LAGWAR | PC GAMING'S BEST IN TOP NOTCH MEDIOCRITY

I get bored with the same old.  I canceled my Warhammer account about a year ago.  I reactivated last week.  Tier 4 was hopping fun.  To be truthful, it was a series of books that I read over the last six weeks that whetted my Warhammer appetite.  Vampire Wars, The Vampire Genevieve, and Gotrek and [...]

How hard is too hard? This is not a question normally associated with WoW. In fact many players (especially those playing other MMO’s) have critiqued WoW as being too easy. But the fact remains – Arthas, the final raid boss of Icecrown Citadel, the pinnacle of WOTLK raiding, has been active for over a month and only two guilds have killed him on heroic difficulty –and both kills were in 10 man format. If most the best guilds in the game can’t kill Arthas after a month is he too hard?

Ok, so last time I covered the basics of the weaponry in Borderlands. You have the core types, the main stats, secondary stats, manufacturers, etc. Then I went into what I thought of each weapon after extended use of all of them. So far in that regard I’ve gone through sniper rifles, repeater pistols, rocket [...]

WoW is a good example of an MMOG – but we often forget exactly what that stands for – massive multiplayer online game. Take away the multiplayer and all you have is a massive empty world, and an even harder time getting people together for group quests. In the end WoW is only as much fun as the people you play it with: your friends and your guildmates, which is why I am so excited about the changes coming to guild structure and management in Cataclysm.

Nothing says “conflict” in a game like character respec debates in Fallen Earth.  Players are all over the place on this subject.  I’ve seen everything from “NO RESPEC” to “Give me full respecs now!”  Players can’t seem to find the right compromise to alleviate the battle of words on the forums and I’ve got to [...]

In my last story, I criticized Cryptic for lack of tweets.  Turns out, I just couldn’t find them.  They were there!  They just ported it straight over from Champions!  Sorry Cryptic.  I will try to be a keen observer of neatly hidden features in future.  To access this, among other things such as your [...]

It’s no secret that you can’t play a first-person shooter without something that, well, shoots. Sure, you can run up to an enemy and punch them in the face or swing at them with some sort of melee weapon, but that’s not always effective. In the case of Borderlands, it’s suicide unless you’re playing Brick [...]

Star Trek Online has been hard at work trying to put as much detail as they can into the game to make players feel fully immersed into this famous science fiction genre.  Additions such as vintage Star Trek uniforms are sure to make Trekkers around the world get excited.
Uniform options do not include the pants, [...]

Remember how great the original Indiana Jones movies were? I am not talking about that monstrosity with Shia Labeouf, I am talking vintage Indy here, Raiders of the Lost Ark or Last Crusade style. Those movies made Archaeology sexy. I even rated archaeologist equivalent with astronaut or fireman as a profession choice after watching those movies. Unfortunately for ancient relics (and damsels in distress), I never quite made the cut as an archaeologist. In Cataclysm, however, our characters will have the chance to be archaeologists, so grab your hat and whip and let’s talk about the new profession Archaeology and the new mechanic, the Path of the Titans.

There is news of a suspicious (and random) quest NPC roaming the halls of Deep Space 9.  What makes this NPC special is the rare, special episode (STO speak for quest) that becomes available to you if you meet certain requirements.  The rumor is that this suspicious character is a member of the secret Federation [...]
