Global Agenda First Impression

February 2 saw the release of two MMORPG.  Both have subscription fees, both offer PvP and PvE content, they include guns and are set in science fiction universes.  The similarities pretty much stop there.  Cryptic Studios’ Star Trek Online is geared to satiate the hungered trekkies out there, while Hi-Rez Studios hopes to appease the [...]

Allods Online First Impressions

If you never played Allods Online and were to see an in-game video or screenshot, you would most likely call the game, yet another WoW-clone. And you would be right, partially. Truth be told, Allods does “borrow” several gaming mechanics and concepts from Blizzard’s hit MMORPG, but the game is more of a mix-and-match than a [...]

Earth Eternal Review

I think it would be best to start this post of with a few small, but vital details – Earth Eternal is a browser based game and yes, Earth Eternal is a real MMORPG. Not just a text adventure, with some graphics here and there. And last but not least – Earth Eternal is a [...]

Karos Online Review

Karos Online is a free-to-play MMORPG, set in a fantasy world of Asmara. The game was developed by the Korean studio Galaxy Gate and is ported by NHN, the people behind the popular game portal ijji. While Karos may not be very innovative, the game offers a very clean and addicting gameplay that most players [...]

Fallen Earth Review

Since the release of Fallen Earth back in late Sept 09, I’ve been able to spend some time in this post-apocalyptic world and today I give you my Fallen Earth review.
Fallen Earth takes place in the wastelands of the Grand Canyon in North America and as with any post-apocalyptic game, food, fuel and resources are [...]

Bright Shadow Review

Bright Shadow is an anime styled MMORPG that was developed by the Taiwanese studio Seedo and is a mix of popular concepts. Most players will find it resembling R.O.S.E. Online, but don’t let the descriptions on most websites fool you – Bright Shadow has nothing horror in it and is just plain Asian fantasy that [...]

The Best Thing About Darkfall (Isn’t What You Think)

I am about 2 weeks into Darkfall and even though my skills are crap, my gear is crap and I have barely explored further than the newbie areas, I have to say it is a lot of fun. I am actually quite surprised as to how fun a game it is. Remember, at launch this [...]

Champions Online Review

My Champions Online review is below starting with character creation.
Character Creation: Simply put, character creation in Champions Online is one of the most verbose systems I have ever dealt with.  The closest thing to compare it to is City of Heroes, which makes perfect sense since Cryptic Studios developed that superhero title as well.  In [...]

Cities XL Review

I’m a pretty big fan of sim games, especially the Sim City series, so I was pretty excited to get my hands on Cities XL.  Cities XL is a next generation city builder game that combines elements of MMO games by allowing you to interact with thousands of others city builders.  Monte Cristo, the developers [...]

Aion’s Issues

Aion’s Issues
This will probably be my last write up regarding Aion.  If you have been following my previous articles, I have detailed my play experience with the game by focusing on the 1-10 experience, 10-25 early Abyss, and the 25 and beyond.  This will be my last word on Aion for the time being because [...]
