This, lots of this. You know, throw back to old school dungeons and dragons, it was not unheard of for a group of friends to throw down some cash on a new book full of interesting loot for their characters, essentially buying more options and such to draw from. BUT - they still played the...

I'll give Aion this: it's stunningly beautiful. Maybe even a step ahead of today's PCs: it looked like even the trailer was chopping. I played it when it first game out, like others have pointed out, the game just takes too long. Too much grind, dungeons sub bosses would only appear half...

15 to 14 at the time of this posting. I can honestly say this is the first time in 30 years that I feel like my vote counted for something. YARRR!

I'm not sure who the best vs would be, but the matchup better be chessboxing.

This was recently my experience with Monday Night Combat. Free weekend?! It thought, how could this go wrong. I played. And of course, a lot of other newbs played too. It was fun. I got some kills. I got more deaths. I said, this is something good. This is something my friends should...

Fox is not news, its entertainment. I tend to stick with CNN, which reports world news and not just US, and thus tends to end up freer from US politics. Or if I want news about games, Escapist and Rock Paper Shotgun, because their only political agenda is more, better games :)

All in all, felt very bland. I feel like the cliche RPG stereotype parody has been done, and this really doesn't do it any better or add much for twists. Do you all remember Abraham Lincoln (THE most powerful sorcerer, ever?) This needs more of that. Less stupid, more towards crazy.

My thoughts exactly. You can't churn out a CoD clone that makes no significant improvement, and expect existing CoD fans to shell out 50-60 bucks on it. You only get to get away with cloning the game and reselling it anyways if you can put a higher number on the end. See Madden 1992 - 2011...

This idea sounds even better than a static house, but it still suffers the same problem. Either you instance it in which case you aren't really showcasing anything, or you don't in which case the skies above orgrimmar and stormwind will just end up blotted out by everyone's blimpmobile.

I'm really not hurting for a lack of player housing in WOW. If I want to build and decorate a house, I'll play minecraft. Or Sims.

If content were pylons, this article couldn't build a probe. :(

I'm with the crowd that really wanted this to be a spiritual successor to Master of Magic. And I remember, playing that game back when I was like 13: it was buggy, poorly balanced, etc: and still managed to bring hours of fun. But I can't bring myself to play games like that anymore calling...

Yes - the Tao teaches us not to become permanently attached to anything, even our own bodies. After death you really don't need your body, while others could greatly benefit from either a donated organ or indirectly from medical advances through scientific research.

Any businessman will tell you that you have to balance the short with the long term. So be good, but don't discard the option to stand up for yourself if someone is hurting you or those you care about. Girls (and people in general) aren't so much attracted to jerks as they are attracted to...

Onyx Guardian + his 3 drakes (and the 25 man version, no less). Yea, I'm pretty toast.
