PotBS had its second stress test this weekend, and I was actually able to get in this time and give the game a shot, and it only took 12 hours of patching, thanks SOE…
Download issue aside, and I don’t think this breaks any NDA, here are my first impressions of PotBS, which I will say […]

Today, Flying Labs Software dropped the NDA on Pirates of the Burning Sea and officially launched its Open Beta in anticipation of its early January release. I had the chance to get into the last few weeks of closed beta and was able to log enough hours to give some initial impressions. I […]
Looks like a slow end to the week–and the month–MMO news-wise. After a largely PC-less 2007, I scraped up my end-of-the-year savings and ordered a new gaming rig with what scratch isn’t going towards Christmas gifts.
I work for a college out here, so we have a built in week off between Christmas and New Year’s. […]

Body blow. Funcom announced today that they are delaying release of Age of Conan until March 25, 2008. Good for Funcom, bad for impatient gamers, hopefully good for folks longing for a quality, new, polished MMO.
I’m very glad that game developers (and those who back them financially) have the courage enough to wait to release […]
