After only 5 hours to play Champions Online, it’s a bit early to be declaring this the greatest MMORPG ever, but I’ve played a lot of MMORPG Beta Tests. They’ve all been buggy, and they’ve all had their technical issues. They’ve had varying amounts of polish and potential. How does Champions Online compare?
Let me tell you a little bit about PAX. There’s a lot to do there, and most of the activities are centered on three important areas. The first consists of the Console Freeplay, Tabletop, and Bring Your Own Computer areas. PAX started as a huge LAN party, so it makes sense that this would still [...]
Zombies are awesome. I love zombie movies. World War Z is one of my favorite books. Dead Rising is one of my favorite games.
I was ecstatic to finally be able to sit down and play Left 4 Dead. Even though I was already extremely hyped about this title, what I played completely blew me away. [...]
If you liked Oblivion, you will like Fallout 3. If you liked Fallout 1 and 2, you will like Fallout 3.
Because, they have done an AMAZING job of melding RPG elements from the originals into Fallout 3. The old stats like Action Points and Perks are, of course, adapted for the new 3D platform, but [...]
There is SOOO much to do here on the PAX exhibition floor. During the exclusive 2 hours for press attendees, I found myself easily distracted by titles I had completely forgotten about in light of Gears 2, Fallout 3, and others. Starcraft 2 was one of those titles.
“Playable Starcraft II? I better check this out!”
And… [...]
After playing Gears of War 2, I was impressed with some of the grpahical improvements, but a lot of the gameplay felt very simialr to me. The new poison grenades and some of the other new weapons are interesting, and I can’t wait for Gears 2 to be released because I expect it to be [...]
I have a confession, guys.
I am slowly becoming an EA convert. It’s been happening slowly, but Dead Space looks fantastic here at PAX, Madden 09 has actually been pretty decent for a football title, and after spending some time talking to EA Mythic about Warhammer Online, I’m almost ready to declare EA to be capable [...]
So, PAX hasn’t even started yet, and the powers that be have already started unleashing the awesome. I got a chance to see Rock Band 2 in action at a Pre-PAX party put on by Gamerchix Ooopy and Kiki of The Blue Skittle.
It was fully playable for anyone that wanted to give it a whirl, [...]
WARNING! Rant incoming!
The Kranz, one of our long-time podcast listeners called me out on my wish for the Madden series to just die. In our forums, he wrote:
Millions of people love Madden, yet you want to kill it and without solid reasoning George. Don’t cop out and say “competition” because you didn’t come to that [...]
“Make it… STINKY!”
That is the mantra of “A Boy Who Learns What Fear Is,” the first episode of American McGee’s episodic adventure/platformer. Not necessarily in a bad way… American McGee’s breakout title Alice received great reviews in its time, due mostly to some fantastic graphics. Grimm has taken a very different tack, in more ways [...]
