Gamescom 2009 & Blizcon

Gamescom 2009 in Cologne just finished and it was a huge successful event gathering 250.000 attendees.
Major announcement is of course PS3 Slim!! with USD 299 price tag, 120 G HDD. It is interesting to see how PS3 will perform this holiday season, given that they already couple steps behind xbox 360.
Other things are just updates of strong PS3 games lineup. GT5, MW2 (can't wait for this one), GOW3, Uncharted 2, Fable 3 for xbox 360.
Overall its a good event, heard next year Gamescom will be planned soon.

After that there is Blizcon. Every Blizzard game has been very successful that they considered their own show. And it was sold out just minutes after the website open.
Wow fans and retired Wow fans (me) should be damn happy, because 3rd expansion Cataclysm is announced. Main features are:
- All new Worgen (alliance) and Goblin (Horde)
- Changes to Azeroth landscape with Auberdine will be flooded. Oh my I love Auberdine!
- Level cap increase to 85
- Mounting in Azeroth
- Guild level. Yes, now guild can gain level, they can have perks like more durability of armors, cheaper repairs, mass ressurection after wipes.
- Many more.

And other thing is Diablo 3 additional class, the monk. It is interesting to see the gameplay of this 'street fighter type' dude.

That's just the 'semi' update from me. check out videogames.com or 1up.com for full coverage.
