Posted: 26 Aug 2011 02:11 PM PDT

Bigpoint has announced that they have added EA’s Battlefield Heroes to the North American Bigpoint portal (http://us.bigpoint.com/games/battlefieldheroes/). Bigpoint also publishes Lord of Ultima through their portal, making this an additional EA game available through Bigpoint’s account and currency system.

Battlefield Heroes is a free-to-play third-person shooter based on the Battlefield series, but featuring more cartoonish graphics and ease of play, versus Battlefield Play4Free’s more realistic style.

Bigpoint also publishes Battlestar Galactica Online and Drakensang Online.

Following the successful integration of EA's hit Play4Free title – Lord of Ultima – into our worldwide games portal earlier this year, we're pleased to announce that Battlefield Heroes has now been added as well. It's available to our community of players through www.bigpoint.com or http://us.bigpoint.com/games/battlefieldheroes/

Battlefield Heroes is a Play4Free third-person shooter that brings classic Battlefield gameplay to everybody. The game features cartoon-style graphics and gameplay that caters to players of all skill levels. Battlefield Heroes is easy to pick up and play but has robust character customization and engaging online features so gamers can spend hours building up their characters and conquering the world. With a variety of classes, vehicles, and avenues of attack, no match plays the same way.

Bigpoint is one of the largest browser-based online game portals in the world, with over 200 million registered users fueled by 250,000 new registrations per day. Unlike most online game companies, we leverage a global network of 1000+ media partners to distribute our games, which we localize in 25 languages. While we develop the majority of our own titles – like Battlestar Galactica Online, Drakensang Online, and DarkOrbit – we also publish other companies' games – this is what we're doing with EA's suite of free-to-play titles.

The new patch includes a brand new mode, a new map and new weapons, parts and accessories. A new trailer and screenshots explore the new map and feature the characters sporting the new content that is now available to players. To check out the all the new features and to view the new screenshots and trailer, players can visit http://www.MicroVolts.com/

MicroVolters will have to amp up their competitiveness in new mode, Arms Race! Players have 20 weapons to conquer and must rapidly master each weapon to defeat their opponents before they are able to upgrade their arsenal. The toy war continues in the new map, Toy Fleet, where players will quickly find out that this is no ordinary kiddie pool! >From steamboats to battleships, MicroVolters will have to dodge enemy bullets without falling in the water!

In addition to the new mode and map, new weapons, Parts & Accessories have also been introduced. With summer almost over and back to school season upon us, the MicroWorld is celebrating both occasions! MicroVolters take one last strut down the beach in Naomi’s Grey Tank Top before pulling out Knox’s School Ready Hoodie to gear up for class. School yard bullies will be seeing red after being whacked by the Red Drawing Pencil!

“The MicroVolts community had a great summer and now it’s time to head back to school-but that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to have fun!” said Howard He, President and CEO of Rock Hippo Productions. “From the new Toy Fleet map to the fast paced Arms Race mode to all the new accessories, there will be plenty for MicroVolters to enjoy well into the Fall!”

Rock Hippo invites all their Canadian fans to come and see MicroVolts on exhibition at Fan Expo in Toronto, Canada this week, August 25-28! Visitors can participate in the special promotion for in-game currency as well as come grab some cool gaming swag at Booth 1445.

MicroVolts features fast paced, third person shooter action and pits players against each other in a secret battle that has been waged and going unnoticed right in our own backyard for years. No one knows for sure when or where the first toy declared war but rumor has it that the uprising began with four original limited edition figures, code-named MicroVolts. Battle lines were drawn when Naomi, Knox, Pandora, and C.H.I.P.-the prototypes-were soon joined by an endless number of modified versions. Now, toy figures around the world are engaged in an all-out war for valuable battery resources and supremacy of the Micro World. All we can do now is stay out of their way and wait for a champion to be declared! Featuring a ton of weapons, inventive character designs, and a huge list of customization features, MicroVolts is destined to invigorate and re-energize the Free2play space.

Game modes include Free for All, Team Deathmatch, Item Match, Capture the Battery, and many more featuring various toy-concept maps. For more information about MicroVolts visit www.MicroVolts.com

Age of Empires PvP (1v1) Gameplay

Posted: 26 Aug 2011 12:39 PM PDT

To Learn More About the Game Check out our Age of Empires Online Page.

Age of Empires Online is a 3D strategy MMO published by Microsoft – the same company behind Neosaurs. Age of Empires Online is the next installment of the legendary “Age of Empires” series. Unlike other AoE games, Age of Empires Online isn’t a game you can jump into right away and begin playing against others. Players must first complete a bunch of quests before they can begin facing off against other opponents. The video above highlights a random 1v1 skirmish game against another player. Unfortunately the match making system needs quite a bit of tweaking. To learn more about Age of Empires Online check out the official MMOHut Age of Empires Online page which includes a detailed review, tons of screenshots, and additional videos.
