Diablo III – First Impressions
With the open beta now finished the release date could not come sooner. For those of you that managed to get a taste of the beta you probably feel the same way, but for those that didn't get around to playing it I'm here to help. My opinion should be taken with a pinch of salt as I haven't actually played either of the previous games. With this is mind I won’t be able to make any comparisons to the previous games. Without further delay I bring to you my impressions of Diablo III.
Midweek News – Guild Wars swapping Realms, Some DLC, Some Trailers and our Song of the Week!
Interesting news seem to be a little slow lately so I have decided (seeing as I missed last Sunday) to include MMGaming's Song of the Week in this news post. Why news has been slow I can't really say but I'm going to assume it's to do with either me not picking up on interesting stuff or that there is a sort of lull in news now that PAX East is over. Guess we just need to wait to see if it picks up again.
Video Mondaily – Let’s Play the Diablo 3 beta with ThatForrow
Why, 'tis Monday dear friends and as we all know that means that it is time for another bout of MMGaming related tomfoolery in whatever game we can find. This week's videos feature this weekend's open beta of Diablo 3 and the welcome return of ThatForrow. Actually, this allows (cunningly) me to welcome Gary aboard the MMGaming team, with college nearly done he has decided to try his hand at writing for us, so we shall see how that goes as well!
Red Alert 2 – The Last ‘Good’ Command & Conquer!
Westwood Studios is a name that RTS players of old are much more familiar with, as the studio was sucked into the EA conglomerate around 1998 and then destroyed entirely in 2003. Of course, many of the developers went on to create Petroglyph Studios, which is currently working on End of Nations (MMORTS), but they never seemed to entirely recover the magic from Westwood. Westwood Studios was best known for their work on the RTS series Command and Conquer, which was wildly popular back in the day.
Their last game in the series before EA took over was Red Alert 2 and its expansion, Yuri's Revenge. Granted there is a Red Alert 3 with an expansion as well, but it's not even worthy of the name Command and Conquer, let alone Red Alert. Anyway, I'm curious what made this game so great... please read on!
Video Mondaily – Let’s Play Cardinal Quest!
Welcome to Monday where we get to show off our video editing skills to make ourselves look awesome while playing video games! That said, I didn't do any editing this week, because I've never done any editing in my life. Soo... with -that- said, continue on to see what I've got in store for us for this beautiful start of the week!
Cardinal Quest – Indie Bundle Roguelike!
Hi everyone! Welcome back to another Friday edition of "Random Reviews with Nick." I'm beginning to wonder if I should just copyright that name or something, because I have to admit that it's kind of catchy, don't you think? Either way, we're back to our end of week review time, and I'm going to be your host again this week.
This week, I'm going to be looking at a recent addition to the indie bundle scene, the Indie Fort Bundle from Gamersgate. One of the games in that bundle is Cardinal Quest, a graphical roguelike. This is the game which is going to get our attention today... so let's get our healing potions and daggers ready, so that we can dive into our dungeoning experience!
Video Mondaily – Age of Empires Online Co-op!
Welcome to the first of many to come Video Mondaily segments, where the cast and crew of MMGaming.net attempts to bring you a video of something interesting. We attempt to try for entertaining, informative, and perhaps a bit hilarious. This week, to mark our first of this new series, Tim and I decided to sit down and try out some Age of Empires Online co-op.
