Tycho:  I was in a guild with the guy who started FigurePrints, and when he extended coupons to the old crew I snapped them up and gave them as Christmas presents.  None of my characters ever reached the highest echelons of Azerothian Fashion, so it seemed like they were better invested in Gabriel and Keek, who poured night after night into Battlegrounds and Active Volcanoes fighting dragons and whatnot. The coupons I have described are difficult to secure, only available in random drawings at random intervals, or if by some twist of fate you happen to have been guildmates with a cunning entrepreneur.  It's really a way to ennoble the lost years you plowed into that game.  It's the sort of thing you'd think a person would appreciate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 14  - Last year's bumper crop  of shooter video games, such as "BioShock," "Halo 3" and "Call  of Duty 4," were notable for coupling bone-jarring realism with  finely crafted epic stories. "The Club," coming out next week  from Sega, promises something a little different.

Tycho: PS3 Fanboy just did an interview with Jim Zubkavich about the new version of the game Capcom is kicking out, the one that has all new high-res art from Udon. We've seen a few of the Udon guys multiple years running now at San Diego, Jim in particular, who always buries us in fresh merchandise - so fresh that it may in fact be dope. Khoo in particular has a soft spot for the franchise, and he loves their work. Jim is also a webcartoonist of some renown, having been the creator of The Makeshift Miracle in the infancy of the medium. It's available online, but there's a remastered version available now in book form. (CW)TB

Why do video-game publishers bother with movie tie-ins? The cost of licensing an anticipated blockbuster (like, say, this summer's "Transformers") is expensive. Designers have to work within creative constraints imposed by the Hollywood studio, and then have to rush to crank out something playable by the time the movie's released. And usually no one &#151; neither gamers nor moviegoers &#151; is satisfied with the results.
