First off, the site design is very nice, a bit too busy for my tastes, but pretty cool nonetheless; I love the color scheme, too. However, the site takes a LONG time to load (I mean it) as it is bogged down by a graphics-heavy layout and bandwidth-eating (and annoying as hell) flash ads.

Second, the focus of the site isn’t very clear from the get go. The site may be called Cheat Planet, but the first thing I see are gaming news, editorials and various other features. Not cheats. Heck, the cheats are overshadowed by the other content, which made me doubt that I had even stepped into a cheat site.

Fortunately, the cheat codes ARE there, and the organization is pretty straightforward (platform name). The site also offers hints, easter eggs and glitches alongside codes; it also offers game guides. There are also game-specific pages that offer additional guides and whatnot for big name titles such as Halo 3 and GTA 4.

Overall, the design needs to be trimmed down, ads cut and the game cheats displayed more prominently for the site to live up to its name of Cheat Planet.

The company’s site design is very nice, friendly and straightforward without any form of distracting graphics or ads. The text itself is pretty simple, too, hoping to attract gamers into selling their account for cold, hard cash. When it comes to selling your account, the service seems clear-cut: it is a six-step process that shouldn’t take much time on the user’s behalf. And the best thing about the site is instant quotes, so that you know how much you will be getting.

For payments, the service uses Paypal, the most used online payment service, which may be a godsend for many gamers not having access to other forms of receiving payments. Those suspicious of such sites will be delighted to know that they support the use lawyers, and they offer testimonials from users. Quite interestingly, the site itself notes that having testimonials on their own website may lead to more suspicion, so they make use of a third-party rating site to ensure fairness. The ratings are quite good, too, so there’s seems to be no need to fear.

So, if you’re looking to sell WoW accounts, head on over to their site. Good luck!

“This way titles are not just considered if they are not selling well or not getting good reviews, but actually a combination of both,” he said. “We will also give a three-month notice before delisting any title. Overall I think you will find this will focus the catalogue more on larger, more immersive games and make it much easier to find the games you are looking for.”

He also revealed that their team is working on a new digital rights management tool that will allow gamers to better consolidate licenses for downloadable content to a single console for online and offline play.

DUNGEON PARTY is a free MMOG for the PC platform. Two teams of up to 5 players compete over one or more rounds and victory is only assured when one of them gets out of the dungeon with the treasure. Players can choose from one of 6 character types and they can customize their hero with various items of clothing or other objects that might come in useful in a dark corner! Regular tournaments promise games of even greater intensity and will allow all players to measure themselves against the best, thanks to a real-time ranking system. Get ready to don your finest magic robes or your must sturdy armor and let’s see if you have what it takes to become masters of the dungeon.

It is due out during Q4 2008.

Apparently the game will make use of a “very accurate and realistic throw system”, enabling players to toss and bounce balls into cups placed across the table. It will make use of the motion-sensitive Wii controllers.

Don’t believe me? Check out the trailer below.

The preview further stated that when another player is not present, the game will couple the player with an AI controlled buddy. The game will separate the duo at points and include more open areas than its predecessors.

For the first time in the series, a cover system will be present, allowing players to “lock to a wall and fire around the corner.” There will also be a dodging mechanic similar to the one seen in God Hand.

Additionally, the game has been confirmed to feature the Mercenaries mini-game, a challenge mode first introduced in Resident Evil 3.
