A new week has arrived, and we're back to shed some light on last week's media coverage on our favorite upcoming online game--Aion. Read on--a lot has been going on!

Among the more notable things being squeezed through the Internet tubes were Aion's two faction Prologue videos, featured on several portals, including GameSpot (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/aion/videos.html), IGN (http://media.pc.ign.com/media/822/822535/vids_1.html), and Ten Ton Hammer (http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/72280), the latter applauding Aion's voiceover work.

The second Aion podcast is another popular highlight worth backtracking and checking up on if you missed it, where we pull the lid off of character creation, classes, and customization. G4 began by <a href="http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/698001/Exclusive-Aion-Video-Podcast-Classes--Customization.html">posting it exclusively last Tuesday, paving the way for Massively (http://www.massively.com/2009/08/05/second-aion-vidcast-now-available/) posting it later in the evening and Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5331475/creating-a-character-in-aion) following on Wednesday.

Worth swooping down on to investigate more closely are also GameSpy's impressions (http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/aion/1009905p1.html) of the game following a guided tour conducted by our very own Associate Producer Lani "Liv" Blazier (http://www.twitter.com/aion_liv).

For those of you with ambitions in the line of finance, be sure to catch MMORPG.com's correspondent article "Aion: An Early Look At The Markets" (http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/253/feature/3366/Aion-An-Early-Look-At-The-Markets.html), which takes a look at the current state of Aion's economy and offers tips for new players.

The Escapist's front page offers another interesting article (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/6349-Preview-Aion) where John Funk shares his own experiences with Aion, as well as a neatly put together video preview to help paint the picture of Aion even better!

To conclude last week's highlights, check out Ten Ton Hammer's Spiritmaster Class Guide, which takes you under the hood of Aion's feared ruler of the elements (http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/72289). Ten Ton Hammer followed its guide up with an in-depth article aimed to help you understand the lore of Aion better (http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/72385), in order to enrich your gaming experience.

Thus ends this week's web roundup, but be sure to stay tuned for more Aion coverage during the week both here, on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aion/94261718827) and by following our Twitter feeds (@aion_ayase (http://www.twitter.com/aion_ayase), @aion_liv (http://www.twitter.com/aion_liv), @aion_xaen (http://www.twitter.com/aion_xaen), @aion_amboss (http://www.twitter.com/aion_amboss)).
