Cataclysm Beta Videos: Throne of Tides Dungeon and Blackrock Caverns

Two amazing video walk-throughs by the well known Cynical Brit. Watching these will be a breath of fresh air for many World of Warcraft players as the dungeons not only look challenging, but have some added pizazz with in-game cinematics and new graphics!
