I wish there was a way for me to put myself in the shoes of people that count Vanguard as a good game. It looks, feels and plays like the game w/ 1 year technical development it is. I extensively betaed the game and then tried it a few more times ov…

round level 17, the game becomes progessively more and more challenging. Many quest are nearly impossible to complete at the level you are allowed to pick them up. Since they take you into solo instances, there isn't much you can do. The dungeons ar…
This is just another hub based, instanced co-op rpg. I wouldn't say it was an MMO at all. I don't think GW2 is MMO either, but it is 10x the MMO this is.
This opinon piece squarely delineates why MMOs are failing right and left. For the past ten years, almost every designer has caved to consumer pressure to make all content attainable quite quickly after release. There's an truism these whiney gamers…

These five topics are the most important aspects of an MMO to people that already fans of the genre. That is like saying representation, abstraction, form and color are dead horses in the art world. It is actually the opposite of what you imply by t…
Play Glitch for a while (www.glitch.com). It is a casual browser game, but it does a lot to promote player interaction and community, something I haven't seen any MMOs really design for in the past 7 or 8 years. It is free to play with almost no res…
This is the best game I have played in a very, very long time. Maybe since games like zork, pac man and super mario brothers, even. Of all the MMO style games in the past 7 or 8 years, this does the best job fostering a community and cooperation. by…
Glitch is awesome. I was talking to a friend about it the other day and we both agreed that it was fun to just be logged into the game, not even playing. I also really enjoy that it actually encourages working together and being social. I'm amazed t…
