My Favorite Game of 2013

Whoa, no updates since November. Let's just say I was a bit...busy, mkay? Well, since it's already 2014, let's look back at 2013 and see which game is my favorite game of 2013. This post might also contain a game that disappoints me the most in 2013 and a game I look forward to the most in 2014.

Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn have been out for awhile now. After its failure years ago, have Square finally created a great MMO? let's find out.

Is It Pay to Win? - Marvel Heroes

This week's Is It Pay to Win will talk about Marvel Heroes, an Action RPG MMO filled with various...well, Marvel Heroes. The devs have changed some of the item prices on the shop and added a few more stuff for players to spend their money on. Is the game Pay to Win? let's take a look.

Marvel Heroes First(Second?) Impression

Marvel Heroes doesn't really have a good actual first impression for me when I play it on the closed beta. Really bad performance issues, some weird character models(lol @ Thor) and an overall feel of the game that leave a lot to be desired. I decided to give it a second chance and jump in when it's released. This would  technically be a second impression? whatever, I'm experiencing the "actual" finished game for the first time so I'm going to say first impression, deal with it.

Beginner Tips and tricks for Neverwinter

Neverwinter just entered Open Beta stage and so many players jumped in to the server that the queue time is a bit ridiculous, especially for a free to play game. Now for those of you who successfully got into the game, you might need some help to make the most of it. I'll share some tips and tricks to help make your game time more efficient.

Defiance Beta Impressions and My Thoughts on the Business Model

I've been interested in Defiance for quite sometime because it offers a similar experience to Guild Wars 2 but with different combat mechanics and setting. The fact that it's also linked to a TV series is also a pretty big plus. I've had my hands on two Defiance beta weekends and this is my impressions of the game from both beta weekends.

Be a Hero of the North and Gain Plenty of Bonuses

Perfect World Entertainemnt is really pushing their newest game Neverwinter to get as many players as possible. They've even added new benefits to their Hero of the North Founder's Pack which includes various bonuses for almost all of Perfect World Entertainment's games.

Scarlet Blade Closed Beta Impressions

Easily offended by boobs in games? hated TERA because it's 2lewd4you? then you should probably stop reading this and move along. Seriously, because Scarlet Blade is a game that'll make TERA looks really tame in comparison. But more importantly though, is it a good game?

Guild Wars 2: More stuff to do together

February 26th is getting near and a new update for GW2 is also coming. This one will add a lot of interesting stuff to do with your guildies.

Games I'm Currently Playing, Feb 2013 Edition

It's been awhile since I've done these "games I'm currently playing" thing. It's not really that interesting, I know but I just like to share these as I like to share my thoughts on my blog. There aren't really many new games I've played currently but they're still pretty fun nonetheless. Here we go.

Neverwinter Beta Impressions

Neverwinter just had their first Beta Weekend event and I got access to it and tried the game for some time. The game is definitely interesting and had some amazing concepts although it does have its share of weaknesses.

The Secret World First Impression

I played The Secret World for a bit since it went Buy to Play but haven't really experienced too much of it. However I've seen enough and played enough to post about my impressions on the game so far. Of course this is a First Impression and my thoughts about the game could change after I put more hours into the game. We'll see.

How Guild Wars 2 Ruined Other MMORPGs For Me

Not to sound like a fanboy but I'm serious when I say that playing Guild Wars 2 has ruined plenty of other MMORPGs for me. It's not that "ooh it's so good you won't want to play other games" because I'm currently playing other MMORPGs but it's the various helpful features that you take for granted which you actually miss when playing other titles.

Neverwinter Founder Program has started

I've been following about Neverwinter for quite some time now. I'm interested because it would be the first D&D 4th Edition game that'll come out. I know most D&D fans doesn't really like 4th Edition but you have to admit it is the perfect system to be made into an MMO. After almost a year of waiting for the beta test Perfect World has announced the Founder Program for Neverwinter. It seems every new MMO nowadays have Founder Packs.

Thoughts On The New Guild Wars 2 Daily Achievement System

Flame and Frost has brought with it a new Daily Achievement system to Guild Wars 2. It's not really a new system but changes the way Daily Achievement works a bit by adding random objectives to be done daily. Of course not all players will like it but some are just overreacting and protesting just because they like to whine.

Firefall Beta Impressions (plus 4x Permanent Beta Key giveaway)

I got into Firefall closed beta since a few months ago. Tried the game and felt that it has potential but lacks content. Now after a few months I got back into Firefall again and check out whether they made sufficient improvements on the game.

TERA Free to Play, Should you Jump In?

TERA is going Free to Play starting next month. It's actually a Freemium model since there is still the TERA Club option for those who still wants to pay but the limitation for the Free Players aren't really harsh and doesn't make them second class players, which is a very good thing. That's good and all but is the gameplay any good? Should you give this game a chance?

Useful sites for The Secret World newbies

The Secret World went B2P a few weeks ago and I just started playing now. If you're like me and is new to the game. You might be confused or in need of some guidance. Check out these useful sites which will help you on your journey in The Secret World.

TERA went F2P

Like it or not, Freemium is the MMO business model of the future. Not saying that Pay to Play is a failed model but nowadays where there are plenty of MMO in the market it's just easier for players to play MMOs for free and then decide whether they want to spend money on it or not. And no, those 7 days trial bullshit doesn't count as "trying". After a few big titles went Freemium last year, TERA Online has decided to do the same thing. Yes, TERA is going Free to Play.

Kickstarter Watch #6: Pathfinder Online

For those of you who knows about Pen and paper RPGs you should already know what pathfinder is. It's a RPG ruleset and setting derived from the Dungeons and Dragons rules, some even calls Pathfinder DnD 3.75. And now, Goblinworks is trying to make Pathfinder Online which features plenty of innovative features not found in most MMOs.
