Coming Attractions for Guild Wars Live

From: http://www.warcry.com/news/view/88128-Guild-Wars-Wintersday-08-On-Its-Way Guild Wars players have a lot to look forward to this Wintersday including the holiday's arrival in the Eye of the North environs. Festivities are always packed with cool potions, holiday chapeaus and nifty snowmen. Grab the other details below:

Wintersday is coming, and for the first time ever the Eye of the North will be taking part in the festivities. The Ebon Vanguard's tower stronghold will be decorated for the season (along with Lion's Arch, Kamadan, Droknar's Forge, and Ascalon City), but visitors can enjoy a lot more than just the spectacular scenery. This year's festival includes some of the most popular events, quests, and goodies from past Wintersday celebrations, plus a whole host of new things to discover, including brand new NPCs, quests, rewards, and a special holiday PvP tournament.

The temperature is dropping and the calendar is down to its last few pages, which means the year-end holidays are upon us—and that means it's time for the annual Guild Wars^® Wintersday Art Contest. If you've ever wanted to creatively combine your holiday spirit with your love of Guild Wars, this is your golden opportunity. To participate, put your imagination and your artistic talents to work by crafting a piece of seasonal art with a holiday tone and a Guild Wars theme. Any and all ideas are welcome: draft an invitation to the Wintersday Festival, create a poster celebrating the event, or assemble a holiday collage with images of Guild Wars characters. Whatever you choose to create, in whatever medium, don't miss this chance to share your artistic gifts and spread some seasonal joy!

By Matthew Rorie Design by Collin Oguro Carl Johnson’s back on the set after five years in Liberty City, returning to his old haunts in San Andreas to mourn for his mother, dead after an act of senseless violence. An already unpleasant homecoming gets worse, though, as crooked cops set him up for the murder of a policeman, he discovers that his neighborhood is falling apart under an influx of drugs, and that his old gang is barely capable of holding their territory. Needless to say, the solution to all of these problems involves a whole lot of violence, as befits the latest and greatest entry in the extraordinarily popular GTA series of games. Given that Rockstar created a massive game world in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, with only a year’s worth of development time between that game and Grand Theft Auto III, it should come as no surprise that the world of GTA: San Andreas, with two years of development soaked into it, is one of the biggest worlds ever modeled in an action game. Instead of focus on a mere state, Rockstar has enlarged their focus, this time choosing to model an entire state, with three separate cities and a huge amount of countryside to explore. Everything is bigger and better in San Andreas, so get exploring! In this guide, we’ll provide you with a rundown of the game’s weapons, a complete walk-through of the game’s many missions, locations for all of the hidden oysters, photo ops, graffiti tags, a listing of weapons, and the proverbial much, much more. Big thanks to the guys from gta-junkies.com for supplying the location maps for this guide.
