MMORPG Editorials

With the exception of the cult following that League of Legends enjoys the most consistently busy booth at PAX East was that of Elder Scrolls Online. And it was well deserved. This is by far the most beautiful game I have ever seen. The images you will see throughout this article and all over the internet really don’t do it justice. Ardua and I got about 3 hours of game time combined during PAX. We both focused on very different aspects. Of course, we both spent a generous amount of time in the...

  By Darren Henderson (DizzyPW), OnRPG Editor-in-Chief    For anyone that’s followed Red 5 Studios from the beginning, you’ll know by now they are about as unorthodox of a company as it gets, at least in the online gaming industry. So when my team was invited to sit in on an hour long panel smack in the middle of PAX East, I figured they had something important to tell us. Heck they bought a pack of over 50 members of the gaming press lunch just to keep us in our seats till the...

  By Darren Henderson (DizzyPW), OnRPG Editor-in-Chief    If there is a must-go day for PAX East, It’s without question Saturday. The cosplayers were out in force. The devs were only slightly hung over and could still coherently answer questions about their games. And the swag was flowing like milk and honey with giveaways and events going on at every corner. While I hung back to write-up our day 1 recap, Bowen and James hit the floor early to get some updated coverage on the MOBA...

We hit the ground running at 9am to bring all the coverage.Before even getting into the building you could feel the excitement in the air. An obnoxious looking...

   It’s now one hour prior to the doors opening in Boston for the 2013 PAX East Convention! I’m in the scene (DizzyPW) leading the charge with Ardua, Leliah, JamesBl0nde, and Bowen (our largest convention content team ever!).     Today is kicking off with Blizzard’s early morning press reveal and Leliah and Ardua hitting up the Indie Mega Booth to get a look at The Repopulation and plenty of other surprises that really make PAX East so unique!     Next...

ChronoBlade – Beta Impressions By Harry Ka-yan CheungOverall Graphics – 4/5 For a Facebook, browser-type game, Chronoblade presents good quality graphics that will appeal to many players. Gameplay – 4/5 The gameplay includes combos, skills, and a lot of keyboard movements which keeps players very interactive. Community – 1/5 The community is almost non-existent due to the nature of the game. Players can communicate by means of forum if players wish to. Customization – 1/5 The customization...

  Wargaming broke new ground with World of Tanks, bringing a realistic military vehicle combat experience to the MMO market. Now World of Warplanes, the second of Wargaming’s planned trilogy, seeks to emulate the popularity of its predecessor while focusing on aerial combat. While the game’s closed beta is still raging, and regular improvements being made to help polish the game for an eventual release, MMOHut had an opportunity to get a hands-on look at the title and see how it...
