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 [...]

Fallout MMO: “Brotherhood of Suck”?

Please don’t make a Fallout MMORPG. There, I said it.
Feel free to send your flames to me after the jump (but hear me out first!).
The MMO GraveYard
November 25th, 2008 · 5 Comments
I’ve taken some big risks in my day. I once went off-roading in a Geo Metro. One time, I knowingly told an ex-girlfriend that her sister was hot. I was even crazy enough to go see Twilight, knowing the danger it posed. I’ve taken all those risks and more, but there is one thing I [...]
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…

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.
This week: The Lich King goes Alpha, Square/Enix is bringing the [...]

What happens when a single, working mother of three, can no longer find the time to attend her guild’s five-hour raid on the Karazhan dungeon? Simple – she finds something even less compelling to play.

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 [...]

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 [...]
