While doing my usual browsing around today I found a cool little video some beta tester leaked out over YouTube.com showing the Storm Peaks in the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion for World of Warcraft.
Toward the end of the video, stay tuned for a sneak peak at what appears to be the city …
Syp over at Waaagh! has a post up about the CE for Warhammer being sold out by this coming Monday, possibly. This got me to thinking about my previous experience with a Collector’s Edition and whether or not it’s worth the money to buy the …
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 …
Happy 4th of July! I’m taking the day off of blogging to spend the day with my wife and daughter and go watch some good old celebration fireworks. If you are a hardcore gamer - I know a lot of MMORPG’s out there have their own versions of holidays, Star Wars Galaxies had a lot …
Arcade games are a great way to relax and enjoy a little bit of downtime.Most are a coin-operated entertainment machines, typically installed in businesses such as restaurants, pubs, video arcades, and Family Entertainment Centers. These games are often converted into the latest titles, which is why you rarely see older games in your local …
In my ever growing quest to see some changes take place in our fast-becoming stale MMORPG template I’m going to publish more and more ideas. Out of the box thinking is what it will take to spice up upcoming titles and give them something different from the World of Warcraft mold so many games seem to be …
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 …
I remember the thoughts that ran through my head when I first started reading pre-release info about Star Wars Galaxies, my first step into the MMORPG world. Before this I was an FPS ’stat’ whore and competition shooter. I only played first person shooters, mostly in the Delta Force series from Novalogic back in those …
If you’re looking for a bit of fun this weekend I’ve found something you may be interested in that’s off the beaten path. The staff of writers, leads and columnists over at Massively.com are hosting their first get together being sponsored by …
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 …
Cursed.com has launched a beta of the Age of Conan Armory. The beta version of the Armory currently supports a functional feat calculator as well as community driven feat builds for players to show off their PVP feat setup. The beta site …
There are rumors floating around that Bioware is working on two things right now, first they seem to be working on a new MMO project. Kotaku has an article about some of the MMO rumors and is speculating that the new MMO is not going to be based on KOTOR. However, if you look …
The ultimate goal of any MMORPG is to totally immerse you in the game world. That’s what keeps you coming back, in the game world you can be whoever you want to be. You are a jedi knight constantly at odds with the Empire or a …
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 …
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 …
I, like a fool, have been trying the ‘/claim’ command in game to try to get my pre-order items. I ordered the Collector’s Edition from BestBuy and have yet to receive the actual box of the game. I finally realized today that I won’t be able to use my in-game pre-order items with the claim …
Just in case some of you had the same issues as me, here’s the problem and what I did to fix it. Whenever I would click Play on the client menu, the screen would either stutter or just go black. Graphics in the game if I got past the black was just a mountain terrain …
While waiting for my early access download to complete for AoC, I was playing around with Star Wars Empires at War single player. I was having a blast attacking planets one at a time, first conquering the area of space surrounding the planet with my fleet of Star Destroyers, then launching a ground campaign with …
This is the official retail trailer video for Age of Conan released last month. This shows a lot of the features coming including the amazing world itself and a good look at mounts.
If you pre-order Age of Conan you will get one of three bonus items depending on where you order from. From what I’ve been able to tell so far, pre-ordering from Amazon.com awards the Amazon Curved Bow as your pre-order bonus item. Gamestop awards the War Mammoth and I assume the War Rhino comes from …
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. …
