Were those zombies? Other than that, the game looked really good. (sigh) We have to wait until 2010 for the game, but it sure does look good.

I loved Knights of the Old Republic and enjoyed Knights of the Old Republic 2, and the more I see from the new Star Wars MMO The Old Republic, the more I want to play it!
The trailer blew me away, and the details from the demo thrill me!
Welcome to the first fully-voiced MMO ever, filled with BioWare-style dialog choices, including the first-ever multi-character dialog system – in other words, two characters who enter a “flashpoint,” the game’s term for cutscenes, will both be able to participate in a story- and character-advancing dialog engagement that can drastically alter the outcome and reward of a mission (Gay Gamer).
I hope the fact that the MMO will have a story will discourage many of the people who make MMOs less fun from playing.
Other tantalizing hints about which we received few details from a tight-lipped LucasArts: a light/dark path system for all characters that further enhances character progression (we saw a Sith character earn light side points for sparing an Imperial captain during a flashpoint scene) and, in true BioWare fashion, romance possibilities. No word, of course, on same-sex romance possibilities (Gay Gamer).
I can’t wait to see how this all comes together in the game. It sounds like it is going to be the Star Wars MMO I have wanted since they messed up Star Wars Galaxies again.

GeekBrief blew me away with this presentation of Microsoft’s Project Natal. I have to own this!

The Star Trek Online Official Site posted 3 gorgeous new screenshots. This is the one MMO, I cannot wait to play, and with every new image, my desire grows.
These new screens prove 2 things about this game:
- They have figured out how to make space look compelling.
- They are breaking new ground for planet-side graphics in an MMO.

I am excited to share the news that City of Heroes is going Rogue!
In the Going Rogue expansion, hero and villain characters will become immersed in the new parallel universe known as Praetoria, which is governed by Tyrant™, the evil incarnation of the game’s main protagonist, Statesman™. As gamers search for Tyrant and the rest of his Praetorian guard, implacable foes and fierce resistance will arise to face them from all sides, causing heroes and villains alike to question their loyalties.
City of Heroes Going Rogue will introduce a new alignment system that helps players explore the shades of gray that lie between good and evil. For the first time, hero characters can become villains and vice versa, enabling hero archetypes to cross over to the Rogue Isles™ and villain archetypes to experience Paragon City™. Clearly marked missions, in addition to behaviors and decisions made by the player, will move a hero’s or villain’s moral compass, which could eventually change the hero’s or villain’s alignment. Going Rogue will also introduce two primary new fictional characters representative of this alignment shift in the game’s lore: Maelstrom, a pistol-wielding hero gone rogue, and Desdemona, a demon-summoning villain who has been redeemed (NCsoft).
I can’t wait to play a mastermind in Paragon City. There are a lot of things we don’t know:
- When the expansion will be released
- How much it will cost
- How the are implementing the alignment system
- Will there be 2 Paragon Cities and 2 Rogue Islands.
- Will a rogue hero or villain at 50 unlock their respective epic classes or will they count toward their alignment?
- Will rogues be locked in the parallel world or will they be able to cross over?
I hope to have annswers to those questions soon, but it sounds interesting.

I found this video by accident while looking for a video of the Leaves’ Eyes song “Mourning Tree” to share on a forum.
This is one of my favorite songs, and I have always been surprised that more videos haven’t been made using it. I would love to see a Richard/Kahlan video, or a Daniel/Sha’re video.
This one on Sephiroth and Aerith from Final Fantasy VII is an interesting way to frame the story from Advent’s Children. After all it really is their story isn’t it.

This City of Heroes video is just too funny, but side kicks are one of the things that makes City of Heroes work so well. It allows a low level character to run around with higher level character who by making the side kick one level lower than their mentor so long as they stay close to your mentor. A brilliant idea every MMO should have.

I love the City of Heroes day jobs system. The ability to gain bonuses while offline is a great thing. I only wish they incorporated day jobs into the storylines more. The video is great though.

City of Heroes is my favorite MMO right now, and this ad for their new Mac version of the game is well done and funny. I really makes you wonder how the heroes get through the day.

City of Heroes has started getting us excited about Issue 14, the Mission Architect which will allow players to create missions and storylines of their own and earn rewards based on the participation of other players.
You can read the early details here. I cannot wait to play around with the Mission Architect. I already have a bunch of ideas.
