EverQuests Age of Rediscovery: First Impressions (Again)


REVIEW

Fippy Darkpaw and Vulak'Aerr are a week old now. And while I admit I've not spent as much time playing as I would like there have been good reasons for it! All of my allotted Everquest time has been going towards reading guides and finding out information. But I'll go into that a bit more later. What have I done so far on Fippy? Well, I rolled myself up a Wood Elf which as it so happens was the first race I ever played back in the day and was easily my favorite. I've run around the newbie area and enjoyed the city in the trees. I've fallen out of the city several times. But then who doesn't? So after having played around a bit what are my first (re)impressions.

Welcome to a Fantastic Age!: One Man in a Land of Children


REVIEW

Fantage is for kids. And I'm not saying that because I think it's childish, or silly. The game was designed for children. It is closely monitored by the developers to try and provide a safe environment for children between six and fourteen and I think that anything that builds the next generation of gamers is a great thing.

Travian First Impressions – You’ve got some Gaul!


REVIEW

The world of Travian is rocked with conflict. Three tribes; The Romans, The Teutons and the Gauls struggle for land and resources as they attempt to conquer their world. As I write this there are 16, 700 players battling it out on my server. They form the 300 or so alliances currently active. Me? I am all on my own.

RIFT: The Melting Pot MMO


REVIEW

Game options, in game windows such as tech trees, abilities, and in a sense the entire interface and the way you can configure it are all carbon copies from games like WoW, WAR and a ton of other games making it a melting pot of features. Want to drag a spell or ability to another spot on your quickbar? Hold shift and drag it. Want to find where the mailbox or your class trainer is hiding on the minimap? Use the very familiar tracker to display them. You get the point right?

League of Legends: Make Like A Tree…


REVIEW

Greetings fellow summoners! This is the patch v1.0.0.111 article for League of Legends, the game in which cases of electric shocks are on the Ryze (Okay, that was bad). This patch includes a rework to Ryze, the inclusion of the much anticipated co-op mode, reworks to how EXP and IP are gained from matches and Maokai, The Twisted Treant.

Pocket Legends Review – The New Way To Sit Through Meetings


REVIEW

Providing you haven't been living under a rock for the past three years, you may have heard something about one company and their range of mobile devices. Whatever you may think about Apple's minimalist approach to product design and somewhat random pricing decisions, there's no denying that the iPhone, iPod Touch and now iPad have revolutionised mobile computing. The App Store has become a cash cow for thirsty developers to milk to their heart's content. And with millions of people all around the world holding an iOS product in their pocket, it was only a matter of time before someone had a shot at replicating the resounding success of desktop MMORPGs on your Apple phone.

Aika Online Review: Gun-Kata Women? I’m In!


REVIEW

Aika Online is an action-packed MMORPG famous for its nonstop PVP experience. The game has been blessed with enthusiastic reviews, all praising its supposed quality of gameplay. After seeing tons of awards bestowed upon it during the 2009 Korean Game Awards, I couldn't help but be drawn to its fame and glory. It is one of the most famous MMORPGS in Korea today, so I'm expecting no less from the famous Aika Online. Again, the game is praised for its PVP features such as its astonishing 1000 vs 1000 RVR (that's a lot of players!). This means that you will always have people to kill regardless of how bad your virtual bloodlust is. The game is also epically stylish combat-wise, meaning it's not your average everyday MMO that features a single slash or attack animation per character. Will 2009's Best Game of The Show live up to our expectations? *logs in*

City of Heroes MetaÂ’s Verse: CoH Isn’t WoW


REVIEW

I'm breaking away from the news this week and doing a bit of an opinion piece. All week I had been planning on doing yet another news piece. Because yes, there is more news. More things are going on. But something happened to me this week while I was playing with some friends and I need to talk about it because its something I keep hearing and I've had enough. One of my oldest friends in City of Heroes is against change. He says that all the new things coming out, the direction the devs are taking us is towards a World of Warcraft route. That by the end of these changes we may as well be a WoW clone but with heroes instead of fantasy creatures. Now if this was the first time I'd heard this I would ignore it. But I've heard several people over several global channels saying this. And I've had enough. I won't go into why I don't think its like WoW, because honestly I don't know. It was a game that I could never get into and know next to nothing about. I will instead go into the basic ideas people are trying to get across.
