Are you interested in this MMO? I’m not sure if its worth releasing any new MMO’s since WoW has dominated the market to the extent that it has. Its like making a new Coca- Cola competitor right now…an idea that will more than likely fail. Here is now some PR speak about this new game, “Set 300 years after the …

Apparently they patented the idea of creating a virtual world and allowing people to interact inside of it, you know the same type of thing that every single MMO uses and games like MAG and APB …

Rockstar Games creative VP Dan Houser talked about the change with Edge Online recently, and he believes that people are largely misremembering the series of GTA III games and their tone. “We’re still figuring out what we’re going to do next, because of the downloadable content. I don’t think it’s set anything in stone, it’s just what we did with …

Hellgate: London – Shutting Down in January

By Nick De Bruyne

It's no secret that Hellgate: London was a miserable failure. The team behind the title mostly comprised of ex-Diablo developers who banded together to form Flagship Studios. The game enjoyed massive hype and had followers dying to get their hands on the game, especially when the CG trailers were looking so incredibly impressive. Unfortunately, once released, it didn't take long to figure out that the game was nothing but a huge disappointment. The quests were boring, the controls weren't great and the world felt dead, completely destroying the MMO feeling that Flagship had originally set out to create. Well now, little over a year after it's release, the servers are going to finally shut down. January 31st will be the last day that Hellgate sees and until then, there will be no subscription fees for the game. It really is a shame to see that a game with so much potential failed to deliver the goods. This is just a reminder to developers out there that unless you have thought everything through and given 110%, your game may very well have it's plug yanked from the wall.

KOTOR Fans Rejoice – New Star Wars MMO Officially announced

There have been rumours flying around the net for quite some time now that Bioware is working on a new MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) game based on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) franchise. Well good news is upon us all because it has finally been made official. The new MMO will be titled Star Wars: The Old Republic and will be the first MMO for BioWare, who are famous for their incredible role playing titles. First details have been released, more after the jump. Now, this must be due to the World of Warcraft fad but if you have looked at the header image for the article then you will see that the graphics have been stylised into a more cartoony look. Now you can put me into the same boat as all those people who are bitching about Diablo III's new look, but I really feel like the KOTOR series was not one that would ever work well with that kind of look. What was wrong with the realistic Sci-Fi approach that they had to the visuals. Now my character has to run around with a lightsaber handle the size of a small mammal. If you want to read more about it, check the source below because IGN has an exclusive feature with details and more about the game.

KOTOR MMO to be officially announced very soon

KOTOR, which is used for short to describe the Star Wars role playing game The Knights of the old Republic, was an incredible franchise with many fans and followers on the original Xbox as well the PC. Many fans have cried out in the past in the hope that another KOTOR title will soon be made, with a few feeling let down when we were given Mass Effect instead. While Mass Effect proved to be a phenomenal game, there is still that burning desire to jump back into a galaxy far, far, away. While EA head honcho John Riccitiello already let slip in the past that Bioware and Lucasarts are working on a new MMO ( Massively Multiplayer Online) title, there has never actually been an official announcement. All of that could change very soon. News of an upcoming announcement has popped up in a UK paper, The Daily Star. CVG now reports that: "A column that appeared last Saturday reports that the rag is soon off to San Francisco to 'file an exclusive report on the game', after stating that BioWare is working on 'a MMO of Knights of the Old Republic'." I sincerely hope that this actually happens because a KOTOR MMO, with Bioware and Lucasarts behind the developement will have potential to blow us clear off of our couches. Please, oh pretty please, be true.
