Fallout Online: Finally and Truly Dead?

January 13, 2012 Peter Blank No comments

Fallout Online, AKA “project V13″: will it ever see the light of day?

On Monday, Bethesda announced the end of a three-year long legal battle with original Fallout developer, Interplay. According to reports, Bethesda paid Interplay $2 million in the settlement, under which Interplay surrendered any and all licensing rights to create Fallout Online. If rumors are true, they even agreed to give up the rights to publish their Fallout PC classics, including the original game, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics.

But the big question is, now that Interplay is out of the Fallout Online picture, will Bethesda develop and release a Fallout MMO of its own? Is Fallout Online dead?

Would a Fallout MMO even be enticing for fans? Tell us what you think!

Browser Based OGAME.ORG

May 18, 2011 Peter Blank No comments

Over the past few months I have been trying out one of the myriad of online browser-based games, named Ogame. This game is produced by GameForge and is a real time strategy space game, where you colonize planets, mine resources, build defenses, attack neighbors and build alliances. This game has some pros and several BIG cons, but first the good news. The layout of the game is great, with easy, clearly marked buttons and panels, but as in so many other areas, it’s what’s on the inside that really counts. Click past the break for the down and dirty details!

Fallout New Vegas Patched…with more crap

May 02, 2011 Peter Blank No comments

Recently, Bethesda released a update patch for their RPG Fallout New Vegas. I think great, they finally got around to fixing the myriad of glitches and freezes that has been a nuisance since it’s release of 10/19/2010. So I download the patch in Xbox live and guess what – somehow, unbelievably, they’ve fucked it up even more! Now not only are the glitches still there, but all my DLC is missing, and I can’t continue my saved games that I already invested many hours playing to near completion. My head nearly exploded with what came next. Blood and outrage after the break!

The PlayStation network has been down for several days following last week’s outage. Sony is now rebuilding their network, and in a press release stated the cause of this outage is due to possible hackers. Rumours have been circulating that the person or people responsible is a group of hackers named Anonymous due to their recent declaration of war on Sony. Check out the threat after the Break!

MODDED WARFARE 3

January 25, 2011 Peter Blank No comments

Rumor has it that Activision will be releasing “Modern Warfare 3″ in time for the 2011 Holiday Season.”Modern Warfare 3″ will be developed by Infinity Ward with a little help. Sledgehammer Games is helping with the single-player campaign and Raven Software is helping with the multiplayer. In my opinion Infinity Ward needs more than a little help with the Online Multiplayer. Why you ask? Well I’ll sum it up in one word “CHEATERS”, Modern Warfare 2 is full of MODDERS, GLITCHERS and LITTLE TEAM KILLING DOUCHEBAGS, and Infinity Ward never dealt with the problem, except for having Microsoft BAN modded consoles that were playing pirated copies of MW2.

DRAGON AGE – ORIGINS

June 06, 2009 Peter Blank No comments

Origins E3

By Peter Blank

Dragon Age: Origins was introduced at the 2009 E3 by Lead Designer Mike Laidlaw. This 1 player D&D style game, is built on Bioware’s Eclipse game engine, and from what was shown at the E3 has an awesome story line and promises to be one of the best RPG’s ever released. The game play, storyline, and NPC interaction kicks ass, all decisions made, effect how the story goes and how the NPC characters interact with you as a player.

Dragon Age: Origins is a dark heroic fantasy set in a unique world. As the spiritual successor of BioWare’s popular Baldur’s Gate series of games, it uses a pause-and-play tactical combat system. Play in over-the-shoulder mode, or the more tactical top-down view. Dragon Age: Origins features a stunning amount of cinematic dialog. Players will be able to acquire unique party members. These party members will have their own motivations for accompanying the player.

Dragon Age is set to ship 10/20/2009 and will be available on the PC, Xbox 360, and the PlayStation 3 and YES there will be a World/Tool set builder for the PC.
