I’m taking a break from the usual WoW posts to take a look at Prototype. It’s like a cross between Devil May Cry and Grand Theft Auto, if both of them took place in a war-torn police state.
Expect the mayhem to come in June for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Today, Ubisoft officially confirmed Prince of Persia for a holiday 2008 release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Details on the Ubisoft Montreal-developed game are light, but Ubisoft has said the game will be “a new chapter” in the franchise that tinkers with traditional action adventure gameplay. The publisher also said the game will introduce a new illustrative art style to the series. A separate version featuring “an entirely new storyline and new characters” is also in the works for the Nintendo DS.
Before I begin, let me make it clear that the advertising you see on this site is done by Google AdSense. I have no control over them. This means that if you’re looking at an ad for WoW, I did not put it there.
Second, this isn’t a review of the guides themselves. I’ve only used two, one for each faction, so I can’t give a comparison about which is more effective. The purpose of this article is to inform you of what to expect in case you’re thinking of purchasing a copy. With that said, here’s a list of what you’ll usually get.
1. Promise of leveling from 1-70 in X days.
The number of days specified here is equal to what’s displayed when you type the in-game command “/played”. This means that if you played an hour per day for five days, you’ll get 5 hours as a response from the /played command. Obviously, playing only that much won’t get you to level 70.

World of Warcraft players will now be able to enjoy patch 2.4, which opens Sunwell Isle. New dungeons, items and rewards are now accessible to players. The update also includes bug fixes, balance changes and UI improvements. Head over to the patch notes for the full details.
Highlights of Fury of the Sunwell:
Sunwell Isle:
The glorious fount of arcane energy known as the Sunwell empowered the high elves for millennia, until the death knight Arthas laid siege to the elven kingdom and corrupted its sacred energies. Seeing no other alternative, a band of survivors led by Prince Kael’thas destroyed the ancient fount, and over time the surviving elves fell prey to a crippling magical withdrawal. Now, promising salvation for his people, Kael’thas has returned. Soon the Sunwell will shine once again, but whether the sacred fount will usher in deliverance or destruction remains to be seen.
This area includes:
- A new quest hub
- Magisters’ Terrace - a 5-player instance
- Sunwell Plateau - a 25-player instance
- New badge rewards
