While the ship's nacelles may be incorrect for Trek lore, we don't know if they also angle down for warp flight.
You guys are crazy though about the fake image. The 'semicircles' and other weird things are called 'artifacts'. Whenever you reduce t…
While this is an MMO site, God of War was great mature game which had both definitions of 'mature'. It had topless women in a mini game, and a mature story about the main character's failings as a family man and his deep guilt for what happened to t…
The original makers of NWN was Bioware. Also makers of such awesomeness as Baldurs Gate, Knights of the Old Republic and the soon to be awesome Mass Effect. What Bioware gets right in games is character development and story. They are said to be mak…
I found this review after seeing the Halo 3 one. I loved the "NPCs being pants-on-head retarded" comment.
So of course you gotta watch all the other reviews such as Orange Box, Tomb Raider, Peggle and Tabula Rasa. Every one was spot on. Though I h…
These "Beyond" pieces are great and illustrate how the MMO's can improve in ways they seldom do. We all play offline games like Final Fantasy, Halo or Resident Evil and they all bring exciting mechanics the MMO's don't include.
You are spot on wit…

Your 'guess' is correct. In fact, I did say that it was Beta where I had these issues. Are all of the translations, …
While the SGC may want its team members well equiped, it is still the military and the armory just isn't a free-for-all. A private or new recruit may not 'rate' a p90. They may just get pistols or standard assault rifles or submachine guns. Only wit…
There doesn't have to be money in the game like you know it. Dollars and Credits will not work in this setting. Look at City of Heroes or what Star Trek plans on using. CoH has influence which can be cashed in to 'buy' items. Star Trek also will use…
I know that there will be squad based tasctics and combat, but what would make me want to play is having Scientists and Archeologists have equal importance to the game beyond crafting. Half the original team were soldiers but the other half were thi…
Free MMO's certainly don't have the same production values of the biggies we all vote for and complain about on these boards, but what they do have is large amounts of players that do not have a credit card. That mean's under 18 players. These games…
Creating races in a 3d game is more advanced than a text based one. I understand why there is a limit on they races they included. I would like to see the cat people come together though.
Can't wait to see part 3 of their class features. Cleric, …
Good to see some more news on this game.
As for the races, I think there is human, dwarf, elf and cat people. The cat people, however, are said to not be in launch (whenever that is). They are going to add more human subraces like humans of the n…
The swg system was really great. You can have pistol skills and music skill with a bit of cooking. The major problem with that system however were the quests/missions. The quests were ONLY completable if you had fighting skills. If you chose to be a…
Crafting is easy enough, you choose a profesion which gives you 3 skills. You are also allowed to change proffessions any time. If your new profession has a skill youve already leveled up with, you keep that xp. You are given fair warning though by …
That article was spot on.
I will say though that crafting and skills were the best from any game out there, but there was nothing to do. There was no 'Star' nor 'Wars' about the game for at least a year. The game focused on hunting animals and ri…
Players love IPs and want to see the main characters but make their own stories.
LotRO has done a good job of putting the player on their own story while at the same time, helping Frodo and the Fellowship. There are other stories to tell in Middl…
Like another post pointed out, pen and paper rpgs have delt with perma-death for a very long time. Only instead of a computer controlling your fate, a GM does.
When a player dies a few things can happen:
1) Resurect/heal/coma and come back at …
So the part wher ethe link says 'click here to read more' goes to the cityofheroes.com main page, but there is no more info about ish 9. I would like to know what else in ish 9 besides invetions. Any more news on the rockets or space zone ?
