Besides a solid training, adventurers need to be well equipped to survive in Taborea. Most important are adequate clothes and a good weapon to be prepared for the dangers of the game world of Runes of Magic. But of course the different classes of the ambitious fantasy online …
That’s right, you heard me. WAR has come. Today begins the next chapter in the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR) saga - otherwise known as beta. The closed beta ends with a massive RvR battle with up …
Judging from the video, it looks like I was right in that the developers have chosen to pit the Federation back against the Klingon Empire to give players a rivalry. The big ship battles looked great …
Jordan Weisman, the founder of FASA Corporation and creator of the MechWarrior franchise has reacquired the license for MechWarrior back from Microsoft along with a few other properties previously in the FASA catalog. He has taken his newly reacquired franchises back and launched a new game company to boot, Smith and Tinker. While he hasn’t made …
Mythic Entertainment released a video today showing off what some of the Realm vs Realm and Siege warfare action is going to look like …
It’s a little ironic maybe that the original Fallout was considered an unofficial sequel to Electronic Arts earlier title Wastelands but couldn’t use the name due to rights issues as Fallout 3 hasn’t been without problems of its own.
Fallout 3 …
The first of dungeon to be announced by the Warhammer Online team is The Bastion Stair. Both the Order and Destruction are drawn to this source of Chaos power. The Order will …
When I first saw the trailers and game play footage of Diablo 3, I must say I was impressed. Finally things in the game looked the way I thought they should have. I was especially impressed with the end boss characters being much larger, looking more like you think a boss should look. Mean.
But there …
As the title of the post makes obvious, this was a very slow gaming weekend. I messed around a bit in Call of Duty 4, working toward getting my gold AK-47 (I have no idea why I want one) and spent an hour or so in World of Warcraft leveling up my mage to level …
Oh the great debates we could have! I hear people complaining in World of Warcraft battlegrounds all the time when a twink kills them. They complain because he is uber powerful with all that extra gear! Being that I’m usually playing a twink myself the complaints go in one ear and out the other without …
I was just reading an article by Kevin Murnane over at Massively about greed. Kevin’s right in that there is a lot of greed in MMO’s - friends stabbing friends in the back for epic loot and the like. With that in mind I started reflecting on end game content and …
Warhammer Online is definitely garnering more and more of my attention lately with the let down of Age of Conan and the repetition of World of Warcraft making me look for new horizons. Yesterday afternoon I was reading some Ten Ton Hammer interviews with WAR developer Mark Jacobs about the …
Well, that feels like a waste of $90. I have this fancy box, this cool leather map and a game account I’m no longer going to play - at least not in the near future. Age of Conan for me was a fun break away from the normal MMORPG in it’s unique style of combat …
Dice and Electronic Arts are sitting on a virtual gold mine with the battlefield series as a possible candidate for the next big MMO. Overall the vast majority of gamer’s fall into one of three main categories: MMORPG, FPS and Strategy. With a title like the Battlefield series that originated in the FPS and already …
I recently read a few posts at various other sites talking about how all the MMORPG’s coming out as of late have been pretty well cookie cutter games. In other words, the same game repackaged with a few ’stand out’ features. Like AoC for example, a lot of people are comparing that to WoW in …
Awhile back, I went to visit my brother who plays a lot more console games than I do and he had rented Mass Effect for the weekend from Blockbuster. I’m not big on game pads but he coaxed me into trying it out, since it’s more fun than just watching him play I gave it …
Massively just ran a story on WAR: How to Conquer a Capital City in which they explain the end game scenario that Realm vs Realm combat in WAR focuses on. In Realm vs Realm, just about everything you do contributes …
One game I’ve been watching lately has been Stargate Worlds, an MMO based on the popular television series, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. I’ll admit, I’m not to up-to-date on the story line in Atlantis, I’ve maybe seen 2 episodes but SG-1 was a real …
Trying to build on the popularity of WAR in the Oceanic community, EA announced recently that they’ll be hosting a dedicated Oceanic server on mainland Australia. The server will be available for play to anyone in the world but is primarily designed to offer gamers in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and other Southeast Asian territories …
Some cool new features coming along with the next expansion to World of Warcraft “Wrath of the Lich King”, no doubt aimed at fending off serious competition from Age of Conan. For example, some of the new quest mechanices they are …
Age of Conan, the long anticipated MMO is finally set for release this month! I gave up on this game ever coming out a while back and stumbled across it in my musings. It looks better than ever and looks like all the major features promised will be included in initial release. …
In my vision of the sequel to Star Wars Galaxies, vehicles would have combat roles rather than just fancy transports such as they are now. Vehicles such as the AT-AT, AT-ST and AT-RT would not be pets users control from the side lines, rather vehicles people could enter and control in battles. The combat class …
Before you get your hopes up, no there is no Star Wars Galaxies sequel in the works, at least not that I am aware of. This is just a short list of some of the things I would like to see included if SOE and Lucasarts decided to make another go at it. The chances …
One of my first and most loved professions in Star Wars Galaxies was the Creature Handler. In pre-game dream mode I never thought of being a Creature Handler at all. Being able to tame and control pets didn’t seem to top my list of things to do in a Star Wars game. I had dreams …
While writing about my past experiences with Star Wars Galaxies, I started to feel pretty nestalgiac and started looking at SWG to see of any changes. Sadly, it looks like Sony is flushing this once great game right down the toilet and not looking back. However, there is a new hope Star Wars Galaxies fans! …
I have so many rants for this game I could, and probably will, go on all day. In the early days this game was great. It’s everything, well almost everything, you would expect from the Star Wars universe. Combat was fun and challenging. The crafting system was actually fun and rewarding, albeit a bit tedious …
I remember in pre-release videos and pictures seeing a full blown AT-AT (All Terrain Attack Transport) walking around. This thing was HUGE! In the video they had it walking the sands of Tatooine and for a size comparison they stuck a Krayt dragon next to it. …
