"In 2008, a MMO Dragon Ball Z will be hitting Japan. Being beta testing in Korea this summer, the game is set 200 years after the manga's end. The plot? An evil organization has divided up the world, which players set out to reunite. What's more, players start off as kids, grow into adults and can select any of the major races — Saiyan, Nameks and Humans. Just as you'd expect with any MMO, players can also make their own avatars. Artist Akira Toriyama will be lending a hand to design characters, backgrounds and generally make sure the game looks all Toriyama-ey." Looks interesting, so I'll throw in some game info:- Story:- Dragon Ball Online is set in Age 1000, exactly 216 years after Son Goku left the 28th World Tournament to train Uub in Age 784. The player takes the role of one of the many warriors living on Earth, searching for the Dragon Balls, training to compete in the World Tournament, or aspiring to become like the warriors of legend. While training, the player senses a disaster will strike the world. The Earth is divided into pieces by a villainous organization known as the Dark Eye, which is lead by a mysterious individual. Receiving guidance from Time Patrol Trunks, the player sets out on a journey to defeat the mastermind and save the world, meeting other players along the way, and interacting with the denizens of Earth, including characters from the original series. Features and Info:- - The official name for the game is: Dragon Ball Online - It's being developed by Namco-Bandai and will be their first MMORPG game. They have licensed the rights to use the Dragonball Z Intellectual Property from Atari for the US / UK Release (pending). - The game is to be beta-tested in Korea and if all goes well, will be released within 6 months of testing by Namco-Bandai. The game is not being set a US / UK Release Date but should be out in 2008.

Due to this being a Mobile Phone game and it not having any contracts for usage anywhere other than Japan, I doubt we'll see it until late 2008 if it ever arrives at all. Apparently, the US Port was halted due to Companies not taking up the RPG offers and Square-Enix have stopped looking for Mobile Rights in the US. I hope it eventually makes it's way around, but I don't see it arriving anytime soon.

Hey everyone, a few of you will know me as a former Guyver.net Admin and others won't know me at all. I'm currently in the middle of developing a huge gaming site with a bunch of friends. The site will contain Game news, reviews, trailers and everything else you'd expect from a Gaming community site. We are not on par with such big groups as IGN, GameSpot, Game Trailers, etc but we are aiming to be better them by offering truthful reviews, non-biased information and of course full coverage of what YOU want. The users will choose how the site is molded when it is launched in a few weeks time. Along with having Game information, we'll also have Anime reviews, news, trailers, etc just like you'd expect from an Anime community site but the main catch here is the site will be mainly Game orientated as that is it's intended purpose. The main site isn't up yet, but it will be located at:- http://www.gameskank.net 2 nights ago, the forum went live, which many of you gaming fans may be interested in. Feel free to take a look and join if you want to:- http://www.gameskank.net/board/ I hope a few of you drift over to take a look. ------------- We're also hiring, the following positions need filled:- - News Reporters (up to the minute news. must be at least two news article a day) - Interviewers (must set up interviews by themselves with gaming community dev's, etc but we will help where possible) - Game / Anime Reviewers (must follow set criteria and marking scheme) - System Administrators (to deal with data entry) - User Relations (to deal with user issues, if any arise such as lost passwords to ban appeals) If you believe you can fill any of these positions, please contact me (Mecha) either here or over on the sites forum and I'll review each person individually. Having MSN will obviously help you in this case as you could grab one of us directly.

As I said in my previous topic, Bleach is slow to start (like Naruto) but eventually gets to a better pace (unlike Naruto). Overall, it's not a bad start but it could have been way more effective if they'd left out the crap about the Bounto from the previous filler arc.

I've seen all current episodes of Bleach and have to say it's a fantastic Anime indeed. The Anime is currently back in-line with the Manga but they didn't do a very good job of introducing it, but it's slowly getting better again. Looking forward to the next ep
