The world of Dofus goes mobile

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Fans of Dofus know that the Anime style characters and MMORPG of this game is quite interesting.

From April 15 - April 29, the world of Dofus will become more interesting as a Cosmic Ray is heading for their world.

All subscriptions during this time will receive twice the lottery tokens and two additional gifts; the Raydi Shield and an item from the Crystalline Set.

Dofus players have been offered the chance to play the beta version of DofusPocket beta. The release of the mobile game is set for June of 2008.

“We wish to offer our DOFUS players new content and additional features that will add to the original online game. We do not wish to simply make a shorter version of DOFUS for mobiles.” says Mr. Emmanuel Darras, CEO and co-founder of ANKAMA. “It seems to be the logical follow-up to our development which is centered on innovating cross-media solutions as well as our will to have a total control over our projects.”

Ironman - the Marvel Hero

Ironman for PS3

Well, until I had seen the trailer for Ironman, the movie with Robert Downey, Jr. in it, I would have been asking who could play the character of Ironman. I think Robert is a good choice for the movie and I can’t wait to see the movie as well as try my hand at the game.

With that said, Ironman is coming to your PS3, PSP, PS2, Xbox 360, Wii and DS.

The game play looks pretty good, but standard affair. Fly, shoot, toss, and destroy; all in a days work for Ironman.

Check out the Ironman contest, as seen on the YouTube video posted above: Machinima. The contest runs April 7 - May 18 for some cool prizes.
