Why You Should Ignore Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning’s Constant Namedropping Posted: 02 Feb 2012 06:41 AM PST When I was in junior high school (centuries ago), I always found the metalhead clique at my school intimidating. Rangy boys with long, oily hair and a collective uniform consisting of boots, black-washed jeans, and black T-shirts imprinted with art from album covers by bands whose names bore gratuitous double consonants and lent themselves to harsh, angular logo designs, the metalheads always hung out together at the side of gym class, discussing their heroes’ latest wailing guitar concoctions and glowering at the rest of the world. They sported the shifty desperation unique to 14-year-olds jonesing for a drag on a stolen cigarette. It was all kind of alarming for us clean-cut students whose main ambition for gym class was to avoid notice by the jocks and dropouts while hanging out on the sidelines discussing the latest Zelda strategies with each other (dude, if you just keep going up when you get to that one spot in the mountains, there’s a dungeon there!). In hindsight, though, I realize that the metalhead kids were harmless. They never picked on anyone; they never caused trouble outside of skipping class to hang out and listen to noisy music. They were as geeky as the video-game-fixated A-students; the only difference between us was that their obsessions were wrapped up in an affected antisocial style. Their music may have been about volume and screaming and satanic posturing, but it was just that: Posturing. Underneath it all, those guys just wanted to do their own thing, and they wore their ragged Dokken shirts with pride because they sincerely thought that airbrushed zombie warriors chained to naked, guitar-wielding sex slaves was, like, so awesome.

Skyrim Creation Kit Announced Posted: 02 Feb 2012 06:41 AM PST The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Creation Kit has been announced by Bethesda Softworks, along with details of the content creation modding tool. "We've created a monster… and you will too," said production director Ashley Cheng of the Skyrim Creation Kit, which will soon be available as a free download on Steam. The Skyrim Creation Kit will include many new features over previous Bethesda Creation Kits (which includes Fallout 3′s G.E.C.K.) and Bethesda has collaborated with Valve to create something rather special, "We teamed up with Valve and created the Skyrim Workshop… With Skyrim Workshop, you can browse and search for the latest or highest rated mods, subscribe to any that interest you, rate your favorites and post feedback. Once you've subscribed to some mods, start the Skyrim launcher and you'll see your subscribed mods automatically download. The launcher will even check if a mod has been updated and grab the latest version." Check out the details of the Skyrim Creation Kit in the video below.

Anarchy Online Review Posted: 02 Feb 2012 01:29 AM PST Anarchy Online is a 3D Sci-Fi MMORPG originally released as a subscription-based game, but it's now available for free. Anarchy Online has four playable races and a whopping fourteen different classes to chose from. While the core game is now free, playing through the expansion pack content still requires a monthly subscription.   Publisher: Funcom Playerbase: Medium Graphics: Low Quality Type: MMORPG EXP Rate: High PvP: Duels / PvP Zones / Guild Wars Filesize: 1.58 GB Website: http://www.anarchy-online.com/ Pros: +Large game world. +14 classes & an in-depth skill system. +Player run economy & cities. Cons: -Dated graphics and gameplay. -Expansion pack content only available to paying members. -Limited Sci-Fi elements during the early stages.   Anarchy Online is one of the oldest MMORPGs that's still around and still shows signs of growth. The Sci-Fi theme set it apart from the competition during its original release and continues to be a source of strength and originality. The sheer level of detail when it comes to character growth and available classes is breath taking. Even though it was released 8+ years ago, Anarchy Online has a much more complex skill system and far more professions (14) than most games being released today. Unfortunately, the graphics and combat system have not aged well. Those looking for a fast-paced game with exciting fights may be disappointed. But if you're looking for a deep game with a player driven economy, be sure to read the full review. Races: Solitus - Direct descendants of humanity. Solitus are balanced in all of their basic abilities. Opifex - Bred for stealth and speed, Opifex value their agility over strength and stamina. Nanomage - Originally created as Nanotech research assistants, Nanomages have more Intelligence, Psychic, and nanopool than other races. They are the most frail race and depend less on physical abilities like Strength, Stamina and Agility. Nanomages are considered harder to play at high levels due to their low health. Atrox - Designed as mine workers, Atrox were made genderless. They are large hulking beings that favor Strength and Stamina over Intelligence, Psychic, and Sense. Atrox are much heartier and have greater health, but less nanopool than other races. Atrox are the easiest race for beginners to play because of their high health, though they make poor casters. Professions: Adventurer - At home in the wild, Adventurers resemble rangers in many ways. They use both ranged and melee weapons and even possess healing abilities. Preferred weapons: 1H edged & pistols. Preferred breed: Solitus Agent - The masters of the shadow, Agents focus on concealment and subterfuge skills. Their weapon of choice are snipers which can deal heavy damage from a safe distance. Preferred weapons: Rifles. Preferred breed: Opifex Bureaucrat - Though weak in combat, Bureaucrats can build robots to fight for them. They make natural leaders in group situations. Preferred weapon: Pistols. Preferred breed: Solitus Doctor - The primary support profession that specializes in healing. Doctors can also use biotoxins to slow down and weaken opponents. Preferred weapons: Pistols, SMGs, Shotguns, 1H edge, Martial Arts. Preferred breed: Solitus Enforcer - Close combat specialist. Physically superior to other professions, they bear the brunt of enemy attacks while relying on others to heal them. Preferred weapons: All, though they excel with 1H or 2H blunt & edged weapons. Preferred breed: Atrox Engineer - Like Bureaucrats, Engineers shun direct combat and construct battledroids to fight for them. They also have powerful abilities to support their droids. Preferred weapons: Pistols, Launchers, Shotguns, Martial Arts. Preferred breed: Solitus Fixer - Fixers are the only profession that can access 'The Grid' and teleport themselves and their team across the world at the speed of light. Fixers are difficult to hit and have abilities that limit the maneuverability of their opponents. Preferred weapon: SMGs. Preferred breed: Opifex Keeper - Close combat specialist who uses 2H edged weapons. Keepers have the unique ability to share life and diverse powers with nearby allies. This profession is only available with the Shadowlands expansion. Preferred weapons: 2H edged. Martial Artist - The best at dishing out raw combat damage, Martial Artists rely solely on unarmed combat. Martial Artists can also use healing spells and abilities. Preferred breed: Opifex Meta-Physicist - This profession can summon material entities and use them in combat though their own combat skills are low. Preferred weapons: Bows, 1H blunt, Pistols. Preferred breed: Nanomage Nano Technician - The premier casters of Anarchy Online. They possess powerful area-of-effect spells and other offensive abilities. Their use of physical weapons is weak, however. Preferred weapons: Pistols. Preferred breed: Nanomage Shade - Shades are a sneaky profession that relies on stealth and concealment. They suck the life and energy out of opponents rendering them defenseless. Shades cannot wear armor but have high natural defense. Available only to those with the Shadowlands expansion. Preferred weapons: Piercing. Preferred breed: Opifex Soldier - The premier offensive profession, Soldiers rely on armed combat and defensive skills to stay alive. Preferred weapons: Assault Rifles. Preferred breed: Solitus Trader - The businessman of Anarchy Online. In combat, they have the ability to drain opponents of skills, energy, and health and transfer it to themselves or allies. Preferred weapons: Shotguns. Preferred breed: Solitus Anarchy Online System Requirements Minimum Requirements: OS: Windows 98/ME/2000 CPU: Pentium II 300MHz RAM: 128MB HDD: 2.6 GB Graphics Card:  8Mb video memory Recommended Specifications: OS: Windows XP or Vista CPU: 2.0 GHz Pentium 4 or better RAM: 512 MB HDD: 3.0 GB Graphics Card: 32Mb video memory

Skyrim Workshop Could Bring Mods to the Masses Like Never Before Posted: 01 Feb 2012 06:37 PM PST For all of its bugs, glitches, and issues, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is still a remarkable game. As I’m sure was the case for many other gamers, the promise of eventual mod support was in and of itself enough reason for me to purchase the game on PC. Expansive mods are no longer all that far off as support is in place for the Skyrim Workshop now that the 1.4 update is available through Steam. As demonstrated in the video above, Bethesda will soon be releasing the Creation Kit (mod-making software comprised of the same tools used to make the game) to the masses, enabling those who are so inclined to begin creating new content for what is already a content-rich game. Mods do exist for Skyrim but they are largely limited to things like UI refinements, improved world maps, enhanced textures, and so on. The Creation Kit should allow for a great deal more than that. What’s especially exciting is the Skyrim Workshop, which is the name now being used for the Skyrim section of the Steam Workshop first announced in December. The latter half of the video shows why this is a big deal: mods created in the Creation Kit can easily be uploaded right to the Workshop so that users can browse, rate, and comment on them. Most importantly, mods can be installed with a single click. Games have become more mod-friendly in recent years, but the process for installing them can still be daunting to less tech-savvy gamers. Backing up files and extracting ZIPs and merging folders may not sound like a big deal to you, but for others it can be a confusing mess that only becomes more complicated when it comes time to update or uninstall those mods. Also an issue with mods is the discovery process. Sites like Skyrim Nexus do exist that compile mods in one place. The problem is such a site is a step removed from the game and Steam, and it therefore might never be discovered. Even if it is found, some gamers might be wary of downloading files that don’t come from an official website. The Skyrim Workshop appears to solve each one of these issues — discovery and installation happens right within Steam, minimizing the amount of effort involved and maximizing the exposure mods receive by bringing them to an audience who might not even be aware that mods exist. Bethesda isn’t making the Workshop the only place to get mods, eliminating any worries of Bethesda or Valve censoring mods they don’t approve of while still providing a safe and easy place for mods to be shared. It’s really nothing but good news as more gamers will get to enjoy the wonderful world of mods and modders will find themselves with a larger pool of potential downloaders for their projects. The only caveat is you need Skyrim for PC. The system requirements aren’t especially demanding by today’s standards, though the ideal situation would be for these mods to made available on consoles. Bethesda production director Ashley Cheng mentioned the possibility in a blog about the impending Creation Kit release, writing, “We’re going to keep looking for ways to get mods to more people, and hopefully one day to our console audience.” Maybe this could happen through an extension of Steam, as we’ve already seen Valve’s platform used in the PlayStation 3 version of Portal 2. For now, though, we’ll have to settle for mods being more accessible than ever before for PC gamers.

Dragon’s Prophet (TW) Posted: 01 Feb 2012 06:37 PM PST If you missed out on my previous posts for this game (link), Dragon’s Prophet is a Taiwan-developed MMORPG conceived by Runewaker, the same minds behind Runes of Magic (RoM). As the game’s title suggests, there will indeed be many interactions with the grand and majestic reptile, dragons. I shall skip the storyline and go straight into some of the core gameplay features. So just how many dragons are there? Well, there is no official number yet, but according to exclusive presentation slides, there are currently 8 different categories of them. According to the slides below, they are: Heavy (thick outer skin, able to carry heavy weights), Predator (balance in both speed and attack), Rush (fastest land travel speed, hunts in numbers), Flying (rulers of the skies, the only dragon type with which can fly other than Ancients), Gliding (gliding ability due to body structure, ambushes prey), Aqua (strong jaws and moves fastest in the water), Bug (a type with various alternative looks and abilities) and Ancients (rarest dragon type). So what do players actually do with all these dragons? Well, you catch and train them of course! Pretty much like a pet system, players will have to allocate skills for them, fight with them and PvP as well! But do take note of what types of dragons you are gunning for (especially in terms of size), as the player below might find that out in a hard way… Talking about PvP, there will be guild territories to fight for and construct your own town, house, castle (as the location for PvP territory control), resources and more, which you can see in the slides below. I just drooled thinking about the different types of dragons fighting each other in mass PvP combat @_@ Instanced dungeons wise (what would MMOs do without them), there are currently 2 types revealed, adventure and storyline. Each dungeon will have 5 different difficulty level as well, making it possible for players to solo them (I am guessing not many good items drop then). Before I forget, and it actually did not cross my mind till I was about to publish this post, there are currently 4 player classes selectable. They are loosely known as Dragon Blood Warrior (melee tank), Dragon Shadow Ranger (physical ranged), Dragon Breath Wizard (magic ranged) and Dragon Theory Disciples (support). Apparently the dragons are really getting the VIP treatment in this game. There are many cross-servers functions being planned as well. As of now, only the Taiwanese and Japanese (under Aeria Games Japan) are confirmed. Currently taking part in Taipei Game Show 2012, perhaps more overseas servers will be confirmed in due time.

America’s Army MMO Review Posted: 01 Feb 2012 01:28 PM PST America's Army is a 3D tactical shooter developed by the U.S Army. Part recruitment tool and part PR ploy, America's Army is a popular game now enjoyed by players around the world. With a greater emphasis towards realistic combat and teamwork, AA stands out amongst the crowd of MMOFPS games. Publisher: U.S. Army Playerbase: Medium Graphics: Medium Quality Type: MMO EXP Rate: High PvP: Team Based Filesize: 4209 MB Website: http://www.americasarmy.com/ Pros: +Varied game modes. +Four roles to chose from. +Training designed by U.S Army. +Realistic weapons & gameplay. Cons: -Requires punkbuster to play online. -Must unlock new gear by completing training missions.   America's Army is a tactical MMOFPS released by the U.S Army. The most recent version of the game was made using the Unreal 3 engine and has an interface similar to other shooting games. What sets AA apart from rivals is its emphasis on realistic, team-oriented gameplay. Players must chose between four roles at the start of a mission and work closely with their teammates to accomplish their mission objectives. The game has quite a few maps and each comes in three modes ranging from 'VIP Escort' to 'Secure and Defend.' Roles: Rifleman - The basic soldier of the Army. Riflemen are versatile and have a large range of equipment options. Automatic Rifleman - Armed with a M249 SAW, the Auto Rifleman is capable of firing off a large number of rounds at a rapid rate. Grenadier - Armed with an M16A4 and a M320 grenade launcher, these soldiers provide explosive support fire from medium to long distance. Squad Designated Marksman – While not a sniper, the SDM engages targets further away than other riflemen with a specially designed M16A4 DMR.     America's Army System Requirements Minimum Requirements: OS: Windows Vista / XP CPU: 3.0 GHz Single Core RAM: 1024 MB HDD: 5.0 GB Graphics Card: NVIDIA 6600/ ATI X1300 Recommended Specifications: OS: Windows Vista / XP CPU:  2.4 Ghz Duel Core or better RAM: 2 GB or more HDD: 5.0 GB Free Graphics Card: NVIDIA 7950 /ATI X1950 or better

Skyrim Workshop Could Bring Mods to the Masses Like Never Before Posted: 01 Feb 2012 05:32 PM PST For all of its bugs, glitches, and issues, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is still a remarkable game. As I'm sure was the case for many other gamers, the promise of eventual mod support was in and of itself enough reason for me to purchase the game on PC. Expansive mods are no longer all that far off as support is in place for the Skyrim Workshop now that the 1.4 update is available through Steam. As demonstrated in the video above, Bethesda will soon be releasing the Creation Kit (mod-making software comprised of the same tools used to make the game) to the masses, enabling those who are so inclined to begin creating new content for what is already a content-rich game. Mods do exist for Skyrim but they are largely limited to things like UI refinements, improved world maps, enhanced textures, and so on. The Creation Kit should allow for a great deal more than that.

Why You Should Ignore Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning's Constant Namedropping Posted: 01 Feb 2012 05:00 PM PST Before the demo from two weeks ago, all most people knew about Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was that it's the first product of a studio that boasts a roster containing baseball legend Curt Schilling, comics and action figures guru Todd McFarlane, Dungeons & Dragons scribe R.A. Salvatore, and Internationally Celebrated Game Designer Ken Rolston. That, along with the basic boast of how Reckoning mashes up the combat of God of War with the expansive world of an Elder Scrolls title, dominated public awareness of the game. We've seen the game a few times, but even those demos were either a brief and out-of-context presentation or, in Jeremy's case, a long yet woefully out-of-context hands-on session. Jeremy had the unenviable task of jumping into a late-game area completely cold, dealing with a combat system and boss encounter designed for people who have been playing the game for 30-plus hours and a story moment that, while cool-looking, was dense with Salvatore's Amalurian jargon. In contrast, I've been playing a final copy of the game for a good 40 hours (and have only recently reached the area that Jeremy was thrust into), and while my final thoughts will have to wait until next week's review, I find that once I played the game at my own pace, it managed to grab and hold onto me more than any other time I'd seen it.

The Free-to-Play Shift Continues: Rift Now Free Up to Level 20 Posted: 01 Feb 2012 03:29 PM PST As if EverQuest dropping subscriptions wasn't enough of a sign that the subscription-based MMO business model will eventually be replaced by free-to-play, Trion Worlds has announced it will begin allowing players to experience a good chunk of Rift's early game content for free. It's an identical move to the one Blizzard made last summer in the face of declining World of Warcraft subscription numbers. Coinciding with the release of the 1.7 update, a version of Rift known as Rift Lite is debuting today. By signing up for a free Trion account, you will be able to play up to level 20 without any restrictions on how long you can play for. Previously the trial available would only allow for seven days of play time before requiring the game be purchased in order to continue. That was a more significant free period than WoW's (which allowed you to play for only 48 hours), though removing the time limit altogether is a smarter approach.

Review: Mutant Mudds Proves to be Worth the Asking Price Posted: 01 Feb 2012 02:30 PM PST As a rule, I like to avoid to discussing price and value when reviewing games. Who am I to say how anyone else should spend their money? Finances are a tricky enough topic on their own, and I'd never presume to know the first thing about anyone else's money matters, how they determine their gaming budget, or what they find valuable in a game. However, the matter of pricing has largely dominated online discussion of Mutant Mudds for 3DS, up to and including the game's developer, Renegade Kidd, throwing their own hat into the ring. The developers have been very up-front about the game's somewhat premium price (at least as far as eShop games go) and the thinking behind that decision -- namely, the fact that Renegade Kidd hopes to stay in business. This in turn has sparked debate over Nintendo's handling of the eShop versus Apple's approach to the iOS App Store, the pricing of non-retail games, and ultimately may have played a part in the game's price coming in "slightly lower than expected" at $8.99.

Zynga's Alleged Copycat Seems to be Lacking the Innovation it Preaches Posted: 01 Feb 2012 02:17 PM PST Although it was hardly the first time it had been accused of copying an existing game, accusations that Zynga had cribbed the design of Tiny Tower struck a more sensitive nerve than usual. Maybe that's because Tiny Tower is more beloved and well-known than, say, a game like Farm Town, which seems to have had a pretty clear influence on FarmVille. As expected Zynga has denied the allegations and even suggested those complaining about their games being copied are not as innocent as they would have you believe, though it still remains to be seen where Zynga has innovated on the Tiny Tower formula. Following in the footsteps of Tiny Tower developer NimbleBit, Buffalo Studios released an infographic contrasting the recently-revealed Zynga Bingo with its own Bingo Blitz game. There are certainly similarities, though Zynga posits the reason its game resembles Buffalo's is not because Zynga copied the competition.
