Warframe Review

I've done a Beta Impressions for Warframe before but since then there have been various updates to Warframe and they also change how the upgrade system works. And since now I also have a lot more hours of experience with the game I can talk about more stuff.

Guest Post: DreadOut Demo Review by ExTeeYuu

Guest Post? yes, it is exactly what it says, a post made by a guest. Well, essentially I will post articles that people send to me here in my blog. The topics/games discussed in Guest post could be posted again by me but at least you guys can have a different perspective of it. This first Guest post is made by ExTeeYuu from the RedditKS Steam Group that I'm in. Enjoy his review of DreadOut Demo.

Well, I might be a bit late but I guess it's better late than never right? The Indonesian horror game DreadOut now have a demo. For those of you with more bravery than me(I guess that means all of you) you can download the demo on DreadOut's official site.

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.

Blizzard Announces Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

Well this is a bit unexpected. Mostly because there's already a World of Warcraft TCG but Blizzard's own CCG title is an online Card Game, different from the printed cards that Cryptozoic made.

Warframe Open Beta and Steam Support

After a few month in Closed Beta, Warframe has now entered Open Beta. Not only that, on March 26 Warframe will also come out on Steam. So all of you who haven't tried Warframe yet, jump in now and be a Space Ninja.

Fading Line Between Genres in Games

Remember a few years back back we can just point to a game and say "this is an RPG" and "that is an FPS". Nowadays everything is also something else and plenty of games have combined elements from multiple genres that genre lines in games are really blurred.

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.

Warframe Crafting Blueprint Locations: Update 7.0

Now that Update 7.0 is up, it's time to update the crafting blueprint locations list. Several new planets, weapons and Warframes are available in this update.

Trendy Entertainment Announces Dungeon Defender II

Dungeon Defender is a pretty fun game which combines tower defense, hero defense and RPG into one entertaining package. Now, Trendy Entertainment has announced Dungeon Defenders 2 and now they've added a new competitive mode.

Skullgirls Indiegogo Campaign and MLP Fighting Game

It has been 20 days and Skullgirls' Indiegogo Campaign has already raised $443,458(at the writing of this post). The campaign not only successfully funded Squigly but also Big Band, complete with story mode for both of these characters. But of course, you can still help out.

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?

Greenlight It #4: C-Wars

Another interesting find in Steam Greenlight. C-Wars is a sci-fi game which combines gameplay from various genres like RTS, tower defense, tactical game and RPG. It combines interesting gameplay with really good looking pixel art and animation, reminiscent of classic SNES or GBA games.

World of Tanks Review

Boy am I late on reviewing this game. But hey, better late than never right? This Online Tank game is pretty popular right now, especially in Russia. The game might not be for everyone because of its difficulty but if online tank combat simulation is your thing, this is a game you definitely don't want to pass on. Oh, if my screenshot looks a bit weird with all those weaboo animu crap it's because I'm using a mod to change how the game looks. Don't like anime? too bad.

My Opinion on the Xi3 Piston

The Xi3 Piston is now open for Pre-Orders and for those who thinks "this is it, this is the gateway that'll bring console gamers to the PC", prepare to be disappointed.

Sword of the Stars: The Pit Review

Some of you might have alrady heard about Sword of the Stars, a series of decent 4X games. Now, Kerberos productions has made another game for the Sword of the Stars series and it's...a Roguelike.

Kickstarter Watch #11: Shroud of the Avatar

Richard Garriott is back. Well if you don't know who Richard Garriott is you should probably check out here. While some of his games flops but he did make the Ultima series which is pretty awesome. And now, he's kickstarting his newest game, Shroud of the Avatar.

Like for English Version of Project Diva

News has been slow for the past few days so shut up. But seriously though, for those of you who likes Hatsune Miku and the Project Diva series, SEGA is actually wondering they should bring the latest Project Diva to the west.

Kickstarter Watch #10: Torment: Tides of Numenara

Okay I'm still pretty shocked after seeing this game in Kickstarter so this'll be pretty short. For those of you thinking "Torment? what about it?" then I suggest you play Planescape: Torment and experience for yourself one of the best CRPG of all time.

Cyanide Announced Blood Bowl: Star Coach

Some of you might say wtf is Blood bowl? suffice to say that it's a fantasy football game involving all the races of the Warhammer Fantasy setting. So you'll see orcs, lizardmen, wood elves, dark elves, dwarves and plenty of other choices. And now, Cyanide has annouced that their next Blood Bowl game, Star Coach which is a free to play title!

Skullgirls Indiegogo Campaign Adds New Reward Tiers

The Skullgirls Indiegogo campaign was highly successful since Lab Zero got their funding goal of $150k in just under one day. Of course they aren't going to stop there and they have stretch goals already set up for the campaign which includes another character(Big Band, the first playable male character in Skullgirls) when they reach $375k and one character that the players can vote as the third DLC character when the funding reaches $600k.

INheritage Trailer

I've posted about INheritage before and you can read it over here but maybe some of you will ask, "what does the actual game look like?". Well ask no more, because today the devs at Tinker Games has released a trailer for their shoot'em up game.

Blacklight Retribution: Onslaught Mode

Okay, so apparently I haven't reviewed Blacklight Retribution before. And now that Zombie Studio has added a new game mode and updates for it I'll be posting my opinion on this new game mode.

Put Microtransaction in ALL the Games!

Well, apparently EA will put microntransactions in all of their future games. While I don't mind microtransactions in mobile games and online games(as long as it only involves cosmetics stuff) putting microtransactions in single player games is a different case entirely.

The Banner Saga: Factions First Impression

I never heard of Banner Saga before but apparently it's a pretty big deal as it's made by ex-Bioware guys. The Banner Saga went on Kickstarter and got around 7x the funding that they set out to get. Now, while the guys at Stoic Studios are working on the Single Player campaign of Banner Saga they released the multiplayer part on Steam, for free.

Star Conflict Beta Impressions

I was never a Space-Sim fan, I get disoriented easily and the controls are usually too complicated for me to get into. So imagine how I felt when I tried Star Conflict for the first time. I jumped in expecting to get upset over the usual controls but instead I came out with a new favorite game.

Greenlight It! #3: RIOT

I stumbled upon this game on Greenlight and I just love the way it looks. The style reminded me of Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. It's simple pixel arts but when you look at it, it's just hard not to fall in love with how great it looks.

Skullgirls Indiegogo Campaign

I've been following about Skullgirls for a long time. I'm not really a fighting game player but I really like Skullgirls artstyle and character design, the fluid and good looking animation also doesn't hurt. Now the game have been struggling because of some problem with the publisher earlier on 2012 but now it's back and Skullgirls needs your help!

10% Discount on Marvel Heroes Founder's Pack

For those who wanted to buy a Founder's Pack for Marvel Heroes I have a code that can be used to give yourself 10% for any Founder's Pack.

Freemium MMOs Are The Future

Freemium is the latest trend in MMO, and plenty of AAA games have changed their business model from Pay to Play to Freemium. There are however other MMOs that are still trying to use the Pay to Play model. Is Pay to Play model really still viable? or are Freemium and Buy to Play really the way of the future? (Do take note that when I say Freemium I also consider Free to Play and Buy to Play to be on the same boat).

Greenlight It! #2: Delver's Drop

Quite some time since the last Greenlight It! huh? no matter! because you're going to like this one! It's a 2D Action RPG with physics-based movements and it looks gorgeous. Just one look at the game's video and screenshot already made me fall in love with the game, at least based on its looks.

Dead Island GOTY Edition Giveaway on Raptr

Like zombie games? use Raptr? well, they're going to do a giveaway for Dead Island Game of the Year Edition in a few days.

Kickstarter Watch #9: 4chan Drinking Game

Oh this gotta be a joke right? right?...no? Okay now 4chan is pretty infamous around the net(the people there blame it on /b/ but they're all pretty much crazy). But let's just face it, what you find on 4chan is quite funny. So, what if someone created a 4chan drinking game? it should be hilarious, no?

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.

Path of Exile Season 1 Race Events

Path of Exile is quite big right now and fans of the Action RPG genre should already know about this game. If you don't know about PoE, then check out my impression of it here. The devs will be doing a race evnt starting on February 23rd and there will be plenty of prizes!

Tentacle Bento (Review and Thoughts)

Tentacle Bento has created quite a controversy before when it's pulled from Kickstarter because some people just can't take a joke. It's already out for some time now but I never really got plenty of chances to play the game.

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.

SMITE Beta Impressions

I can't believe I haven't wrote anything about SMITE yet in my blog, I feel a bit silly. I played SMITE for a bit a few months back, almost a year ago even. I enjoyed it quite a bit but eventually I went to play other games. After quite some time I decided to try out SMITE again and the difference between a few months ago and what it is right now is quite astounding.

Ghost Recon Online Review

Competitive Cover-based Third Person Shooter is a new thing for me. I've played Cover-Based TPS before like Gears of War and Mass Effect but never played a competitive one where I play against human players. On top of that, I never played any of the Ghost Recon games. So, will I like Ghost Recon Online? or would the game be too alien for me to get into?

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.

Warframe Crafting Blueprint Locations: Update 6

Update 6 has come and there are plenty of changes to the game. New planets, stages, weapons, warframes and of course changes to the blueprint locations.

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.

Founder's Program Trend in Gaming

After the trend of Kickstarting a game which is still running quite well until now, game devs are starting another trend which worries me quite a bit, Founder's Programs. Plenty of games has done this namely Path of Exile, Firefall, Marvel Heroes, Neverwinter, and some others I might have forgotten. Is this really a good practice? what are the advantage and disadvantages of this program? could it be improved? let's explore about this a bit.

Tekken Card Tournament Beta Impressions

Everyone and their mother knows Tekken so I don't even have to tell you how awesome it is when I heard that they're combining it with Trading Card Game mechanics. I know that it has been done before with the Universal Fighting System TCG but this time, it's also available online.

Kickstarter Watch #8: CRYAMORE

We're back to Kickstarter Watch! In this 8th Kickstarter Watch I'm going to talk about Cryamore, an Action Adventure game with RPG elements designed to be reminiscent of classic adventure games such as Legend of Zelda, Megaman, Brave Fencer Musashi, Legend/Secret of Mana and Metroid.
