Chris Roberts is back

And he gets what is wrong with gaming theses days:

“In recent years, game designers have stopped innovating and pushing the boundaries of what you can do in this genre,” says Roberts. “I plan on bringing that kind of development mentality back into PC gaming and space sims in particular. "

Remebering ANV

I haven't said much about Guildwars 2 since its release but the near 500 hours I have put in speaks for itself. This is the most enjoyable game I have brought in a long time and partly due to the fantastic people of ANV.

Sadly ANV has moved realms and I went with them. So I decided to post some pictures of our adventures. In reality nothing has changed, we are still the same group of players but just under a new name on a new realm but I like to remeber where we have come from.

We are many.

Under the leadership of Nomnomnomnom & Silborn ( not shown )

Doing great things.

Destroyers of siege.

The bane of trebuchet.

The chaos of the storm.

Protectors of Dolyaks.

and the taimers of the zerg.

I just can't get enough of World v World PVP :)

Now its time to make a video of the antics of the new guild.

Mount & Blade 2

Is coming:


And the trailer, shows nothing but I am still excited.  It must be about time I load the game up and put another 30 hours into my kingdom.

Bioware founders retire

It happens to everyone ( who sign up with EA ) sooner or later.

"This has been an incredibly difficult decision to make; after thinking about it for many months, I made the decision to retire from videogames back in early April 2012 -- at that time I provided six months' notice to EA, to help enable a solid transition for my teams at BioWare,"

Better start the counter down for them doing a Kickstarter project. They can't do Baldors Gate, someone else already beat them to it.

Dragon Age III Inquisition Announced

NO

NO

NO

NO

Dragon age 2 is one of the worst games I have ever played and I stopped buying Bioware games that day. The very fact they are calling it Inquisition is just a excuse to put a court room scene into the game, like every other game they have done.   

FTL Released

Is it any good ?

Well I have been playing it all day, which is rare. Its keeped me from playing Guildwars 2, so it is good.

City of Hero's protests

In case you missed it, NCSoft is going to shut down City of Hero's, turns out this made a lot of people unhappy and they started protesting today:

3,000 people spread over 32 instances.

This shutdown seems as crazy as the Starwars Galaxies closure ( wonder what was more profitable lucsarts, SWG or ToR ).

Anyway I hope they can make the NCSoft executives realise that the game is still popular.
