Wizard 101’s Sorcery Stones on iPhone

February 17, 2010 1 Comment

If you’ve ever played Wizard 101, chances are that you’ve played one of the most addicting minigames online. Sorcery Stones is a tile match game similar to Bejeweled but unlike the latter, you can only move tiles laterally and you don’t necessarily have to make a match when you move a tile.  In Wizard 101, playing minigames hastens... [Read more]

Last week, Funcom silently launched a website featuring one of the locations in the game, only giving out clues to the fans who have been following the game.

Sims 3 World Adventures Can’t Take Off

January 24, 2010 No Comments

It’s been a couple of months since EA released the first expansion pack for the Sims 3 so you’d think they would have ironed out the kinks by now. Well guess again. I bought a copy last weekend because I was getting a little bored with Riverview and its inhabitants.  Mind you, I actually did a little research on it before I bought it and,... [Read more]

Dragon Age Origins Over Achiever

November 24, 2009 4 Comments

So I finished playing Dragon Age Origins twice over and I’m still not done. Why? Because there are 25 blanks in my Achievement List! I know I’m being obsessive but I can’t help it. Actually I’m not so sure I’ll have the patience to play through all the different classes just to get the last 7 or so but I’m currently... [Read more]

Dragon Age Origins: Oh Alistair!

November 16, 2009 1 Comment

For the past ten days or so, I have been obsessively playing Bioware’s latest role-playing game Dragon Age: Origins. Although my obsession with any good game is nothing new, there’s something about DA:O that drove me to blog about it today. But let me start from the beginning. DA:O is set in a fantasy world where evil beings known as darkspawn... [Read more]

Will Someone Fix My Spam Plz

October 15, 2009 1 Comment

Seriously.  This is my fourth week playing Aion and at first, gold (or kinah in this case) spammers were a minor annoyance.  Within a week, NCSoft had put in a quick fix so all you had to do was right-click on a spammer’s name in chat and that brought up an option to block that person so you wouldn’t see any messages from him anymore.... [Read more]

Brainssssss….

Last weekend, Steam was running a half-price sale on Left 4 Dead so my gaming buddies were on my case to “get it, get it, get it”. So I finally gave in. Since everyone who has ever played the game only has good things to say about it, I figured it was a sound decision. And it was! In L4D, four characters – Bill, Francis, Louis and... [Read more]

First Honorable Kill

February 10, 2009 5 Comments

Like I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been playing a Death Knight on a PvP server with some friends, and although I’ve been taking it easy, my DK reached level 60 without too much trouble. Despite the server tag, I haven’t seen much PvP action either and I don’t even want to count the cowardly way Alliance players on my... [Read more]

I had been counting the days till February 20, the (original) release date for the Sims 3, and getting really excited about it and was going to put a countdown on my blog when… guess what? EA announced that the release date was being pushed back to June 2! Well, I for one would rather wait a few months than get a buggy game tomorrow but this... [Read more]

Look Ma, I’m on a PvP Server!

February 1, 2009 3 Comments

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been drifting from guild to guild on my main character in World of Warcraft, trying to find one that suits my casual playing style. So it’s been like a search for the Holy Grail and I was on the verge of canceling my account when someone posted on a forum I read regularly that a bunch of them had set up... [Read more]

My favorite MMO company Flying Lab Software, makers of Pirates of the Burning Sea, went on a media blitz yesterday, announcing the launch of its Casual Games division. According to Game Daily, FLS will soon officially announce plans for a casual MMO title. So this was the secret project! I was in Seattle for Penny Arcade Expo last summer and a bunch... [Read more]
