The Characters Of Zenonia 2 [Gamevil]

Gamevil’s follow-up to the beloved iPhone role-playing game Zenonia brings four new characters, ranged fighters Ekne and Morpice, and melee warriors Daza and Lu. Get to know them in their official bios. Zenonia 2: The Lost Memory, in closed beta testing as you read this, features four characters, each falling into one of two categories, ranged and melee. The teenage paladin Lu and Warrior Daza will be at the forefront of battle, taking as good as they can get while magician Morpice and pistol-packing Ekne take up the rear. I’m a little worried about ranged characters in a game controlled with a virtual joystick, which doesn’t always work, but I am looking forward to getting my hands on all four of these new characters when Zenonia 2 hits the iPhone app store, hopefully later this month.

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Next-Gen Cereal System Edition [Photoshop]

Last week a box of 22-year-old cereal sold for more than $200 on eBay . Video game cereals died in the 8-bit era. Since then there have been four console generations – and zero cereal systems. That’s where you come in. This week’s assignment: Create a game-themed cereal box whose crossover is just as cynical, whose contents are half as nutritious, and whose lifespan would be even shorter-lived than the Nintendo Cereal System of 1988. Considering the hundreds of games we’ve seen since then, this is the most open-ended ‘Shop Contest topic to date. But don’t be limited by that timeframe. If you want to do some Frosted Mini-Fairchild Channel F Wheats, have at it. Your source material is basically infinite, but here is a very good site to get you started: Cereal Box Covers at Cover Browser There are some 850 cereal box covers spanning the history of 20th century breakfast at that link. I am honestly expecting no fewer that four dozen Team Fortress 2 submissions, and at least one Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Cereal of the Official Game of the Movie. Get cracking! We’ll round up the 20 best next week. Note: Image dimensions cannot be larger than 800 pixels tall and 1200 pixels wide. Thanks.

Aion: The Official Magazine Packed WIth In-Game Goodnies [Ncsoft]

NCsoft reveals Aion: The Official Magazine, a monthly online publication that delivers the latest news, player guides, and community tips to Aion players to the tune of $3.99 an issue, with exclusive in-game items lurking in every issue. The first issue of Aion: The Official Magazine hits the game’s official website next month, with 100 pages worth of news, features, guides, and interviews. It also includes an exclusive Kerub hat for your character. Which is more attractive to your average Aion player? Preordering the first issue scores players five black or white dyes, used to change the color of their characters’ clothing, while purchasing a subscription to the magazine offers even more rewards, with pilot hats, scrolls, potions, and more for those opting to pay $21.54 for a 6-issue subscription or $47.88 for 12-issues. Note that the 12-issue price is likely a typo. The website says $3.19 an issue, which would actually work out to $38.28. It seems a bit pricey for an online-only publication, but then I work for a website that pumps out information on a daily basis without charging for it, so I’m biased. I also don’t hand out codes for in-game items every month, which I suspect will be the main reason people buy Aion: The Official Magazine. Aion: The Official Magazine [NCsoft]
