Need to relax? Try playing a violent video game!
A recent study suggests that violent video games may make people more relaxed — but only if their personality is already predisposed to being fairly relaxed.
Surprise of surprises: if you’re already aggressive or violent, then playing a violent game isn’t likely to calm you down, and you may well choose to beat someone up outside your local whether or not you’ve had a heavy WoW day. Your Mileage May Vary…

Virtual Worlds Week: More World of Warcraft gamers in the US than actual farmers
According to tech blog Switched.com, which understandably has a vested interest in reporting such figures. As do we. Power to the WoW players, I say! I can’t wait until the day when we’re all wandering around IRL, donning battle hats and swords.
Just two million Americans live and work on ranches and farms, however World of Warcraft gamers in the US? Four million. Uh-huh. Power to the people, everyone. So next time someone tries to convince you rural…
World of Warcraft on console would be a disaster
Gary Cutlack writes…
I wish people would stop bleating on about getting a console version of World of Warcraft. It wouldn’t work. It’s not a console game. It requires more than six buttons and you have to type out words. It just wouldn’t work.
World of Warcraft definitely, positively, 100% NOT coming to consoles. Ever
Poor old WoW maker Blizzard must get asked this question 100 times a day, yet the answer remains the same – no. For the love of god, NO.
Speaking once again on the possibility of the massively-popular RPG coming to PlayStation3 or Xbox 360 or even Wii, or phone, or DS, or anything that’s not a proper computer with a mouse and stuff, Blizzard’s vice-president of game design Rob Pardo…

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade launch at HMV Oxford Street, London
Well done for tearing your eyes away from your latest World of Warcraft battle, long enough to read this post…Oh, it’s about World of Warcraft, funny that, I should have figured! Released at midnight last night in Europe and the US, The Burning Crusade expansion pack features a new continent, two extra races of ‘people’, and the level attainability has risen to 70. HMV at Oxford Street held a launch party similar to that of December’s Wii launch party, with WoW designer Jon LeCraft giving away signed copies, and many geeks fans dressing up in costume. Several hardcore gamers queued for well over 16 hours, in order to gain special in-game gifts, like pets, although most started queuing in the late afternoon. The expansion pack is only £29.99, plus you have to fork out a monthly fee to subscribe to the game as well. Take a gander at some of the photos taken last night – no laughing, however, karma is a bad enemy!
