We wouldn't normally post details leaked from the alpha test for Wrath of the Lich King, the new World of Warcraft expansion - everything at this point is subject to change, anyway. However, this one is just too juicy to miss.
Screens posted by deathknight.info reveal that typing /achievements into the console brings up an all-new achievements interface, complete with some placeholder achievements which seem to have points values attached to them.
The system appears similar to the 'deeds' introduced by Lord of the Rings Online last year, and the Tome of Knowledge in the as yet unreleased Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
Achievements spotted include levelling characters to 80 on both Alliance and Horde factions, and completing a daily quest each day for five days.
"We haven't made any announcements regarding this type of system for the game, and we don't plan to comment on rumours," a Blizzard spokesperson told Eurogamer.
Before you get excited, note that the feature is not yet integrated with the front-end of the alpha version of the game, and may not make it into the expansion if Blizzard runs out of time, holds it back for a future patch, or simply decides against it.
However, it is an indication that the developer is aware that its closest competition has stolen a march on it with this popular feature, and is investigating ways to retrofit it to WOW. Our money says you'll hear more about this soon, possibly from Blizzard's World Wide Invitational fan convention in Paris later this month.

NVIDIA boss Roy Taylor believes the value of consoles means no-one will make PC-exclusive games any more.
Speaking exclusively to Eurogamer, he said he wasn't threatened by the machines from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo; instead he sees an "exciting future" of co-existence.
"I think we have to face the facts - the value of consoles is such that no-one is going to make a PC-exclusive game in the future. Why would they? Why would they ignore consoles?" said Taylor.
"That said, PC gaming is changing - and consoles don't threaten PC gaming. They're just different. Adapting to that and understanding that is what I think is really, really important.
"Most PC gamers also own consoles - not all of them, but a lot of them. What we're seeing happen is that, yes, people are developing for Xbox 360, for PS3 - but they're also developing for PC," he added.
The reason Taylor is excited is that PC versions of games, which he says are generally "better", use console code as a baseline, and the better the baseline then the better the desktop conversion.
"The console is now a baseline. If you look at Gears of War or Assassin's Creed, they came out on console and they were great experiences - but the PC versions had additional aspects to them that also made them attractive, whether you owned the console version or not," continued Taylor.
"The PC version was better. That's something that people need to get their heads around - the console is a baseline, the PC is going to be an improved version. That's an exciting future, and that's why I don't see anything threatening about console at all.
Head over to our interview with NVIDIA boss Roy Taylor to see what he has to say about the future of graphics, why integrated solutions are ruining everything, and how the PC installed-base means it will never disappear as a gaming platform.

Obsidian Entertainment is working on a new expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2, tentatively titled Storm of the Zehir.
According to the Neverwinter Nights Vault, the game will be set after the defeat of the King of Shadows in the original campaign.
It's promised that the game will be non-linear in a way never before seen in the NWN series. Players can form their own party of adventurers instead of being grouped with NPCs who they wish would drop down and die.
There doesn't seem to be an epic quest per se, but instead you're simply dropped into the world and told to get on with it.
So if you want to raid and pillage caravans like pirates, or ally to create a blossoming trade empire, you can. We're told the economy of the world will react to whatever you do.
It sounds a bit like the original Fallout, to be honest, and includes an overland map just like it too.
There's no word on a release date yet, but based on the last expansion pack we expect this some time around Christmas.

One of the key characters in what is presumably Portal 2 has been revealed in an advert for voice over actors.
Members of subscriber-only site Breakdown Express tipped Kotaku off about the vacancy, which is for "a new game in the Portal series from Valve Software". The game is said to feature "dark comedy", and recording will begin "tentatively end of July, 2008".
If you're worried about spoilers, stop reading now.
Cave Johnson, "eccentric dead billionaire", is the character in question. He is the boss of a successful "applied science" company (Aperture Science) who is used to getting what he wants, using his high-energy salesman-like personality to win people over.
But, alas, he "starts to lose his grip on humanity" as the story unfolds, and turns from "sidekick to principle antagonist" as he "isolates himself from the people around him".
Johnson was already sleeping in the ground in the original Portal game, suggesting that the sequel may be a trip back in time. Being your "sidekick" may also mean you are rather more than a lab rat this time around.
Valve has been contacted for comment, and has previously been quite clear about there not being another Portal game planned for this year.
Spokesperson Doug Lombardi has also promised that when a sequel does arrive, it will be "equally as revolutionary" as the first.

A new expansion for highly addictive turn-based strategy title Civilization IV is on the way.
It's titled Civilization IV: Colonization and it's based, funnily enough, on 1994's Sid Meier's Colonization. You can expect a new interface, enhanced options for diplomacy, a new modding toolset and, should think so too, better graphics.
Playing as one of four European nations, you're on a mission to dominate the New World. This will involve battling the locals in various regions as well as fighting fellow colonialists.
Civilization IV: Colonization will work as a standalone game, meaning you won't need to own a copy of Civ IV to run it. The game is out this autumn.

New version of the rom manager for PC.
Changelog:
* cleaned-up and documented code for increased efficiency and to get FRI ready for open sourcing
* Relative paths are now fully supported. This means that the user can now put all of his ROMs and Emulators with FRI onto a removable data storage device and have FRI work no matter what drive letter the host operating system assigns the storage device.

* Reorganized menu bar
* FRI can now use a master FRI database as a reference for filling in missing information in the user’s ROM library. (This feature will be further developed in the coming weeks.)
* New file icon:

New version of the IBM PC (286, 386, 486, 586 and XT) and Spectrum 48k emulator for Windows.
Changelog:
- fixed couple of x86-32 CPU emulation bugs, so it is promoted to "alpha"
state (i.e. it is mostly workable, but not completly - and hardware debug
registers not implemented yet).. Main obstacle to correct OS and software
working is incomplete emulation of PC devices and BIOSes (some soft
better worked with virtual BIOS, some with real/binary - so better to try it
on both, if something failed to work). But take in account, that currently
x86 CPU faults processed quite slow (because lack of optimization - they
every time trash own block of recompilation cache to provide correct
restart of instruction). So "virtual-8086" mode EMS emulators
(emm386/qemm-like) will slowdown DOS in SPC (currently).
- small fix in VGA "double line" modes detection;
- speedup of script´s CASE construction (table-based for integer "cases" now);
- added two recommended ("Best") x86-configs to simplify emulator usage:
fast real (with binary BIOSes) and slower virtual (with scripted BIOSes - not
complete yet, because scripted VGA BIOS is under development currently);
- added support of Z80-configs to debug console (disassembling etc.);
- added support of some BIOS-es (PC/5150, Phoenix-386);
- fixed couple of bugs in emulation kernel (synchronization etc.);
- fixed some broken script error messages (now show correct scipt name);
- some fixing and cleanup in scripts of several devices and in virtual BIOS.
