OK: let’s talk about PC gaming for a minute. I’m a college student with a new laptop, not a ton of money, and precious little free time for gaming. [...]

MMO Spotlight: Dungeons & Dragons Online – Stormreach

May 23rd, 2009 · 13 Comments

I’m not sure if anyone knew that there are still MMORPG games around that don’t involve initials that imply an expression of amazement. Yes, there is more than one game in town, they just don’t get as much love.
Last week I admitted that I’d been dabbling in a few MMO’s, and at the urging of [...]

KOTOR 3 is…an MMO?

July 21st, 2008 · 10 Comments

When EA purchased Bioware a lot people, myself included, expressed grave concerns over the quality of future installments for Bioware developed titles. I think I still have a few voodoo dolls laying around just in case our worst fears become reality. Chief among the titles fans have been waiting for is the third installment to [...]

Downsized Dirty Pillows? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

June 3rd, 2008 · 5 Comments

What’s the big deal with breasts in video games? It’s a computer rendering of one, two, or sometimes four fun bags… They’re not the real thing, or even close to the real thing in most cases, but it still freaks everyone out. OMG mammaries! What about when a game, or in this case an MMO [...]

SciFi to take TV show games to the next level

June 3rd, 2008 · 3 Comments

So you love, love, love Battlestar Galactica. What do you do when the show ends, the credits roll and that’s it for the week? After you’ve consumed all the content, that’s it, you’re left waiting for the next episode. Well, SciFi is looking to change that sometime in 2010. Since I’m a fan of many [...]

Two weeks have gone by and the news on the MMO front is still lacking. Oh well, I’m here to give you my impressions on what I did manage to dig up, so let’s jump right into it. Be careful, though, it’s a shallow pool.

April Fools day always seems to take the breath out of the news of the week it lands on, and this year is no different. However, if you scrape the bottom of the barrel hard enough, you’re bound to find something.
That’s what I’m here for! This week: The first developer to make a graphical [...]

WarHammer Online – A long time coming

March 31st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Creating an MMO in today’s gaming market takes some big cojones. Were talking elephantiasis sized stones. The investment required, in terms of both time and money, is enormous. Anything less than total devotion to your product results in yet another MMO title getting its head handed to it by WoW.
For a time it seemed WoW [...]

MMO411

March 27th, 2008 · 4 Comments

It’s that time again. Time to go where no other Sarcastic Gamer dares to go. This week has been a disappointing one for those looking forward to Warcraft’s biggest rival, and it also makes my MMO choices for this fall a lot more difficult. Then again, those of us who are in love with Bioshock [...]
