StarCraft II: What To Expect NextWed, Aug 4th, 2010, 9:25 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA
StarCraft 2 has been a massive hit, and everyone knows it. The game came close to two million copies in its first two days of release, and there's no telling when it'll stop. That being said, there were a lot of things about it that weren't exactly new. The teams were the same, units as a whole remained intact (or were a little rebalanced). For as great as StarCraft 2 is, there's really not much 'new' content as a whole in there; it's really just an updated version of Brood War. This isn't a bad thing though, as it just means that Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void will have a lot more features than we may expect. |

Blizzard's Community Manager The First Victim Of Real IDThu, Jul 8th, 2010, 8:53 pm (EST) BY COLIN
Blizzard recently announced that their very own Battle.net forums was to implement a new policy where users' first and last names were to be used. They called it Real ID and it was just a matter of time before it sparked controversy among the fan base. In an ironic turn of events, the first casualty of Blizzard's Real ID is none other then their very own community manager, Bashiok. |

E3 2010: Tera Hands-On PreviewFri, Jul 2nd, 2010, 1:22 pm (EST) BY COLINWhen people think of MMOs, they usually think of the most popular one, World of Warcraft. However, while some developers might attempt to copy it thinking that in doing so, they'll copy its success, the real secret is to separate themselves from the likes of it. This is exactly what En Masse and Bluehole Studio have done with their latest MMORPG, Tera Online: The Exiled Realm of Arborea. It claims to be the first true action MMO and it certainly looks that way. The kind folks at En Masse let us experience the demo at E3 and, to put it simply, it was one heck of a rush. More » |

E3 2010: Final Fantasy XIV PreviewThu, Jul 1st, 2010, 11:23 am (EST) BY DARRYL
Coming from a background of liking Final Fantasy and caring very little about MMOs, Final Fantasy XI served as a great window into a new world. While most Final Fantasy fans knew the game wasn't going to be of the typical ilk, there was still the urge to check it out and give it a chance. Those that did give it a chance typically fell in love with it, despite its very unforgiving nature. However, despite Square Enix's best attempts to keep players interested with numerous expansion packs, the game's attraction started to wane. |

E3 2010 Preview: ActivisionFri, Jun 11th, 2010, 12:35 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA
Activision is a company that's been having a bit of a rough spot this past year, at least in the publicity department. A slew of Guitar Hero games, the Infinity Ward drama, and the occasional closing of a development studio never gives a good impression, but it appears this year the publisher has a pretty impressive lineup of things to show the world. E3 is a chance to turn things around, at least somewhat, and it looks like as though Activision have secured some pretty fantastic games. Fact, speculation, and alternate realities come together for this E3 Preview: Activision Edition. |
