One of my major issues with the game is the lack of some kind of vault in which to store items that you might need later on in the game. I end up carrying around way too many gifts for companion characters I haven’t even met yet, for example. If you have the same problem, [...]

Posted in general mmo, warcraft, tagged 3.2, 3.3, arthas, as good as the last patch, bored, coliseum, gameplay, patch on November 11, 2009 | 12 Comments »
I cannot remember a time when I have been as glutted on awesome computer games as I am right now at this moment. My gaming hours are still very occupied with Dragon Age, which is offering some of the most compelling, immersive gaming I’ve ever had on PC right now. It is not only a [...]

This week, two main news stories made their way out of EA. The first one is that they bought Playfish, the social/ facebook gaming developer, for a eye-bleeding $300 million plus change. And the second is that EA laid off a lot of staff, including 40% of Mythic, developers of Warhammer Online. I think it’s [...]

Trust me, I’m a dwarf Dragon Age is the game I’ve been waiting for ever since I started to play CRPGs, and I hadn’t even realised. In fact, I’d all but given up on ever having a computer based RPG that came anywhere near the nuances of a tabletop game. But I was wrong. Bioware [...]

Tarsus explains why we should always blame the tanks and gives a reason for just about every situation. Blizzard’s new petshop has inspired KIASA to sing. Katy Perry had nothing on this. We’ve seen a lot of other blog reactions to the petstore. The majority accept that the pets aren’t a big deal, but there’s [...]
Thought for the day: Single player games and the internet effect
Posted in single player games, tagged downloading, dragon age, internet, piracy, single player games on November 7, 2009 | 7 Comments »
I’m much more likely to want to buy a single player game when it comes out when I know that a lot of my friends will be chatting about it online. The pressure to be part of that ‘first wave’ is higher than it used to be. Even being three days late on Dragon Age [...]
Perhaps we just don’t want to talk to YOU

This is a great (non)news story in the games sphere. Yesterday gaming sites were reporting that Valve’s Chet Faliszek complained that my fellow brits are too quiet on voice chat. “You guys are notorious non-talkers on both 360 and PC. Americans are just chattering away, working together as a team. If you want to work [...]
