I
thought there wouldn’t be news today seeing that Korea and China are
both having holidays, but a Taiwanese gaming site reported on this game,
hence you are reading it now! This is Brick Force, the maiden title of
Korean developer EXE Games. It first debuted in the media back in April,
but I have [...]

As
an avid fan of the Toku series in Japan including Super Sentai, Kamen
Rider, Garo, Gridman etc, I was just as surprised as anyone else when
Power Rangers Online was announced 2 weeks ago (link). Already onfirmed
to be a side-scroller MMO, the first few monster images released today
are actually 3D character models, [...]

(Benchmark

update which will apparently change the game to “Monster Hunter Frontier
2″, adding in tons of new content, including monsters, areas, weapons,
character actions and more. Seeing that it is a Pay to Play game,
getting into the server is not really that [...]

Back
in May 2010 (link), I first posted about one of the biggest online game
developer and publisher in China, NetDragon, working on Dungeon Keeper
Online. The game is a joint production between NetDragon and Electronic
Arts (EA), and there was quite a skeptical bunch of gamers since the
developer is from China. Most didn’t [...]

Protesters
claiming unpaid wages at RIFT China [LOL] While RIFT celebrates its
mega expansion in North America, the game is not doing too well in Asia,

owing them nearly CNY 460,000 (USD [...]

You
might remember us applauding the Tokyo Game Show 2011 news of Ninja
Gaiden (Xbox) creator Tomonobu Itagaki being a playable character in
Saints Row: The Third. Though, now with the benefit of hindsight, it
seems that the news was less, “he is an in-game persona you can interact
with,” and more, “you can create [...]

I
am guessing gPotato is more well-known in the West as a MMO publisher,
but not many knows that its parent company, Gala-Net, actually has
development studios (Gala-Lab) in Japan and Korea. 2 of the more famous

Eternal Blade, which was hiding [...]

The
price drop may have resulted in the 3DS’ much-improved sales in recent
months — leading to it already surpassing first-year sales of the DS —
but it also left early adopters feeling like they had made a mistake by
choosing to pick up the 3DS so quickly. Luckily a gesture was made to

Android Dominating Surging Smartphone Market
"After two consecutive quarter of decline in mobile phone sales, demand has improved in both mature and emerging markets as sales increased sequentially," said Anshul Gupta, principal research analyst at Gartner. "In China, sales of mobile phones grew driven by sales of smartphones, while demand of feature phones remained weak. In mature markets, we finally saw replacement sales pick up with the launch of new devices in the quarter."
This is mostly to the benefit of Google's Android platform, which now holds a 72.4 percent of share of the smartphone market, climbing 19.9 percent from a year ago. In second place is iOS (iPhone), which declined 1.1 percentage points in the same period to 13.9 percent.
After that, it's a scrap the bottom between RIM (5.3 percent), Bada (3 percent), Symbian (2.6 percent), Microsoft (2.4 percent), and all others (0.4 percent).

New Darkfall dev diary vid talks art direction, Unholy Wars changes
So Darkfall 1.0 has come and gone, as Aventurine has officially closed the servers in preparation for the Unholy Wars reboot. The firm has also released a five-minute dev diary video featuring creative lead Adam Oikonomopoulos, who talks at length about the game's art direction updates and AV's expanded creative vision.
The video boasts a bunch of fly-through shots that show off Agon's new textures, higher polygon counts, and improved shaders, many of which are a marked improvement over the originals (that date back to the game's genesis in 2002 in some cases).
Oikonomopoulos also mentions that Unholy Wars and the original Darkfall are set "several hundred years apart," which accounts for some of the changes in both the landscape and the game's architecture.

RAM Gone Wild: Overclocker Pushes G.Skill TridentX Kit to 3,900MHz
Overclocker "Christian Ney" achieved the world record just a few days after another overclocker, "HiCookie," first broke the record with the same kit. HiCookie achieved 1,677MHz (3,354MHz effective) using a Gigabyte Z77X-UD4H motherboard and Intel Core i7 3770K processor.
Christian Ney trumped HiCookie's frequency using an AMD system with a Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H motherboard and A8-3870K processor. In both cases, a healthy dose of liquid nitrogen was required to keep everything cool.
Gee, good to know G.Skill isn't hanging its hat up and calling it quits.

A (spoiler-free) jaunt through Guild Wars 2's Lost Shores
Guild Wars 2's Lost Shores update is just around the corner -- that is, if you can consider nighttime to be a corner. What I'm trying to say is that Lost Shores goes live tomorrow. We brought you a content primer a couple of days ago to give you the basics of what's going on. Now it's time to take a closer look at what's to come.
Skip on below the cut for a spoiler-free look at the Lost Shores content. I mean, reasonably spoiler-free. I'm going to tell you that the karka are involved and that there's a dungeon where you fight things. We can't really have much of a conversation elsewise, but what I'm not going to do is give away any big finales or gotcha moments. Now that we understand each other, let's get going.

On the Surface, Microsoft's "Kludgey" Tablet is Hardly Competition, Says HP
"I'd hardly call Surface competition," Todd Bradley, head of HP's PC business, told IDG Enterprise in an interview, according to CiteWorld.com. "[Reason] one, very limited distribution. It tends to be slow and a little kludgey as you use it. It's expensive. Holistically, the press has made a bigger deal out of Surface than what the world has chosen to believe."
HP's last real attempt at the consumer tablet market was the ill-fated TouchPad, a promising webOS tablet that was perhaps priced too high to woo buyers away from the iPad. These days, HP is more focused on enterprise slates, and that isn't about to change.
"We're not entering the consumer tablet fray any time soon," Bradley added. "We'll be doing something next year, but you won't see a consumer tablet from HP before Christmas. You'll see convertibles that are focused on how you use the device, keyboard, clamshell."
Bradley also expressed interest in getting into the highly competive phone business, but hasn't yet formulated a strategy.

EVE Online prepares to roll out Retribution ship rebalancing
With EVE Online's newest expansion, Retribution, only a couple of weeks away, the devs are all abuzz over the features and changes coming with it. One of the biggest of these is a widespread effort to rebalance ships and put them in line with each other. CCP Fozzie reports that 40 new and existing spaceships are slated for the expansion overhaul, with more on the way after that.
Even though change can be a scary prospect, Fozzie sees the rebalancing as a boon to the community: "Every time EVE's balance changes, it creates new opportunities for clever players to demonstrate their creativity and separate themselves from the pack. We know that our customers are amazingly creative with ship fittings and tactics and that if we give them a new set of tools they'll do things better than we could have imagined with them."

World of Warcraft Mega Bloks commercial airs
MMO Toys: World of Warcraft Mega Blocks commercial airs
Don't call them "LEGOs" or "Blocks," although we would forgive you if you did make one of these common mistakes when dealing with Mega Bloks. The definitely-not-LEGO toymaker is releasing a series of World of Warcraft sets and now has the commercial to prove it.
The 30-second spot shows the creation of Stormwind castle, one of the Horde zeppelins, and several action figures of WoW characters (including Arthas). Each has interchangable armor, which is right in step for what you'd expect from an MMO franchise.
