The horror of MMO questing


A kill quest in World of Warcraft.

After several years of killing animals, running errands, and picking up junk, I’ve decided that I hate MMO quests. I want to burn them with fire and bury them in my backyard so that neighborhood dogs can pee and have sex on top of them.

I hate completing quests. It’s mind-numbingly tedious and it’s akin to waiting in a long line for a roller coaster. You wait 2-2 ½ hours for your awesome while you slowly saunter back and forth while looking at the same people. All the while you’re confined to a small space that requires you to double back on yourself repeatedly. You’ll make idle conversation and attempt to find the silver lining of getting on the roller coaster sometime in the near feature, but it doesn’t make the time go by any faster.

If you were wanting some Dragon Age 2 DLC that continues the story of Hawke and his/her adventures in Kirkwall, then don't get too excited. The new DLC is just an assortment of items to make your journey easier.

BioWare saw it fit to continue with their item pack theme established during Mass Effect 2. Dragon Age 2's first post launch DLC is comprised of three separate item packs. The three packs are themed by class; warrior, rogue, and mage. Each pack contains several armors, weapons, and items for that class. Not only can Hawke use these items, but so can companions of the corresponding class. Some items are even tailored for certain companions...

Dragon's Dogma is one to watch in 2012


Dragon's Dogma is an action packed fantasy adventure
Fantasy settings usually aren't big on the action. The fantasy genre usually includes a lot of dice rolls and RPG elements that sometimes turn gamers off or overwhelm them. Capcom's upcoming epic Dragon's Dogma looks like it might be a bridge between fantasy and action with a little less of the same old RPG elements.

Dragon's Dogma focuses on a living world and the player character. The player will pick up companions along the way that improve their tactics through use. These party members are smart, unique, and fight independently alongside the player...

All new Dead Rising 2 incoming, features Frank West


Frank and Chuck from Dead Rising 2: Case West
Do you enjoy "what-if" stories?  Do you enjoy zombies?  Do you enjoy taking pictures of zombies?  If you answered "yes" to any of these then read on!  A love of Dead Rising and all its quirks will help, too!

Apparently, Dead Rising 2 and its DLC just wasn't enough. A new, re-imagined Dead Rising 2 is coming this Fall. It's promised as a disc-based "smarter" version that goes beyond the Director's Cut version of other Capcom games.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is stand alone game set in Fortune City. It will feature Dead Rising's protagonist instead of Chuck Greene and it will be a completely new game. Off the Record will have new psychos, new areas, and new combo weapons. It is its own game, but at what cost?

Aside from it being a new game ... << MORE >>
