Southpeak dropped some new X-Blades screens off before heading out to NYCC this weekend. If you guys are there, check out their demos of the upcoming games! Lucky you!

Flash of Light
Wow! The Light Magic truly is awe inspiring. I mean it’s not at all what I thought it was going to be. I was expecting some sparks and maybe some fireworks, but this is amazing. I’m able to form powerful beams of light, bundle them together, and shoot them toward enemies. It is so powerful it consumes everything in the vicinity and works really well against servants of the dark. I truly am amazed at what this can do against groups of enemies. (Requirement: Ray of Light)

Lightning Blades
Nothing says, “leave me alone”, than lightning running up and down your blades. I learned this move from a mysterious man I met one day on the road. The rumor is that it was Thor the old God of Thunder himself. I personally don’t believe it but whatever the case I’m now a stronger fighter because of it. Now I can dance through hordes of enemies striking sparks with every blow. If that man truly was the God of Thunder I bet I’ve made him proud.

Pangolin Sorcerers:
The most skilled servants of The Dark, Pangolin Sorcerers can use several different kinds of magic. They’re vulnerable, however, to all kinds of Elemental magic, including teleportation. Those which have the ability to ward off magic attacks are only susceptible to Cold magic.

The Curse:
This semi-sentient embodiment of Dark magic is not able to summon any attack spells, but it can invoke various deadly creatures. Weapons and spells do very little damage to the Curse, but after one destroys all the creatures of the Curse has invoked, it recedes for a short time.

Cronous (cronous.neofun.com), a popular MMORPG developed and published by Lizard Interactive, is preparing a special event to be held from February 12 to 26 for all Cronous fans in celebration of Saint Valentine’s Day.

During the event period, monsters will be dropping shattered pieces of “Love” which players have to collect and mend to make it whole again. Monsters will drop only one kind of “Love” piece but when you give it to another player, it will turn into the other type. It means players will have to exchange “Love” pieces with another.

The player with most wholly mended “Love’ pieces will get a Love Pendant, a unique limited item. If you don’t want the pendant, you can also use “Love” pieces to restore your HP and MP during combat.

Cronous players can expect to double the fun as new update is coming up this February. To find out more in detail about all the interesting features on the globally played MMORPG Cronous, please visit the website cronous.neofun.com.
