Lost in Outland | Saturday, August 11th, 2007
Posted in World of Warcraft, PC, MMORPG

I’m currently somewhere in Outland. Sandwiched between some Burning Legion ramparts and Hellfire Citadel, i needed a couple of minutes to get used to the controls, my keyboard abilty layout and my new UI courtesy of the latest WoW UI mods available. After a few practice kills (and a couple of quests done), i have […]

Pay to Play or Free to Play | Sunday, August 5th, 2007
Posted in Rants, Local Games, PC, MMORPG

Local game publishers need to earn somehow from locally published games. The amount of money that goes into development, management, support and marketing these games is really no joke. We currently have two game models: One is Free to Play, where you actually can play the game for free but premium items are bought in […]

Why im sticking to World of Warcraft | Saturday, August 4th, 2007
Posted in Rants, serious games, PC, MMORPG

After all the hoopla surrounding World of Warcraft’s new expansion, i got to talk to one of my friends who plays WoW and Asian made MMO’s. You know what i heard? “I’d rather play World of Warcraft than another Asian MMO”. or something to that effect. And that made me say “I’m actually reactivating my […]

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion announced | Saturday, August 4th, 2007
Posted in timekillers, PC, MMORPG

When is it coming out? When is its release date? Who cares! The only thing i know is that its gonna be sucking in cash for Vivendi. It may be an even bigger hit than Burning Crusade. Why? The former Prince Arthas aka the Lich King is now available to fight not to mention the […]

Too many MMOGs, Too little time | Friday, July 20th, 2007
Posted in MMORPG

There are 3 MMOGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Games) set to be released this quarter: namely Perfect World from Level Up!, Granado Espada by IPVG and Lineage 2 by AMDG. I have spent quite some time with all games and here are my impressions:
I would’ve played Lineage 2 PH if only someone bothered to give me […]

Whether or not you play Guild Wars, and as long as you live in the US, Canada, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, all you have to do is give up some personal info to ArenaNet (the MMORPG’s makers), and you’ll have a chance to […]

Lego MMOG announced in 2008, 25 year old dorks squeal in glee | Tuesday, March 6th, 2007
Posted in MMORPG

Lego may not be the force it used to be back in the day, but I certainly remember growing up with a bucket of lego tiles always on hand to build the ultimate star destroyer (ie hacked together spaceship). With the success of the Lego Star Wars video games, it was only a matter […]

Great Games Experiment = mySpace for Gamers and Game Makers | Thursday, February 8th, 2007
Posted in DS, Indie, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, PC, MMORPG

I got a hint that this was brewing and under development when I browsed through Jeff Tunnell’s blog a few months back. Jeff Tunnell is the public face behind GarageGames, makers of indie game engines and advocates of the Microsoft XNA game development platform for the PC and Xbox360.
Before I get too far off, well, […]

Game! reduced? | Monday, February 5th, 2007
Posted in PC, MMORPG

I don’t know about you, but I think the 6th issue of the local online gaming magazine, Game! has been significantly “downsized”. The usual 72-page issue is now a measly 48-pager. Gone are the glossy pages. Most significant of all, it appears that “The Best Online Gaming Magazine” is now living true to its name […]

Tired of your regular MMORPG? Then get on over to the Perfect World! | Saturday, January 27th, 2007
Posted in MMORPG

Perfect World is Level Up’s newest foray into the world of Massively Multiplayer Socializing and beating each other up, and looks to be…more of the same. To be honest, “a full-feature 3D online game that is based on rich Chinese mythology and set in the world of Pangu” doesn’t really stoke the imagination like […]
