Funcom’s latest MMO outing, The Secret World, dropped its embargo today. Interviews and previews are popping up all over the shop. I’ve not had the chance to rummage fully through them all yet. However, heavily influenced by Lovecraft, there is one thing that we can be sure it will possess in abundance. Tentacles!!! I always hoped that someone would build an MMO based on the Call of Cthulhu tabletop RPG. The great thing about it is that you would […] After my last post on Lordcraft’s theft of the Warcraft IP, if I had any remaining doubt in my mind that World of LordCraft is by the very same people behind Evony, that doubt has been extinguished. I don’t know if this is a new advert. I’ve certainly never seen it before today, but if it did not have a big “World of LordCraft” logo, anyone would assume it was an Evony ad, complete with the “Come Play, My Lord” […] There is much to say about World of LordCraft, the latest addition to the world of browser games. Little of it is good. It is essentially an Evony reskin, though with the addition of a Might and Magic type battle system, and the hero-equipping features of Kingory. It also has the kleptomaniacal tendencies of Evony, having plundered World of Warcraft for every ounce of lore they can manage. Races, placenames, and history have all been pulled directly from World of […] This performance is two for the price of one. With Kraljevi Ulice & 75 Cents’ “Romanca” you get the spectacle of a septuagenarian rapping in Croatian, paired with a genuinely haunting song. It was especially notable for its excellent selection of hats. Miserably,they only came 21st out of 25, with 44 points. I suspect the lyrics are a bit too meaningful and depressing for the tastes of most Eurovision judges. For me, it was the best song of the […] This screenshot was just posted up on Twitter. What does it mean? The Free Realms Pirate Treasure Hunting minigame! It means that Pirates are coming to Free Realms! No longer will those pesky Ninja get to rule the roost, for their nemesis is upon them. I think I just found a new favourite career. There had been rumours that the scurvy swabs might be incoming, ever since a sharp-eyed dataminer found piratical content in some of the gamefiles. […] The UK picked our representative for the Eurovision song contest at the weekend. As has been usual, recently, our entry is going to be boring and uninspired. But that’s alright, as I’m sure the other nations will provide some fine entertainment, and some great music, not always at the same time! It saddens me that my US friends miss out on this yearly spectacular! Over the next few weeks I’m going to post some of my favourite Eurovision songs of […] A couple of weeks ago, as I mentioned, I started playing EVE. It is a very different sort of MMO, but I think I’ll save the game analysis for when I’m feeling a bit more intelligent. Still, I thought you might be somewhat curious as to how I’m getting on. Quite well, as it turns out. EVE’s learning curve is famously steep, and it is very easy to find yourself wondering what the heck you should do next. Fortunately I […] |
