or her design made into an official trading card to be

Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef Of Destruction Reviewed
Yu-Gi-Oh! is a popular trading card game created by Konami.
Not only that, but it's also an anime television series too!
This game is purely based on the anime, and this means it
ditches the ground-breaking trading card game's rules and
replaces them with stand-ins (really bad ones).

WoW bans 76,000 accounts related to gold sales
Here's the blurb from the official WoW site:
In our continued efforts to combat cheating in World of
Warcraft, more than 76,000 accounts were closed and 11
million gold was removed from the game economies in Europe,
Korea, and the US in the month of September. The closed
accounts were associated with activities that violate World
of Warcraft's Terms of Use, such as using third-party
programs that allow cheating, and farming gold and items.
These types of activities can severely impact the economy of
a realm and the overall game enjoyment for all players.

World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Screenshots
It seems like an eternity since Blizzard Entertainment
announced the existence of The Burning Crusade, the first
expansion pack to their wildly successful World of Warcraft.
In The Burning Crusade, players will be able to take control
of two new races, learn new spells, level up to 70 and even
journey through the dreaded Dark Portal to face the
challenges beyond. The previous barely scratches the surface
of what The Burning Crusade has in store for adventurers
around the globe.

The Sword of a Thousand Truths 'Exists'
I was reluctant to report on this as any sort of news, but
since this is one slow ass Monday, I might as well. The
Sword of a Thousand Truths, featured in the World of
Warcraft South Park episode, has become (or probably has
been ever since the episode's inception) an actual World of
Warcraft in game item.

WoW Virtual Game Item Purchases May Be Taxed Soon
"That'll be $15.16 for that Silver Sword. What? The extra
cost is sales tax." This sort of conversation may be the
reality soon enough in MMOs with an in-game economy. While
the purchase of in-game goods has not been taxed in the
past, the increasing significance of MMOs has made it
impossible for the government to ignore. More inside...
As the popularity of MMO games has grown, so has the amount
of money that players spend on them. These virtual economies
have heretofore gone untaxed, but their increasing
significance has caught the eyes of the U.S. government.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Goes Gold
Aussie and New Zealand release date gets pinned down.
Set for release on the PlayStation 2 on November 17 in
Australia and New Zealand, everyone's favourite blond,
spiky-haired fisticuffer, Naruto, gets his cel-shaded rear

that same description could apply to half the cast of Dragon
Ball Z, not to mention most other animes. Hmmm.
