300

its hard for me to find an appropriate metaphor….

lets….

watching 300 is kind of like being mauled by a bear.

It's a horribly painful experience, with a lot of blood and hair, and the whole time you just pray that its going to be over soon.

Except being mauled by a bear doesn't cost you 9 fucking euro.

White Gold

Hmmm…

Thats the best I can say about this. Ordinarily, I would be mightily impressed by a trailer for a game that looked like this. But I know from a little investigation that these are the same guys who brought us Boiling Point, which I consider to be the worst game I have ever played on any platform.

It promises a lot of the same things that boiling point did: a huge seamless world, 'different vehicles', 'strong' RPG system (whatever that means), and hundreds of NPCs to interact with. 

It also features a guy riding a shark.

No really.

Go watch it if you don't believe me…

MMORE Fun than usual

I have to confess, I've never ever played an MMORPG, or even just an MMO game. I guess I've never had the hours of time to devote to it. But if I was to give up my girlfriend and job for an online game, it might be this one

Exanimus (latin for 'lifeless') is a Zombie survival MMORPG. I only found this because the other day I was having a conversation with someone about how such a game should exist. And it turns out, it does.

A quick glance over the website suggests they're in very early stages of development, there's only a bit of concept art on there. But its still promising….

The only other MMORPG that might steal my life is the pirate one, but we shall have to see…
