UK TV program, The Gadget Show, has nominated World of Warcraft for 'Gadget of the Decade'.
The program, which reviews and compares all the latest gadget and gizmos, has short-listed WoW, along with Grand Theft Auto III and Singstar for the award. Other things on the list include YouTube, the USB flash drive, Google Earth, The Nintendo Wii and Facebook.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
As much as I love WoW, I don't think it has much chance against the likes of YouTube and the USB drive. Let alone things like the iPhone.
Am I getting old, in that I think of gadgets as physical things?
Even excusing that - I guess I kinda see WoW as a gadget in a sense, and I suppose Singstar is electronic karaoke which kinda counts, but GTA? *Really?*
while a debatable form of a gadget in the first place. i don't think its going to be voted higher than the likes of Wikipedia or Facebook.
WoW is really a neat piece of kit. entertainment and community in one. Very cool, but hardly a gadget?
Hmm, no offense to WoW lovers but I don't think it should win this.
