ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT
19-year-old Taylor Swift has had singles top both the Country and Pop radio charts, and sold more albums in 2008 than any other recording artist, in any genre of music. Her sophomore release, Fearless, was voted 2009's Album of the Year by the Academy of Country Music, and reached double-platinum in just four weeks. Fearless was the year's biggest debut for any female artist, and the fourth highest debut of 2008, over all. Now rapidly approaching quadruple-platinum,Fearless has spent more weeks in the #1 position atop Billboard's Top 200 all-genre CD sales chart than any other album this year. Taylor, whose career record sales now top 7.75 million, currently holds the Billboard all-genre record for most Top 20 debuts in a calendar year. Taylor launched her first-ever headlining tour this spring, the TAYLOR SWIFT Fearless 2009 TOUR, selling out a show at Madison Square Garden in one minute, and one at Los Angeles' STAPLES center in just two minutes.

At 17, Taylor became the youngest person to single-handedly write and sing a number-one country single entirely on her own ("Our Song" spent 6 consecutive weeks at #1 atop Billboard's Country Singles Chart), and she is the first female solo artist in country music history to write or co-write every song on a platinum-selling debut CD. At 14, she signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music, and in 2006 released her self-titled debut CD on Big Machine Records. Taylor Swifthas surpassed quadruple-platinum (4 million sales) status and spent more than 20 weeks in the #1 position atop Billboard's Country CD Sales Chart. Taylor is consistently ranked Country's #1 artist on MySpace, and was named Country Music's Hottest Female Artist by AOL Music and Best New Artist by the editors of iTunes.

In 2009 Taylor was awarded the Academy of Country Music's Crystal Milestone Award, given for Outstanding Achievement in Country Music. Taylor was the 2nd artist in history to receive this prestigious award -- Garth Brooks received the award in 2007. Also this year, Taylor won CMT Music Awards for Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year, awards she was also honored with in 2008. Taylor was named 2008's Favorite Female Country Artist at the American Music Awards, Top New Female Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music, and won 2008 CMT Music Awards for Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year. She was named Choice Breakout Artist at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards, and was as the 2008 Superstar of Tomorrow at the 10th Annual Young Hollywood Awards, making her the first musician to ever receive this prestigious award. In 2007 she won the CMA Horizon Award, as well as the Nashville Songwriters Association International's Songwriter / Artist of the Year, and she received a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.

Earlier this year, NBC dedicated an entire hour to the primetime special "Dateline: On Tour With Taylor Swift." Taylor's numerous other television appearances include a guest-starring role on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and a performance on Saturday Night Live.

Sega's Sands Of Destruction, Nintendo DS Game, Trailer And Character Bios

Sega has released a trailer, character artwork, and character Bio for thier upcoming Nintendo DS game Sands Of Destruction



Kyrie Illunis – Male – 17 - 5'10"
The protagonist of this story. Gentle and sometimes shy, Kyrie is genuine and honest with anyone and will always keep his promises no matter what lies in his path. He has never seen the world outside of his town of Barni.

Morte Asherah – Female – 16 - 5'6"
Morte is a tomboy and a half. Always cheerful and up beat, she believes that life should be about having fun. She isn't the romantic type, but once she realizes her own feelings she will run head-on towards her love. Childhood friends with Agan.

Agan Mardrus – Male – 18 – 5'11"
Agan is a childhood friend of Morte's and is somehow whisked into traveling with her and Kyrie. Although he is kind and good-natured at heart, he hides behind a sometimes cynical demeanor to prevent from revealing too much of his real self.

Taupy Toplan – Male – Unkown - 2'8"
Taupy always gets the job done, and is the best of his trade at treasure hunting. The gritty and hard-boiled little bear is the toughest of the team, joining Kyrie's group instinctively - knowing it is the right choice for him. Teaches the pure-hearted and naïve Kyrie the importance of making his own choices.

Rhi'a Dragunel – Female – 300 - 5'3"
As the last scion of the Dragon race, Rhi'a may look 15 but has actually lived for 300 years. Despite her girlish and bubbly features, her comments can be full of wisdom from her long life experiences. However, she tends to keep her comments short, which leads her to seem a little mysterious.

Naja Gref – Male – 17 - 6'1"
Naja is very much an intellectual and is committed to his ideal of "saving the world." Sometimes obstinate, he tends to believe that his ideas are always correct. With a human mother and a feral father, he has grown under unfortunate prejudice from both the humans and the ferals.

Ghostfire Games Announce Rage Of The Gladiator For Nintendo WiiWare

Ghostfire games have announced Rage Of The Gladiator for the Nintendo Wii WiiWare service.
In the game you control a Gladiator in an arena, in a first person perspective view, who has to defeat mythical bosses. you can customise your character with the skill points earned from defeating bosses.
The game has full 3d graphics, a "epic" soundtrack, realistic animations and re-playability.

Rage Of The Gladiator




Press Release

Rage of the Gladiator is a fantasy fighting game. You control a gladiator, fighting for your life in an arena. Armed with your magical warhammer and a trusty shield, you must defeat fantastic bosses including a Chimera, Beholder, and a Dragon. The game is set in first-person perspective.
“Rage of the Gladiator is a series of epic boss-battles,” said Ed Roman, CEO of Ghostfire Games. “There are no ‘fodder’ enemies – its all bosses, which we find to be the most fun part of games!”

In Rage of the Gladiator, each boss has unique abilities and powers that you need to pay close attention to. Exploit the weakness of each enemy by jumping, dodging, or shield blocking with the proper timing and agility. Then unleash your rage by brutally pounding your enemy with your warhammer and bashing them with your shield, and you will triumph.
Features of the game include:

Insane “finishing moves.” You have 14 finishing moves that destroy your opponent in over-the-top cutscenes:

Leap to the skies, then plunge your warhammer into the ground, creating a pillar of fire that burns your enemy to a crisp.

Transform into a hulking colossus 10 times the size of your opponent, pounding him into the ground.

Darken the skies with a solar eclipse, sending a beam of light to fry your enemy.
Customize your character. As you defeat bosses, you earn skill points. You can apply those skill points to one of three skill trees: Offense, Defense, and Magic. This gives you new powers. It also provides great replay value since you can replay through the game with different skill tree decisions.

Fantastic 3D-graphics. Fully rendered and realistic, you do combat in a fully lit 3D arena. This polish level is rare for a downloadable title.

Extremely realistic animations. When you attack bosses, the impacts and hits feel “real.” Each boss has been painstakingly animated to react properly to each of your attacks.
Outstanding replay value. Once you’ve beaten the first 10 bosses, you must face them again in Challenge Mode, which is a completely new experience – the bosses are more difficult with new powers. There are 21 total battles.

Epic soundtrack. The music has been designed to be exciting and memorable, and really gets your blood pumping.

“Rage of the Gladiator is a monumental undertaking.” said Mr. Roman. “It has content comparable to a full $50 store title, yet has a budget title price. We’ve tried to make a game that blows the lid off what people expect from WiiWare.”

What Have You Played This Week?

Football Manager 09 – PC – Still playing, still going. It is my vice and will be for many years to come.

Crackdown – Xbox 360 – I played the demo when the game first came out and wasn't impressed. And still, I can understand why it had a bad first impression. I've nearly done the first island and feel mixed about the game. It has some good moments, but also some bad ones. I'll try to play further into it before making a final conclusion about the game. I do like the graphic style of the game, and whilst the camera has been a little of an issue, it doesn't detract from what is a good looking game, even now.

Killzone 2 – PS3 – got all the job badges now and was in top 10% for last week so another welcomed trophy.

Pokèmon Platinum – DS – done the final gym battle. Now getting my squad up to a decent level to take on the elite 4.
