World Of Warcraft – How It Has Almost Killed MMO Gaming

World Of Warcraft, the MMO Juggernaut which was created by Blizzard all those years ago is one of the most successful video games in history and is, without doubt, the most successful MMO – or Massively Multiplayer Online – game in existence.

Challengers for the title have come and gone over the years but none of them have managed to come close to taking the belt. This is because World of Warcraft has gone a long way toward destroying MMORPG’s.

Let’s Continue Playing Minecraft: Trial of the Amiaba Ruins – Part 2!

Welcome back to the Trial of the Amiaba Ruins! I still don’t know how to pronounce “Amiaba” but who cares because we are still running through everything. We pick up this episode trying to figure out if it’s a chicken or a duck in Minecraft. I said it was a chicken and of course I was right, I mean when am I ever wrong? We get stumped in a wool room with a giant Steve stabbing the ground. Nick decided to light everything on fire which in turn almost catches my laptop on fire. Read the rest of this article…

Strikefleet Omega Review: Great Space Strategy For Your Android Tablet

I’ve been dying for a fun space strategy game on any platform for ages and recent offerings have been a bit flat. But the fact that are so few decent non-tower defense titles on phones/tablets kills me because the touch screen is perfect for that style of game. Strikefleet Omega is, reduced, a freemium tower defense game, something that would’ve thrown me off if someone had explained it to me that way, but instead, I’ve found a flashy little game that’s super fun to play and willing to swallow up your free time… if you have a tablet, that is.

Let’s Play Minecraft: Trial of the Amiaba Ruins!

Well I’m back playing Minecraft again and this time Nick decided to join me. We searched hard and wide (15 minutes) for an awesome newer co-op map and we found one, The Trial of the Amiaba Ruins, made by rookie map maker WillM. We set out on our journey with the bright idea of using the 1.3 pre-release and setting up a local game so I didn’t have to set up a server online. That didn’t turn out as planned.

Dead Trigger Review: Insert Coin To Shoot Zombie

Free to play games seem to be popping up everywhere, some seem really great, and others let their reliance on micro-transactions drag them under the water line. While originally offered for a mere $.99, developer MADFINGER Games felt obliged to give it away on the Google Play Store because of rampant piracy of the game. Oh sure, you can play Dead Trigger for free, but it’s not long before the game bares its teeth.

E3 To Stay In Los Angeles Until 2015, Avoid Santa Monica Situation

Today the Entertainment Software Association (or the ESA, for the rest of us) informed us that their world-famous Electronic Entertainment Expo (or E3, for the rest of us) will remain in Los Angeles. The organization, which represents hundreds of gaming entities and runs the world’s largest gaming show, had some trepidation about staying in Los Angeles with Farmer’s Field about to be placed where the current West Hall stands. Well, it looks like hugs and kisses made their rounds and E3 will be locked into Los Angeles until at least 2015. We, of course, will be there.

Castle Story, An Exciting New Minecraft-ish Strategy Game, Beats Kickstarter Goal On First Day

When Kelly tipped me off to this a few months ago, I was immediately excited. Take a classic real-time strategy game like Command & Conquer or Stronghold and implement brick-by-brick detail. Or, take Minecraft and zoom out a bit, allowing you to command workers to build your structures exactly as you see fit. Throw in a dash of Dungeon Keeper or even The Settlers and you have Sauropod Studios’ Castle Story, which is already making bank months from release. Another indie gaming smash in the making?
