World of Warcraft is 4 today Blizzard celebrate with a FREE baby bear companion...

Four years ago on November 23rd, Blizzard opened its doors to Azeroth and then quickly shut them, opening and closing them several times until they were sure they had enough servers to handle the massive rush of players eager to enter the World of Warcraft.

To celebrate 1,460 days of lost time, broken relationships, and weight gain, folks who log into the game today are gifted with the achievement "WoW's 4th Anniversary" and an adorable little baby polar bear to follow them around everywhere they go.

For those of you online right now, you actually have to log off, then log-in again to receive the award.

Consult your instruction manual for directions on how to actually log off.

Grand Theft Auto IV PC video editor - what can you do?

So we know there's going to be a video editor for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV (PC), but what can you do with it, and how do you do it?

Rockstar has dropped details on the versatile little app that will allow just about anyone to easy create and share game clips with the Social Club TV website. To start, all you have to do is hit F2 and the previous 30-40 seconds of gamezplay are dumped into a clip.

Open up the video editor from your in-game cell phone, and from there you can view the clips, use the editor to string them together, adding music, special effects, titles, and transitions, and then head to the upload section to post them directly on the Rockstar Games Social Club TV site for everyone's viewing enjoyment.

World's best selling video game is Madden 08 football sim

If you asked most games what they think the best selling game in the World over the last three months was bet the answer would be Madden 08. More likely Grand Theft Auto or FIFA 09 but no EA's football sim out sold them all selling almost 3 million copies beating Wii Fit into second place ( maybe if you could get Wii Fit it would have won!).

Wii Fit sold just over 2 million copies while Madden sold well in the US only 36,000 copies were sold outside the homeland.

What was third? Star Wars The Force Unleashed sold 1.7 million copies to grad that place with Pokemon Platinum (with 1.5 million) in fourth fifth was Mario Kart with 1.48 million sales).
