Dragonica Review

So Dragonica then. A distinctly far eastern looking fantasy 2.5D MMORPG.

It is all fairly standard starting out, choose from one of four classes, two are melee and two are ranged, add a bit of hair and face customisation and away you go.

Why No New Videos?

You may be wondering why there haven’t been any new continue videos for the last couple of months. Well, I’ve been a bit busy going to Japan and moving house plus I’m working on a funky new video project for the site which I hope to pilot in the next couple of weeks. Until then you’re going to have to put up with my written ramblings and the occasional silly Photoshop picture.

Hells Bells

South Korea publisher HanbitSoft Inc. has acquired the worldwide rights to distribute online RPG Hellgate clearing the way for it to re-open in the US and Europe sometime in 2011 after the Korean and Chinese versions go live this year.

Originally called Hellgate: London and developed by two former Blizzard bods, the game will be overhauled and released in a free to play version as Hellgate: Resurrection.

According to the press release HanbitSoft is all very excited about it.

Avalon Heroes Beta

Excited about the big new beta starting today? No, not Star Trek Online’s open beta. I meant the new Korean MMORPG of course. Crazy I know, a new free to play Korean MMORPG, could you imagine such a thing? Anyway I digress, the beta for Avalon Heroes is available through the European free to play portal alaplaya as you finish reading this.

Recession or Transition?

Once again it is time for me to link you to another interesting editorial from Rob Fahey at GamesIndustry.biz. This time he covers the high street sales fall in the Christmas period and the increasing prominence of internet shopping and digital download.

New Planet Discovered

Space, the final frontier, is expanding. Well specifically ROSE Online’s version of space with the ‘discovery’ of a new planet called Orlo. Judging by the press release its all very exciting as the word Orlo is often followed by an exclamation mark. Expect all the standard expansion trimmings like increased level caps, shiny new items and that sort of thing.

Welcome 2010

Hello and welcome to 2010.

Apologies for the lack of updates since November. I’ve been busy moving house and having no internet, but as you might have guessed I am now reconnected and ready to pump out more random gaming rubbish for your reading pleasure.

Yipee!
