Fallout Online is in the works

We received great news for fans of Interplay’s Fallout series and haters of Bethesda’s version – generally players who are craving for a good sci-fi catastrophic MMO. No offense to great games like Anarchy Online, but it is a bit too old or EVE Online, where you have to use mouse to control spaceships [for crying out loud, give us reason to own a joystick, Ed.]. The creation of massive multiplayer online game set in the Fallout universe was whispered about when the original crew from Interplay retained their rights to creation of Fallout MMO while Bethesda got those for singleplayer games. Still very few

Age of Conan finally gets a free trial, about time

Players of Funcom’s notoriously weak MMO Age of Conan have finally gained a free trial option. Funcom, Fileplanet and Ausgamers have teamed up to give them this option. "This is the chance to experience the brutal, savage and sexy world of Conan where you can live, fight and explore in the world of Hyboria together with thousands of people from across the globe." As we can see from their free trial promotion Funcom still claims that Age of Conan is a brutal, savage and sexy world despite the fact it is neither savage nor sexy or an good representation of Hyboria in any shape or

The legacy of WoW: Simplification of the MMO genre

While some, myself included, would probably argue that World of Warcraft actually is the best massively multiplayer online game out there – it is definitely the most popular one. It has a huge following of hardcore fans ready to happily rip out the tongues of unbelievers, bash on any new online game and bathe Blizzard in ungodly amounts of money. Parents let their kids starve, guys get dumped by their girlfriends, students leave colleges, the fat get fatter, the thin even thinner and that weird guy you used to know is even crazier than before. You hear about it in school, on work, in traffic

Fallout 3 DLC: The Pitt – Another pack, another fail

Second in Bethesda’s line of downloadable content packs for Fallout 3 has arrived. After that Crysis inspired, commie Chinese snuffing trash Operation Anchorage – one would hope this pack is better. At least it takes place in Fallout setting and not some military simulation. Regardless of that, this DLC pack is actually worse than the one before due to some oopsies. It costs 10$ or 800 Games for Windows Live points. Games for Windows Live a.k.a. We’re Microsoft, buy Xbox 360 Forcing anyone to use something so hostile to players as Games for Windows Live system to download is quite irritating. When you finally manage

Review: Wallace and Gromit sting the honey business

Folks from Telltale Games just released the first episode of their new game series based on Nick Park’s popular Wallace and Gromit characters. Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Adventures is a series of four downloadable episodic games that will be delivered monthly after buying the package for $29.95 at launch week and $34.95 later on. This is a price if you buy the game regardless of living in US, Europe, Timbuktu or wherever… unlike certain digital distributors that bleed their own customers. When you don’t like your mail, send the dog to read it… Games follow the adventures of absent-minded inventor Wallace and his clearly smarter

MMO Industry or "The plague of NERFS"

In the massive multiplayer online gaming community there is nothing as hated but at the same time asked for as "nerfs". They have plagued MMOs [Massive Multiplayer Online] since they first appeared and continue to do so even to this day. It is said that online games have the tendency to bring out the worst qualities in people and nerfs are the perfect example of this. The story is always the same – one player class, ability or game feature becomes perceived as overpowered or game breaking from someone’s point of view and needs to be severely weakened. Pretty soon the rage caused by this
