On this week’s episode we continue the introduction of new hosts! We also talk about pet systems within MMOs and which we feel are done correctly. Couple that with discussions surrounding Dragon’s Prophet Beta details, Scarlet Blade’s closed beta impressions, new Planetside 2 content along with F2P success stories and you’ve got a lot to [...]
Call this “the week of MOBAs”, Bigpoint has decided to add its next title called Merc Elite to the growing pile of new MOBA oriented games set to come out soon. So what exactly does Merc Elite bring to the battle arena? To start, the game is set in the near future and has players [...]
Blizzard has announced their latest game! Is it Warcraft 4? No? Well how about Starcraft Ghost? Oh, not that either? Well perhaps it’s their long awaited Blizzard All-Stars, the supposedly Free-to-Play MOBA based on Blizzard lore characters. Close? It’s F2P you say? But it’s a card game….I see. Hearthstone Heroes of Warcraft is a digital [...]
With a proverbial kick, Warframe has opened the vent grate and pushed itself through the tight spaceship crawlspace that is closed beta and into the vast landscape of open beta. To celebrate Digital Extremes has released a new open beta trailer which is a mix of one part Kill Bill, one part Matrix, and two [...]
Aeria Games has announced their intentions to publish Soldier Front 2 the sequel to the original Soldier Front which Aeria already publishes. The first Soldier Front came around the same time as both Combat Arms and Alliance of Valiant Arms, which may explain why it was somewhat overlooked by some modern FPS fans. Now Soldier [...]
The original Dungeon Defenders was a co-op focused action tower defense game that was incredibly successful for its small team of developers, selling over a million copies since its December 20, 2011 release. Now Trendy Entertainment is back with a sequel and while it will include an updated cooperative defense mode like the original, the [...]
Originally I was quite confused with the announcement of Moonlight Online: Global. Here it was a vampire/werewolf influenced MMORPG, yet I had never heard of it. What’s more, after doing a little digging I find this MMORPG was actually originally launched in 2012 after taking quite a long time to develop. So why the reboot? [...]
On this weeks show we take note that hey, these aren’t the regular hosts! New hosts bring new stories including gaming nostalgia and news of a AAA turn-based tabletop strategy. We also talk about the direction console F2P games are headed, and dish out various EA smack talk for all their recent failings. As usual, [...]
After a short closed beta that felt much more like a closed alpha, Tactical Intervention has launched into open beta. The shooter which was developed by one of the original Counter Strike developers, hosted a limited closed beta earlier this month and will now host a public open beta for everyone in North America till [...]
If you build it, they will come. That was the hopeful mentality of Grinding Gear Games as they set out to make the Diablo 2 successor everyone wanted. Path of Exile was ambitious, an incredibly deep action-RPG with loads of customization and a balanced non pay-to-win approach. To say Grinding Gear Games succeeded would be [...]
EDIT: It appears Sony just announced the NA version of Dragon’s Prophet would begin it’s closed beta at the same time as the EU. Those of us in the NA region more often than not have the luxury of getting every beta before our EU counterparts. However with Dragon’s Prophet, it seems as if the [...]
Planetside 2 continues to see new updates and features added on a monthly basis. Earlier in the year we saw strategic underground tunnels added along with a redesign of some of the larger bases in order to provide better cover for both the attackers and defenders. The upcoming March update is set to launch soon [...]
Converting a Pay-to-Play MMORPG to Free-to-Play is akin to resuscitating a dying individual with high voltage shock paddles. An MMO can go from DOA to alive and thriving within the time span of just a few months. A F2P medicine miracle if you will. Today, we have yet another survival/success story with TERA: Rising reporting [...]
Scarlet Blade, the over-the-top mature themed MMORPG from Aeria Games has officially gone into closed beta today. Like in the past, Aeria Games continues to use the term “Closed Beta” while disregarding what the word closed actually implies. The beta is available now for everyone to download and play without the need for a key. [...]
