CrossOver Games, a commercial implementation of Windows emulator Wine, has been updated to version 10.1, bringing support for the new (and seemingly popular) Rift MMORPG to Linux and Mac PCs. Beyond other bug and stability fixes, CrossOver 10.1 finally lets you install World of Warcraft with the Blizzard Downloader, and support for Star Trek Online's launcher has been improved a bit (but the ...

digg_url = 'http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2010/07/07/blizzard-starcraft-2-and-world-of-warcraft-facebook-integration-real-id'; I could clamber onto my soap box and rant all day about Blizzard's pathetic, poorly thought-out Real ID implementation - but - as this isn't a games blog, I've been told to keep it short and sweet. So, straight to the diabolical point: Real ID is just the ...

In news that makes McAfee's svchost.exe mishap look like a sunny, smiley walk in the park, Symantec and its Norton suite of security tools has found World of Warcraft to be malware. Countless installations of World of Warcraft were destroyed until it was rapidly fixed on Thursday last week. In fairness, it was quite an easy mistake to make: Symantec uses human analysts to flag programs with ...

Yup, it's been a long time coming, but the out-of-game value-added services for World of Warcraft are finally emerging. The subscriber base has seemingly stagnated at a meager 13 million, and Blizzard [or Activision...] is looking for other creative ways of milking its bulbous bovine. First we saw in-game vanity items -- like pets and mounts -- and now we're actually seeing the start of an ...

My name's Sebastian... and I'm a raider. Not just any raider -- a hardcore raid leader. World of Warcraft stopped being a game for me years ago: now it's simply a matter of organization, time-management and logistics. I've got my in-game routine down perfectly, but out-of-game -- in 'real life' -- some kind of to-do list, a task list, a quest tracker would be great. You can probably see where I'm ...

Are you bored with the default WoW music? It's great and all, but after five and a half years, you might be a little weary. Picking flowers is great, but mining mithril ore to the Rocky Fanfare theme is even better! Or perhaps you're of the other, older, lore nerdy school: you love one of the Blizzard tracks so much that you want it to play all the time, no matter where you are! Well, you're in ...

You know from first impressions of the Curse website and download page that this is going to be one smooth app. The Curse Client sure has come on a long way since its early, ugly, clunky days. Now, with version 4, it has finally reached maturity. Sexy, sleek, easy-to-use maturity. The Curse Client primarily manages your add-ons for World of Warcraft. It keeps them fresh and up-to-date with a ...

This is one of the most popular and effective tools to improving your WoW gameplay. No, it's not the Peggle add-on (though that is very cool) -- I'm actually talking about an external application! Something you can use in the office, away from your gaming PC! This tool is very popular amongst the serious World of Warcraft players but chances are, if you're a little more casual, you've probably ...

Here's one for all the hardcore World of Warcraft players out there. If you play WoW on a Mac, and you need to know at a glance whether your favorite server is up, WoW Watcher is for you. Not only does it do a great job of displaying the server lists, it also includes a menubar item and Growl support. That way, you can get notifications instantly, without ever having to switch focus to the app. ...
