Lively launched sometime yesterday and from all I’ve read pre-launch it was supposed to be Google’s version of Second Life. I virtual world where players could explore real world environments and interact with other people. This thing was supposed to redefine how people view and use the internet.
So far, bzzzzzzzzzzz. That’s my buzzer sound. I …
Electronic Arts announced they are releasing the MySims franchise to PC this October. Previously, the game was only available on consoles but they’ve gone and built a PC version and beefed it up with some new features. Ohhh the humanity! Why did they have to go and do this to me? I’ll admit I got …
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 …

GameSpot just did some research into what it takes to run Age of Conan and what it takes to run it well. Unfortunately, the page with the full article appears to be down so I can’t get in and read what the post says - but I can read between the lines. Having played AoC …
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 …
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 …
Once again Massively delivers a unique insight to the world of warfare in their series in which they talk about the dynamics of attacking keeps and fortresses in the upcoming MMO Warhammer Online. Some of the highlights of their coverage is the siege weapons themselves. There are four classes of siege weapons …
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 …
Open beta for Rohan Blood Feud has begun and is already jam packed with testers, so much so that YNK Games has more than doubled their number of servers in the first few days of testing to accomodate the huge influx of fans and they promise to continue to increase capacity as demand also increases. …
If you’re like me, you probably get bored playing the same game day in and day out. You don’t necessarily want to abandon your favorite game but you want to break the cycle a bit and find a few others to play when that favorite MMO starts feeling more like work than play! That’s how …
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 …
Well, I spent most of Saturday trying to figure out my graphics problem just so I could get into the game. After I finally got in late Saturday night, I was able to play a bit but even after the shader fix mention in my previous post, the graphics were still funky. Shadows under objects …
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 …
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. …
Most of my game experience has been first person shooters. My first venture into MMORPG’s was Star Wars Galaxies. Needless to say this game was very anticipated from early development. The feature list, screenshots and game play videos released by the dev team were mouth watering. But the game opening was less than stellar. Many …
Well, as I mentioned before, there are many things I love about COD4. Helicopters is not one of those things. The helo in COD4 is my worst nightmare! I swear I think either I have some weird, come shoot me bug or who the helo targets …
I will delve more into my past gaming experiences in great length a little later, for now I haven’t been doing a ton of gaming thanks to life getting in the way. I’m not going to complain at all, I recently married a wonderful woman and in the process gained a new addition to the …
