If you play World of Warcraft and haven't heard of Figure Prints than you are missing out on a rare opportunity to have your video game figure turned into a real 3D Sculpture.  This is made possible by a company called Figure Prints.  They use a 3d technology that captures your WOW character's 3 dimensional model right within the game, and then use a 3D printer that creates the figure layer by layer.

This service is so popular that Figure Prints has to have a lottery every month to decide which people in the waiting list will get their figure remade.  So odds are against you to have your figure transfigured into a real life model, but...

I have found someone that is offering their oppurtunity for you to get your figure made.  They were chosen, but have decided to back out.  So, for only $75 you can get their lotto ticket, which entitles you to get your figure made.

So if you want your own replica World of Warcraft figurine that will look EXACTLY like your figure from the game in whatever pose you want then click here to check it out.

If you've got a little more money here is another one going for $100.

Usually articles on here are about Video Game Toys, but what sort of toy more embraces video games than the toy that allows you to create the video games yourself?  Although Microsoft's game creator has been out for over a year now, the true opportunity and excitement for this toy is just coming to roost.

On November 19th, anyone, including you, can post your video games to the Xbox Live Community.  What does this mean.  If you join the XNA Creators Club, you can make video games and if they are approved, within 48 hours your game will be available to millions of video gamers for purchase.  Yes, you can make money at it, but the real satisfaction is from learning how to make video games.  Not only is this an opportunity for a new hobby, but a new way for you and your friends to learn valuable skills if you want a job in the gaming industry.

With XNA, you can make games that are as good or better than the big boy developers.  Of course they have large amounts of money and employees, but just think of some of the better games on Xbox Live: Geometry Wars, Castle Crashers, and Alien Hominid.  These came from small time creators that just had a passion for video games.  Now it's your turn.

Go to the XNA Game Creators Club and start making your games today.  A new type of video game toy just became available...

Fable 2 has definitely delivered on it's promise to wicked gameplay, an immersive world, great character development, and a great story line.  As good as the reviews have been, Fable 2 has made its mark in the franchises that will stay around for awhile - a rarity in the video game world.  But, as great as Peter Polyneux is, the one thing he is not is delivering all the goods on time.  His plans are so big, his schemes so big, that all the deadlines haven't been met on Fable 1 and 2.

That's why I'm disappointed with the Collector's Edition because it holds up to the tradition of being grand, but due to deadlines was not able to deliver on everything.  To make up for it the collector's edition has been reduced by $10.  It will now cost $69.99 instead of $79.99 and includes the following:

Limited Collector's Edition includes:

• Bonus DVD - Includes new 'Making-of Feature' with Peter Molyneux and the team at Lionhead Studios and art gallery
• Bonus In-Game Content (Requires LIVE account) - Includes "The Hall of the Dead" Dungeon, "The Wreckager" Legendary Cutlass Weapon and Spartan armor and energy sword
• 48-hour Xbox LIVE Gold Trial Card - With Xbox LIVE Gold, players can show off their individual hero by inviting friends into their unique version of Albion or they can visit their friends' Albion, and earn additional gold, experience and renown to take back into their own

Which is still a good deal.  Only ten bucks more and get some good in game content and a bonus making of DVD.

I'd say pick this guy up at Amazon.
