Rise Of The Free-To-Play Era: Good or Bad?


FEATURE

After seeing big titles like Dungeons & Dragons Online (DDO), Star Trek Online (STO), and Lord of The Rings Online (LOTRO) drop their fees, I couldn't help but feel the sudden change of pace regarding MMO subscriptions. Is it just me, or are MMOs going free-to-play? Though premium games like World of Warcraft and WarHammer have tons of subscribers, it still doesn't change the fact that 14 bucks a month after buying the client and expansions isn't that cheap of a deal. While some people see free-to-play gaming as a way for dying MMOs to "survive", others see it an ingenious method for good MMOs to increase their popularity. Let's face it! Nothing beats seeing the big "FREE TO PLAY" sign next to a game's title.

Review: Windslayer Relies on PVP


REVIEW

Wind Slayer is a side scrolling 2d MMORPG that shares many of the same features as LaTale and Maple Story. Although the game is good and has much to offer, it was often dismissed as a carbon copy of other 2D side-scrollers. That, by the way, is not a valid claim as it is the same as hating a certain game for belonging in a certain Genre. It really can't be a side-scroller if it doesn't walk on a side scrolling screen right? Anyway, the game is pretty amazing and is far from being the random clone I've heard about.

Vindictus Review: Painfully Awesome


REVIEW

Vindictus, Nexon's newest action title, is here and in full swing, and unlike Nexon's current lineup, this one plans to be the most painful MMO you'll ever play.  This isn't your little cousin's MMO with cute monsters and such. Vindictus contains destructive beasts; deadly environments and balls-to-the-wall action that will make you squirm with joy.
