Fallout 3

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.

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 …

Diablo 3 Art Petition

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.

Weekend Report – Slow Gaming

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 …

MMORPG: Should PVP be based on Skill or Gear?

Age of Conan Subscription Cancelled

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 …

MMORPG Cookie Cutters

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 …
