MMO’s Tavern – Pandamonium

I apologize for the terrible pun. It will be the last one this week, probably… As I mentioned last week, the Mists of Pandaria beta started and shortly after I finished last week’s article, I got a key to join in on the beta. Murphy’s law in action right there, folks. There isn’t a whole lot of new content available right now. The mostly finished Pandaren starting zone is available for testi...[Read More]

Game of Thrones RPG – Plot Trailer

Cyanide may not have the best reputation (the studio, not the chemical compound…although, it doesn’t have a bright reputation either, come to think of it), but I find myself hoping against hope that their upcoming Game of Thrones RPG will be a good game. The script has been supervised by George R.R. Martin himself, many of the characters are modeled after the critically acclaimed HBO s...[Read More]

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier – Guerilla Mode

Following the trend set by many shooters over the past few years, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is incorporating a horde/firefight mode. Guerilla Mode, as it’s called in GRFS, was included to provide a more intense mode where the player would be able to feel overwhelmed, as if it were “four against an army.” On your own, split-screen, on a LAN, or online with your friends, you can ...[Read More]

Spider-Men is coming in June

This summer is going to be one hell of an interesting one for Spider-Man. Marvel’s greatest hero is already starting his possible greatest epic against the Sinister Six in Ends of the Earth, and with the film reboot coming out, how could it get more epic. Two words: Spider-Men.

Arcade Next Starting April 18th

First, there was Summer of Arcade. With the success of the Summer of Arcade promotion, Microsoft threw their first annual House Party. Now, it seems that a third event is being introduced with some big titles in the mix. Arcade Next, as it’s being called, kicks off April 18th and sees a new top notch title released each week through May 9th. What sets this event apart? It seems that this eve...[Read More]

Assassin’s Creed III – Connor Archive Entry

After a great deal of anticipation, the marketing machine for Assassin’s Creed III seems to be kicking into high gear with some awesome assets. This batch shows an Animus archive entry for Ratohnhaké:ton, aka: Connor. Beyond a bit of biographical information for the new entry’s protagonist, his arsenal of weapons is given a bit more detail. From dual pistols for medium range, bow and a...[Read More]

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier – Valiant Hammer Co-Op with Commentary

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier’s co-operative campaign is not for people like, oh I don’t know, let’s say my wife. Why do I use her as an example? She’s a loose cannon, a wild card, a loner. In co-op games where teamwork and cohesiveness are of paramount importance, she plays it like it’s Halo. Needless to say, she’s probably not invited to our GRFS co-op games whe...[Read More]

Wheels of Destruction – Soldier Class Trailer

Wheels of Destruction hits PSN tomorrow for $9.99. In advance of that, another class trailer has been released. The fourth such trailer details the Soldier class. Much like choosing to play as human in most fantasy RPGs, the Soldier is referenced as a “jack of all trades,” which would make him a master of none. The Soldier is likely the most balanced of the classes available in the tit...[Read More]

Review: Sumioni: Demon Arts (Vita)

My initial impressions for Sumioni: Demon Arts were mixed. I had been eagerly anticipating the title as a beautiful and interesting platformer since I first heard of it back in December. It seemed to be a title that would be a great showcase for the touch mechanics of the Vita with a unique and exotic style. I started my first playthrough at approximately 5:30pm Wednesday evening. I finished my fi...[Read More]

Review: Mass Effect 3 (PS3/360)

After completing Mass Effect 3 a total of four times on two platforms, countless hours of multiplayer, and numerous podcasts covering the story and controversies around it, I still don’t know if I’m ready to talk about the game. My career with Mass Effect as a series has meant completion of every game on both Xbox 360 and again on PS3, reading comic books and novels, and pulling everyone I could i...[Read More]

MMO’s Tavern – Inaugural Edition

Hello and welcome to the first ever MMO’s Tavern, my name is Thom and I’ll be guiding you safely through this week’s MMO news.

FarCry 3 – First Gameplay Trailer – Dr. Earnhardt

During last year’s E3, it was my opinion that the Ubisoft press conference was the best of the bunch. Part of their offering was a gripping and captivating trailer for FarCry 3. Featuring a mohawk-clad individual harping on the definition of insanity, it was one of the more thrilling and spine tingling experiences of the event. More recently, FarCry 3 went a bit dubstep. Now, Ubisoft has giv...[Read More]
