A First Look: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

KoA: Reckoning is a new action-rpg title being released across the board (Xbox, Playstation 3, and PC) that takes a little bit from several games such as Fable, Skyrim, and Dragon Age, and synthesizes them into Kingdom's of Amalur: Reckoning. Before I actually say anything about the game itself there is one detail that needs to be cleared up before anyone even tries playing the demo: It is buggy as all hell. But there is hope! A lot of people (including...

New Look

As you may have very well noticed I have changed the site quite a bit in the last 24 hours to try and clean it up and make it more accessible for people. I'm not totally done putting in all the changes since I'm a bit new at HTML editing so there will be more changes made in the coming days, but for now everything works except the navigation bar at the top that jokingly describes every category as something Fest related. So giggle at that and ignore it for now. In the future I'll probably use that bar to link to other related sites with relevant...

One of the things I've noticed from the trailer is that there appears to be a more fluid melee combat system, something that was a bit clunky...

SWTOR: Meet the Sniper (PVP)

Alright so my main character on SWTOR is a Sniper and I've really enjoyed the playstyle despite it being a bit odd for me to play a ranged class in an MMO as I am typically an assassin. But yeah, the sniper is a heavy ranged DPS class that utilizes a cover system to demolish opponents in both PvP and PvE without taking any damage, ideally. The particular specialization I chose to pursue is the Engineer, a spec that focuses on explosions and other area of effect skills (AoE). The sniper's role in PvP is definitely in the vein of covering your...

Star Wars the Old Republic: Overview

Alright so this will just be a moderately brief look at the overview of the game discussing things like various classes/roles and gameplay as well as some aspects of what makes SWTOR a good game and also some things that need touching up. I'll start with the class system. Classes: SWTOR takes a pretty typical approach to an MMO class system. You start out as a basic class and advance to one of two advanced classes at level 10. To add more depth to this fundamental system Bioware added specialization trees to each advanced class which essentially...

Break is over!

As of tomorrow I will be starting my Spring Semester of my "Junior" year of college. Should be tons of fun and I've got high hopes for both my academic success as well as being consistently posting things about various games I'm playing, have played, and am looking forward to playing. I'll try to keep it interesting and really go in depth with whatever I'm talking about which may involve multiple posts discussing one game.The first thing on my list of stuff I need to write about is the new Star Wars MMO. In case you've been living in a cave/hole/box...
