Here at Fantasy World we've been working tirelessly to bring you the website you deserve, with new feature, functions and content that make your experience that little bit better. In March we launched the Editorials section and we have many more surprises on the horizon. All this work comes at a price. Between hosting costs, man labour and the time required to keep the site moving forward it’s understandable that things are going to start costing quite a bit of money.
Which is why I'm proud to announce that as off today, Fantasy World XD Gold Membership is now avalible for just £29.99 a year, with free bathroom cleaner with every purchase!
Of course I'm joking, however we do need your support and that is precisely why we've partnered with Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and Play.com. Everyone here buys video games, and both these sites offer some of the best deals and prices around. The best part is by visiting their site through Fantasy World XD's specially formatted links, for any purchase you make; a small slice of that sell will make its way back to us to support your favourite little corner of the Internets.
Support Fantasy World XD by buying your games through Amazon and Play.com, so we can make our site that little bit better, just for you. Please check out the message board thread for more details.
British Top Ten for the week ending 23rd August.
With the whole top five remaining unmoved from last week there isn't a whole lot you can actually say about this weeks Top Ten, except to note that Olympic love continues, even giving the PS3 game a boost in the rankings. Although not listed here its also interesting to note that Super Smash Bros. Brawl is continuing to sell, currently lurking just outside the Top Ten at number eleven.

New Releases for 25th August 2008 (DLC).
This week's downloadable contest for Wii is actually surprisingly good. For Virtual Console we have two classic PC Engine RPG's rolled into one meaty package of goodness, as well as the SNK fighter Samurai Shodown 2. Meanwhile on WiiWare we have Helix, a "innovative music rhythm game" that utilises the Wiimote's motion control.

New Releases for 22nd August 2008 (United Kingdom)
It's a good job that August is almost over as I don't think I could take another week of such amazing retail releases as "Mary King's Riding School" and "Carnival: Funfair Games". Much more Interesting is the Virtual Console release of Super Mario RPG (never previously released in Europe) and the return of The Lost Levels, previously only released on the Virtual Console for a limited time, now available for good.

New Releases for 21st August 2008 (DLC).
While Sony continues to flap about on the floor like a fish out of water when it comes to handling their release of PSone titles on the PlayStation Network, Insomniac Games is here to rescue you with Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, a standalone follow up to Future. Also available on the American PC store (and on the PS3) is a downloadable version of the highly rated Jeanne D'Arc, for PSP.

So long as we make like China and rig our judges, I'll be cool with it. ;)

And these people, Ladies and Gents, are the reason why FW:XD is so appealing. ^__^

Come on! Don't leave me alone! China got MOST of their Golds from events which required judges' scores. Anyone seen my tinfoil hat?

We need to bring back tug of war for our Olympics.
