Zu Online - Ten Tough Bosses in Wei-Yang Palace

Zu Online
As one of the major battlefields in the battle between the Deities and Demons, Wei-Yang Palace in Zu Online (http://zu.igg.com/) became littered with corpses soon after the battle broke out. Ten thousand years have passed since the battle and the evil forces have risen again. To re-occupy Wei-Yang Palace, the evil forces have even sent an extremely strong vanguard to begin the attack on Wei-Yang Palace. Among them, the ten daring vanguard warriors are especially tough and are even regarded as on the same level as strong bosses.


No. 1: Pagoda Guardian
They are heavenly guardians with a small pagoda in their hands. They were originally common monks in Zontan Palace but they have since joined the Purple Mansion force because they could not bear the strict rules and became the apprentices of the Vacant Monk, one of the three talented masters of the Purple Mansion.
No. 2: Axe Guardian
They are heavenly guardians with a heavy axe in their hands. They were originally common monks in Zontan Palace but they have joined the Purple Mansion force because they could not bear the strict rules and became the apprentices of the Vacant Monk, one of the three talented masters of the Purple Mansion.
No. 3: White-star Canaria
Their wings are covered with white feathers. They have often attacked the passers-by since they were demonized by the Taoists from the Purple Mansion.
No. 4: Soul-eating Beetle
They were originally primitive beetles in Wei-Yang Palace. They look sky-blue in color and have the Eight Diagrams carved on their back. Someone says they often appear on Tanzoo Platform eating the souls of punished celestial beings. But they have become manic and agitated since they were demonized.
No. 5: Wandering Ghost
Wei-Yang Tomb is where the celestial beings’ bones are placed. When the Purple Mansion forces broke into the tomb, they struck down tons of memorial tablets, which have released many ghosts to wander in the tomb.
No. 6: Blackarm Taoist
They are Taoists shrouded in black robes and carrying long scepters in their hands.
No. 7: Mist-riding Guard
They are golden armored heavenly guards. They were originally nobody in Heaven, but when they helped the Purple Mansion forces a lot in the Zontan Palace Battle they won the Sparrow Mansion Lord’s honor.
No. 8: Fiery Swan
The Fiery Swans were originally primitive creatures in Wei-Yang Palace. They are covered with blackish feathers and have very sharp claws. They became ruthless after being demonized by the Taoists from Purple Mansion. They have damaged Wei-Yang Palace and they often attack the forces of good.
No. 9: Stony Scarecrow
No one knows who made those Stony Scarecrows. But everyone knows they are quite intelligent. They can move and even know the language of the humans. They often serve as vehicles in Shaoyeen Ferry for carrying items.
No. 10: Acinaciform Maid
Originally a snake demon, it became a human faced creature with a snake body after being enlightened by Neeshew. Rumors say that it often stares at the curved moon at night.
Since you’ve learnt much about the ten tough bosses, are you scared? Remember, knowledge is half the battle!.

EA brings Scrabble to PSP, DS and Xbox Live


Fans of casual, family-friendly games are about to see their circle of fun widen with a slate of new Hasbro-branded digital play experiences on a variety of platforms from Electronic Arts in 2009. Leading the charge is SCRABBLE, which rocketed to the No. 1 position on Pogo.com with more than 2.5 million players laying down virtual tiles since its June 2008 launch.

The best-selling crossword puzzle board game is on deck to land on handheld platforms including the Nintendo DS and Sony PlayStation Portable system (PSP) in March 2009 in the US and Canada. EA is also gearing up to inject nostalgic fun into the Xbox LIVE Arcade by bringing perennial board game favorites to the popular platform. Under a Hasbro Family Game Night banner, games such as SCRABBLE (US and Canada only), BOGGLE, BATTLESHIP, YAHTZEE, CONNECT FOUR, SORRY! and SORRY! Sliders will begin to roll out in Spring 2009. EA will showcase the highly anticipated lineup at the Consumer Electronics Show on January 8-11, 2009 in Las Vegas.

SCRABBLE on the Nintendo DS and PSP will offer something for every crossword puzzle fan with three modes of play including: Classic, which offers traditional play; Speed, where players race the clock; and, the new fast paced SCRABBLE SLAM card game where players try to be the first to discard all their SLAM cards by making four letter words. SLAM will be available for the first time digitally on the handheld versions of SCRABBLE. With six difficulty levels, SCRABBLE will serve up a Training mode with six training exercises that enable new or rusty players to polish their skills before their first big showdown. SCRABBLE comes loaded with extras such as the SCRABBLE Word Finder and Wi-Fi multiplayer capability (both single and multi-cart play). Debuting in March 2009, the Nintendo DS and PSP games are expected to be rated “E” for Everyone and carry an MSRP of $29.99.

The SCRABBLE Nintendo DS and PSP games will join the roster of previously released versions which have proven to hold great appeal, similar to its board game counterpart. In the past two years, EA launched three separate mobile versions of the game (in the US and Canada only) – including SCRABBLE for the iPod®, iPhone™ and feature phones. Online versions of SCRABBLE also launched on Pogo.com and social networking sites in June 2008. All have been widely adopted and received accolades across platforms.

SCRABBLE was the No. 1 multiplayer game in its launch month competing against more than 100 other offerings on Pogo.com. In July 2008, more than 5 million SCRABBLE games were played equating to 4.3 million hours of play.
SCRABBLE for the iPhone and iPod touch launched in July and quickly rose into the top 25 of all applications. Today, out of over 8,000 applications on the App Store, SCRABBLE remains in or near the top 50.


EA and Hasbro will stock Xbox LIVE Arcade with Hasbro Family Game Night, a crowd-pleasing assortment of games that are instantly recognizable household names such as SCRABBLE, CONNECT FOUR, BOGGLE, YAHTZEE, BATTLESHIP, SORRY!, and SORRY! Sliders. All games will feature both original and new ways to play, including a Party Mode that features multiple mini-game versions of each title. Additional customization features will allow players to earn virtual trophies, furniture and themes to decorate their personal virtual game rooms. The Hasbro Family Game Night lineup will take full advantage of Xbox LIVE community features such as online play, Achievements, the ability to launch new games without leaving the environment, and sharing customized space with friends. The EA Hasbro virtual game closet is slated to open in Spring 2009 with multiple games followed by additional releases throughout the year.
