It should be remembered that we reported back in December 2007 on the cool World of Warcraft edition Dell XPS M1730 laptop. Aside from having excellent specs for Blizzard’s MMO video game, the gadget also came in with several WoW giveaways.

While there’s no doubt that the stated laptop is a must have, one still can not help but grunt about its pricing. At the time of its release, it was being sold for nearly US 5,000. The good news, however, is that Dell has announced a price cut for the gadget.

According to the official page for the WoW-inspired Dell XPS M1730, the laptop can now be purchased for just US 3,999 - a thousand dollars dropped from its original price. We know it’s still a bit pricey but the giveaways and the specs remain the same.

We’re pretty sure that a lot of gamers are wondering what Jade Raymond’s been up to after Assassin’s Creed (Micorosft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, Computer) . Ubisoft’s CEO, Yves Guillemot, gave out a few details regarding what the popular video game producer has been up to.

In an interview with GameDaily, Guillemot spilled the beans on what Jade Raymond’s been up to recently. Fans of her previous work will be pleased to know that she’s been assigned to work on a new project:

I view Jade as a very skilled and creative producer, the success of Assassin’s Creed leaves no doubt about that and the attention she received from the media is due to the anticipation, buzz and quality of the game. She’s currently working on a new project but it’s a tiny too early to share more about it.

It looks like we’re going to be hearing more from Jade Raymond in the future. Hopefully, Ubisoft decides to release more information regarding this project soon.

It’s been a while since we heard anything for the Battle March expansion for the Xbox 360 and Games for Windows title Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. It’s a good thing that Namco Bandai has sent QJ.NET a press release regarding the new character profiles.

Aside from that, we also got a handful of images that’ll further whet the appetite of fans of the franchise. So without any further ado, here are the profiles followed by some screenshots:

Dark Elf Spearmen

• Citizen-warriors of Naggaroth are most commonly armed with long, heavy bladed spears, and they are uniformly well drilled in their usage
• Each warrior is highly skilled and has reactions far better to those of lesser races, and through near constant warfare and training
• The citizen-warriors of Naggaroth are more than a match for the professional soldiers of other races

Harpies

• Harpies are feral winged creatures possessed of a savage, primeval beauty
• Some claim they are the souls of slain Witch Elves given form, others that they’re the manifestation of Khaine in his aspect of the predator
• They are creatures of Khaine, that is for sure, for they delight in the tormenting of their victims and feast upon raw flesh

Highborn

• The noble Highborn are the ruling elite of Naggaroth, and it is they who often lead the armies of conquest against the lesser races
• They’re haughty, noble and their training in the arts of war is second to none
• Equipped with the finest of Dark Elf arms and armor, they are fearsome foes on the field of battle

High Sorceress

• The High Sorceresses are the most powerful practitioners of the Dark Arts in all of Nagga-roth bar the Witch King himself, and they wield terrifying powers
• They are incredibly adept at manipulating the Winds of Magic in their rawest, most destructive form, channel-ling energies that would destroy lesser beings into powerful spells that can lay waste to enemy armies

Kaeleth

• Claimed as a babe by the bloody Witch Elf priestesses of Khaine, the infant Kaeleth was offered up to Khaine, the god of murder, and plunged ritualistically into a Cauldron of Blood
• Initiated into the Temple of Khaine, the young Dark Elf was raised as an Assassin, and over the centuries has become a master of death
• One of the Witch King’s most feared assassins, Kaeleth is a master of blades, poison and the darkness, and he’s capable of infiltrating the enemy, slaying his target and making his escape without trace.
• But it is not just the foes of the Dark Elves that must fear him - for Malekith uses Kaeleth to silence any Dark Elf foolish enough to question his authority

Lilaeth

• Bitter and fuelled by hatred, Lilaeth is a member of the dark convents of the sorceresses - a mistress of the Dark Arts.
• As are all Sorceresses she is wedded to Malekith the Witch King, and studied many years to master the channelling of the raw Winds of Magic that flow across the land.
• For centuries she has served the Witch King, and she commands devastatingly destructive magic.
• When the Witch King launched a war against his hated High Elf kin, Lilaeth fought at his side, leading a splinter army that pushed deep into Ulthuan.
• This war was eventually repelled, and Lilaeth’s army was shattered.
• At the mercy of the High Elf mage Aurelion, Lilaeth’s life was spared that she might face the wrath of the Witch King.
• Malekith has given her one opportunity to redeem her failure, and to seek her vengeance on the High Elves.

Successful businesses know what their target market is and what needs to be done in order to please them. With the gaming scene involving more females of all ages, some companies have taken to producing games that appeal to both sexes. Disney Interactive Studios is one such company.

Faye Donohue-Hill of Disney Interactive Studios said that the company’s current thrust involves making more family-oriented games. According to her, it’s all about music, innovation and group-oriented fun.

As Donohue-Hill put it:

The idea is to make games for everyone in the family, not just one particular genre. This is an all-encompassing games strategy. It s not just about games where you shoot and fight but innovation that can grant you to create music and allow others to join in at any time.

Donohue-Hill noted a few examples of upcoming Disney Interactive Studios’ games that fit this description. One of these is Pure (PS3, Personal computer, Xbox 360), which promises a butterflies-inducing offroad racing experience. Another example is that of the multi-platformer Prince Caspian: The Game, which grants several players to jump in and out of the adventure at any time.
