World in Conflict Beta Preview
Gamepyre :: Monday, July 16, 2007
Recently, World in Conflict from Sierra has gone into its July Beta event, giving us here at Gamepyre.com a chance to check it out before the distant September release date. Set during the Cold War conflict between the USA and the USSR, World in Conflict is a different type of RTS. Most of us who play RTS games expect to see a few things in just about every game of this type. Sierra won’t be releasing this potential gem until September 2007, and I for one cannot wait. Pre-orders get another map to play for this beta, I haven’t gotten a chance to play that one yet though. I know I for one will be getting as much play as I can out of this in anticipation of the release, and from the looks of server populations, I’m not the only one waiting anxiously for this game to go gold and then hit store shelves. Just a couple of months until the Cold War warms up.

Sonic and the Secret Rings for Wii
Bona Fide Reviews :: Saturday, July 14, 2007
The most common complaint that critics cited against previous 3D Sonic games, most famously Sonic Adventure, was that the camera often didn’t point in the direction that they were going. The game was lambasted for this, and now it’s not uncommon to see new games with wonky camera systems to be mockingly compared to Sonic’s Dreamcast debut. But was the problem the game, or the critics themselves?
