Bartle engaged in a healthy debate with F2P proponents during the Develop conference held recently in England.     |

| Swordsman: More 'Hack' Than Slash Posted: 09 Jul 2014 06:55 PM PDT Having given Age of Wushu and similar departures a try here and there, I felt that Swordsman Online could be the breath of fresh air I needed to cleanse my palate for a while of grittier, more frustrating affairs. And while it's certainly not perfect, completely polished, or even difficult (at least as far as the lower levels go so far) it's an interesting alternative to succumbing to games with subscription fees or steep entry costs.   |
| World of Warcraft: Artcraft & the Male Draenei Posted: 09 Jul 2014 08:34 PM PDT The latest Artcraft has been posted on the World of Warcraft site.

| H1Z1: Making Weather a True Part of the Game Posted: 10 Jul 2014 07:53 AM PDT In most MMOs, weather is just a novelty. It adds some ambiance to the world and makes a zone seem more lifelike. That's not going to be the case with SOE's zombie survival MMORPG H1Z1 (also known as Hizzy). I had the chance to sit down and chat with Senior Designer Jimmy Wisenhunt and Graphics Programmer Ryan Favale to talk about how weather in their game won't be just a setpiece, but a part of the survival and gameplay in H1Z1.   |

| Star Wars: The Old Republic: Will Galactic Strongholds Be Your Star Wars Home? Posted: 09 Jul 2014 04:26 PM PDT Ever since February, we knew about Galactic Strongholds as 'SWTOR Does Housing', but we really hadn't seen many details on how it will work, what it will entail, or perhaps most importantly, how much it will cost. BioWare Austin recently announced their plans to do a weekly livestream on http://twitch.tv/swtor on Thursdays to go over the features of the new expansion between now and when it soft launches in August.   |
