Updates

No content this update, since I've been busy with an entirely unrelated project.
Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires is out in North America. I have not played it long enough to give a well-informed opinion, but my first impression is "GOD YES, I CAN FINALLY GIVE ORDERS TO ALLIES DURING BATTLE." Tentative thumbs up. Sadly, no Japanese voice acting. European players, you'll be getting your hands on this sometime this summer.
Speaking of voice acting, Zhang Fei's American voice, Bob Papenbrook, passed away last month. Damned shame. Great performer, always liked his portrayal of Zhang Fei. (Credit to Undertaker for the heads-up.)
In other release news, PSP owners have Shin Sangoku Musou 2nd Evolution to look forward to, read more about it here and here. No word on a release date yet. (Credit to Jeanine for the linkage.) Don't forget about Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper for the PC, which is now available in the States. And, most exiciting, Shin Sangoku Musou BB (Dynasty Warriors online) is finally taking shape. So far it's only in beta, and only in Japanese. There is absolutely no word on whether this game will be made available outside of Japan.

Today this website is four years old. Happy birthday DWCG!
Xing Cai's profile is done, and it was pleasantly frustrating to do. Yue Ying's profile has been revised and is also now done. The FAQ and Sitemap have been updated. I've moved the Timeline and Lifespans to a new History section, which also includes a page for the maps I've been making. Updated the General and Fanart links. Updated the merchandise section. The new quiz result images for Wu have been uploaded; only Wei remains to be redone. I've made minor alterations to the site layout.
Another update should follow this one soon, since the cosplay section is pleading for attention. It requires some PHP coding, which I'm not really in the mood for, which is why it's not done yet.
Reminder: Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires for the PS2 and Xbox 360 will be in North American stores by March 30th.

News update! Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires has been announced, and looks to be totally awesome. Samurai Warriors 2 was announced a while ago, along with a PSP Samurai Warriors port.
Not much for a content update, because I have been busy with holidays, video games, a lot of reading, and debilitating illness. (I'm all better now, thanks for asking.) I've uploaded the new quiz result images for the Shu test, the Wei and Wu ones still aren't done. Edited the Sitemap and Xing Cai's profile (but it requires further revision still), and put up my review of Dynasty Warriors 5: XL. And added a new wallpaper from Chibichan, which should have been up in the last update. That's it for today! Hope you all had a good holiday, and Merry Winter-een-mas!
