Siege of Orgrimmar Coming Soon To WoW

Posted on August 27, 2013 by Les Major

As many of you know, I was a huge fan of the Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War novel by Christie Golden. Unsurprisingly the events in that book and seemingly the following title Vol’jin Shadows of the Horde (I haven’t read it yet but it does seem to fit the current WoW story) fit into actual World of Warcraft lore. Odds are if you’re reading this, you’re already a big WoW fan anyway, but if you’ve been out of the game for awhile the info below may contain spoilers. Or if nothing else, a good glipse at the future of Azeroth.

Electronic Arts is preparing to release the promised Mac OSX port of Sim City later this month, according to a press release issued earlier in the day. Multiplayer is front & center in the new Sim City and it is no surprise that the game will be cross platform, enabling established PC players interact with Mac players/ Sim City will be available in both digital and physical (boxed) flavors on August 29th. Here’s hoping that the Mac version isn’t plagued as some of the same connectivity issues as the PC version. Last I heard, things have been running rather smoothly.

Nintendo Purchases Through PC Coming This Year

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Jason Nason

Nintendo is planning to let users have more access to their Nintendo Network accounts … from somewhere other than their Nintendo device. By the end of this year, Nintendo will be adding a new system that allows players to manage their Nintendo Network accounts through smartphones and PC. They’ll also be able to make their purchases there too. This is a part of Nintendo’s plans to further enforce their downloadable sales, while showing players what else there is in store for them. The company has been struggling with sluggish financial results for some time now, and to climb their way

Check Out ‘If My Heart Had Wings’ Release Trailer

Posted on July 27, 2013 by Les Major

Dating Sims are a genre that is too few and far between, at least that’s what I’ve thought over these years. In general, they take romantic storylines and put you in control of their outcome. Usually with a lot of drama along the way. MoeNovel has released If My Heart Had Wings in English and you can check out the trailer after the break. Even though the game is censored to only focus on the romance aspects and keep the sexual content out of the game, this still looks like a fun story to explore. Of course too, with beautiful

Rogue Legacy Scratches That Metroidvania Itch

Posted on July 27, 2013 by Les Major

Sure, it’s not exactly the same and has a bit of a lighter feeling of sorts, but Rogue Legacy combines the randomness of classic “Rogue like” games and the side scrolling exploration of Metroidvania style Castlevania advetures. Eager as I am for a new Castlevania title like the DS and Symphony of the Night games, I dove into Rogue Legacy hoping for somewhat of the same feel and I’m having fun! The biggest complaint I’ve heard about the game is how it’s more so a grind getting gold that you then use to choose parts of your keep to improve

Shadows of the Eternal’s Kickstarter Is Back From The Dead

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

You can’t keep a good game down, and it seems like Precursor Game’s Shadow of the Eternal is one of those projects that won’t go down without a fight. After a failed dual source funding campaign that combined KickStarter and their own crowd funding effort through the game’s official website, Shadow’s of the Eternals has been relisted on KickStarter with a much smaller target. David Hayter, the voice of Solid Snake, has also joined in the on this time period jumping action-adventure according to the re-launched campaign. Amazingly they have raised $116,000 in just 24 hours! With 28 days to

Editorial: Multi-Game Guilds, Good or Bad?

Posted on July 2, 2013 by Trish Bennon

Com·mu·ni·ty: a unified body of individuals as a group of people with a common interest gaming together within a larger society <a guild> For many gamers, one of the most alluring aspects of online gaming is the opportunity to bond with other people.  Whether their interest lies in player-vs.-player fighting, roleplaying or end game raid content, being able to share those interests with other like-minded players is what keeps them engaged and interested.

Shadowrun Returns Coming July 25th

Posted on June 19, 2013 by Eric Bastelak

So the awesome looking Shadowrun Returns finally has a concrete release date July 25th 2013. I am pumped for this one guys. A tactical RPG experience set in a cyber-punk universe was enough to sell me. Then I found out we’re getting a full fledged tool-set. The community will be able to enhance the current game as they see fit, or create entirely new stories. Look forward to seeing this one on tablet mobile devices and Steam in just over a month. Below you’ll find some very intriguing game play footage. You can also check out a gallery of screen

Endless Space Expands With Disharmony, Due Out June 26th

Posted on June 19, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Explore, expand, exploit and exterminate is the name of the game in the 4X Genre. This small sub-set of the strategy genre has a very supportive fanbase who have thrown their weight behind a number of smaller projects that have been very success, especially on the PC. Needless to say, announcement of new expansions to these smaller, yet immersive games are inevitable. Such is the case with the expansion to Endless Space, titled Disharmony, this $9.99 DLC expansion allows players to unlock a brand new faction, The Harmony, as well as hero units. Endless Space features a state-of-the-art campaign, allowing

Deadfall Adventures Gameplay Trailers From E3

Posted on June 18, 2013 by Joshua Rust

Announced earlier this year by Farm 51 & Nordic Games was Deadfall Adventures. To put this game into perspective…think of Lara Croft meets Indiana Jones.  Played in the first person perspective, Deadfall Adventures will take you to exotic places all across the world such as the ancient Mayan ruins, Egypt, and even the Arctic. Starring as James Lee Quatermain, great grandson of legendary Allan Quatermain, players will journey through the 1930’s in search of fame and treasure – scratch that, just treasure. Boasting “fast paced action of intense gun battles with adventure gameplay that rewards players for exploring, solving puzzles and

The Elder Scrolls Online Headed To Xbox One & PS4

Posted on June 12, 2013 by Joshua Rust

Proof that developers and publisher still believe that MMO’s can work on consoles. Defiance has started off on a pretty good note, it lacks a little depth after putting in about 100+ hours but it’s still proof that they can work on a console. So, nothing makes me happier to confirm that Bethesda is bringing The Elder Scrolls Online to both the Xbox One & Playstation 4 – targeted at a 2014 release date. Straying from the traditional single player formula, TESO looks like it could be the next World Of Warcraft. Question remains, can they keep the integrity of what
