powerful spell to wipe them all out. In this case he created a volcano that swallowed the entire town, people and all. Ouch.”
