If you’ve been living under a rock, or simply choose to ignore MMO news, it’s highly likely you won’t have heard anything about ArenaNet’s sequel to the highly successful Guild Wars. Having touched upon Guild Wars 2 several months ago when news first began to trickle out, the developers have now finally begun to reveal a great deal about what Guild Wars 2 has to offer…
Well it’s launch day for Halo: Reach, and the geeks were out in force (more like dozens) in the wee small hours, jostling in late night lines, eagerly anticipating getting their clammy hands on the latest must-have sequel. If your like me and felt nothing but embarrassment as you watched BBC News this morning, then I thought for those of you who missed it, might like to watch the video of it. Keep an eye out for …
“We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz!” one merry man sings as he gallops around me dizzyingly. I’m in the Land of the Dead (an appropriate title for a desert filled with skeletons and token scorpions) and I’ve joined a party lead by a rough looking Warrior Priest. ‘Sigmar’ is scrawled across his forehead. I’m unsure whether its carved into his skin, or written on in blood, but either way he’s …
“Has anyone got any Golden Scarabs spare?” I ask mid battle, as we bound across Dragonwake from Eataine. Our band of merry men plough through the lush green fields as one hulking mass of armour and death. In ancient times Dragons would heed the call of Princes to defend the lakes, but I get the impression it is their day off today and it’s down to us, instead…
It’s been eleven months since I last set foot into Warhammer Online. As one of the first to play the game throughout its closed BETA period and launch, I had certainly burnt myself out by late October last year. Playing one class exclusively, and encountering many of the game’s trials and tribulations, a break was certainly much needed…
Because I am ridiculously in love with all things Valve, and specifically Team Fortress 2, I thought I would share the latest piece of community news with you all, knowing that you will fully appreciate it as much as I do. Several months ago, Valve opened their doors to the Team Fortress 2 community, allowing any individual to create and submit new weapon models, hat designs and ‘misc’ items. Those lucky enough, having submitted designs that passed …
It’s a strange feeling knowing you may be made redundant within the next few months. Technically it’s termed “Redeployment”, where those unfit for purpose through a competency based exercise are placed into a “pool” to fight for the odd job or two that crops up. I wouldn’t really refer to it as a pool either, when there are thirty people already swimming in it, with a few dozen more soon to armband up and wade …
If you aren’t aware, and as I haven’t seen much coverage on XCOM since Steerpikes last post on its development, alongside the revelation that 2K Marin were the developers leading the charge, I thought it would be nice to give those of you who don’t buy PC Gamer (before press coverage at E3 goes wild) the opportunity to feast your eyes on a couple of screen shots (7 in total) I managed to get my hands on. …
Well it’s that time again folks, where we take a look at the latest software chart. Those amongst you who have managed to keep up with my past chart posts will remember my love of Just Dance, and you will be pleased to know that the tragic game (which does not know when to die) has bounced back from its blip last week (phew!) and has managed to claw its way back into the top …
Remember multiplayer games before the internet arrived? I couldn’t until recently. My brother was busying himself at the weekend, showing me a wonderful little tower defence game on the PlayStation 3 that goes by the name of Comet Crash…
For my third MMOG news piece, Blizzard and the World of Warcraft Armory has finally begun testing the long awaited Remote Auction House for the iPhone, iPod touch and web browser. The free App (and desktop download, available now) allows players to log into the WoW Armory and browse any in-game Auction House that characters on a players WoW account have access to. Once beta testing is complete and the Remote Auction House is truly live, players who …
As the second of my three news items relating to MMOGs (look away now if you’re no fan!) and one which will see Blizzard grinning ear to ear, Chris Hager the producer of Aion: The Tower of Eternity, has announced that server merges are planned for North America and Europe over the coming weeks. As the biggest MMOG to launch in recent years, and what was hotly tipped to ‘de-throne World of Warcraft’ (aren’t they …
If you aren’t already aware, news is finally trickling out of ArenaNet about Guild Wars 2. As a sequel to their fabulous episodic Guild Wars series (originally announced alongside the final Guild Wars expansion Eye of the North in 2007), and having been waiting for what seems a life time, my excitement level has now reached dizzying heights. Still taking place in the fantasy world of Tyria, 250 years after the players defeated the Great …
Those of you with a certain degree of self respect, who have resisted the mighty pull of Just Dance, will be rejoicing today as the May 1st sales chart for entertainment software shows Just Dance has finally been toppled. The title synonymous with lonely housewives, scarily happy families and disillusioned grandparents has spent a staggering 3,243,000 weeks at the number one spot. Sadly it has been replaced by Fifa World Cup South Africa; a case …
I watched Avatar on Blu-Ray over the weekend. A great deal has been said about the largest grossing film of all time. The quality of its visual effects, however, have never been in doubt. Its high definition clarity absolutely mesmerizing on Blu-Ray, so much so you forget that you ever saw it in 3D, and wondered why you had in the first place. What surprises me most though, is that critics and individuals continue to …
