If you are an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) player this familiar term might either get you pumped up or sends shivers down your spine. For those of you who are not familiar with ‘grinding’ here’s a quick definition: grinding is simply performing a task repeatedly to achieve some goal. In the context of MMO games…
Winning Putt is a new free online golf game by Bandai Namco. If you have not tried it yet, more than likely you will find that the new online game is neat and nifty as well as fun to play. The game allows you to move from amateur status all the way up to pro…
The industry of MMO gaming has changed immensely over the last several years. Due to the flood of massively multiplayer games, it has become harder and harder for any one game to stand out and gain a crowd of it’s own. Eventually the lack of players changed the genre in a major way when companies…
A great deal has changed in Gielinor, the realm of Runescape between Summer?2013 and now. Which game renovations went over well, and which should be left to ?the trolls? A little over a year ago and after much anticipation, Jagex’s centerpiece MMO-RPG Runescape made its jump into Runescape 3– an improved version of the [now]…
Ever since World of Warcraft’s release in 2004 Blizzard has dominated the MMO field. No other game has done as well as WOW. It, also, has stayed on top for almost 10 years. They released four expansions with a fifth announced in 2013 but has yet to be released. Over the game’s lifetime it was…
Women are represented pretty poorly in the media. Their roles are neglected in every genre of film from comedy to action, downgraded to sexual prizes won by the male lead, or the nagging “straight-man” foil to a charismatic Adam Sandler-alike. Screenplays either completely gloss over any attempts to create depth, or get praised for having…
These days I don’t seem to be able swing a mouse without coming across the announcement of another new MMO game. I’m certainly not complaining about this uptick in popularity and variety. It’s refreshing to be able to go beyond the realms of EverQuest and WoW, and even the RPG genre, when it comes to MMO…

Over the last week I have gotten a chance to spend some more time with Firefall. Leaping back into the fray for hours a day during my wife’s post wisdom tooth removal naps. After the time I spent with the game last week, I was eager to get back into it. There is just something…
It’s been a rather sad time for those of us who are consistently big on playing games to revitalize our childhoods. Recently, Disney announced that it would be closing up shop of probably one of the most charming MMOs out there: Toontown Online. Sure, it’s definitely a kid’s game, but just look at it objectively!…
Wha-What? … Can it really be?! …Is it… possible? Guild Wars 2 has recently announced their commitment to releasing new material every two weeks! Guild Wars 2 Commits to Biweekly Releases By new material, I don’t just mean bug and game balance fixes, upgrades to existing content, or temporary material that will disappear in a…
1-1-1-2-1-3-1-1-1. What’s that you ask? A password? Some sort of secret code? NOPE. That’s just you, playing any old MMORPG. Aren’t you tired of that? I know I am! Hotkey based MMOs seem a little outdated to me. While I’m still a fan of Star Wars: The Old Republic (though my attention toward the game…
Maybe it’s because the development team are obviously on the side of the Imperium and I’m more of a Slaanesh girl, but the recent announcement of Eternal Crusade (an MMO based on the 40K universe) did not thrill me to my core, the way it should have. It’s not that it won’t look beautiful, there’s…
I love the Elder Scrolls series. I just wanted to get that out of the way so nobody thinks otherwise. I began playing the series when Morrowind was it’s newest game and have been in love ever since. There are just things that the Elder Scrolls games have done that no other franchise seems to…
In recent years, many people have imagined the concept of zombies coming to life and destroying the world. Books, games, and television have all had a fair share of zombie themed content ranging from absolutely incredible to absolutely crap. It’s safe to say that we can expect this trend to only grow stronger, and we…
