Skirmish Dailies

Posted by Xavier Morgan On December - 30 - 2009

It’s astonishing the amount of game play packed into LOTRO.  With Siege of Mirkwood, it inflates the amount of activities in which you can engage beyond anything I thought they would pull off in this release.  One of my favorites is the skirmish system.  I touched on this briefly in my first impressions article the [...]

Best MMOG Features of 2009

Posted by Brad West On December - 29 - 2009

The end of the year is a time when we look back on the months passed and reminisce all those yesterdays and hours spent in our favorite video games. 2009 was a great year in terms of patches and polish to those titles released in 2008, but very few mainstream titles were actually released [...]

WoWWatch: Gearscore’s got ya

Posted by Raim On December - 29 - 2009

I have been downtrodden, slurred, maligned, and separated – all for superficial reasons. I was told that I had no value, and could not contribute. I was informed that I was a burden on the greater group, that I didn’t fit in, that I was not worthy. I was discriminated against without being heard, without a second thought, solely because of the color of my gearscore.

Star Trek Online Closed Beta First Impressions

Posted by Xavier Morgan On December - 23 - 2009

I purchased Champions Online with great hope that a new way of doing business and game design would liberate me from some of the same old boredom I experience from time to time in my MMORPG game play.  Champions Online took my attention for about 30 days, and it lost it.  On the surface one [...]

WoWWatch: Firestarter

Posted by Raim On December - 23 - 2009

World of Warcraft and Aion. They share the same relationship the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees do – they are indisputably the two biggest players in a competitive market. And just like the Yankees and Sox there is an intensely heated rivalry between their fans. Drop a post anywhere on the internet with “WoW is better than Aion” or “Aion beats WoW” in the title and watch it light up in flames like a dry Christmas tree. Since Aion debuted in North America in September there have been many salvos fired back and forth between the two giants. Normally I try to don some flame retardant clothing and keep to myself, but the most recent flame-fest has me intrigued, so here I am, entering the fray…

Gaming Is Serious Business – The Min-Max Road Less Traveled

Posted by Frank Sanchez On December - 20 - 2009

I’ve always been an RPG fanatic when it comes to video games. The reason for this is partially the satisfaction of watching characters develop from newbies with swords into forces that can change worlds and defeat powerful enemies. From the first RPG I ever played, Final Fantasy, to my most recent defeat with Bioware’s Dragon [...]
