- The Old Republic in Spring 2011? - EA
CEO John Riccitiello revealed that the company is planning to launch
"our major new MMO" in "Spring 2011." He didn't specify what game he

fits that description besides Star Wars: The Old Republic, which is
under development at BioWare.

- Funcom threatening to delete noob Age of Conan
characters - As Funcom are now choosing to delete the
1-20 characters of inactive players -- potentially nuking
inactive bank alts in the process -- it's going to be interesting to
see how this plays out as a long-term strategy. Will it bring back
inactive players, afraid of losing a bevy of below-20's? Or has Funcom
just alienated people who were planning to come back, but now don't
want to take the chance that their characters will potentially become
clean-up fodder down the road? Time will tell..
- Risk Coming to XBLA - Electronic
Arts has announced that they're bringing Risk to Xbox Live Arcade early

Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers.
