Community Corner: MMO’s Going F2P

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Trish Bennon

With intense competition pressed upon massively multiplayer online games by the explosion of the casual gaming market, developers are re-evaluating their businesses models to maintain not only their competitive edge but their overall player base. In 2010 Turbine tossed out subscriptions for Lord of the Rings Online and replaced it with a free to play (F2P) model.  Two years later, Sony Online adopted the F2P experience for both Everquest and Star Wars Galaxies.  On June 12th, Trion Worlds will be the latest developer to climb aboard the F2P train. Historically, this shift has proven extremely profitable for developers.  The question

Fable Anniversary Announced For Holiday Season 2013

Posted on June 4, 2013 by Joshua Rust

Probably one of my favorite Microsoft exclusive franchises ever is Fable. I know that many fans of the original game weren’t as pleased with the two sequels, a Kinect game, and Peter Molyneux’s “promises”. Regardless of that, the first Fable is a classic…a Halo in it’s own right. Nothing pleases me more to report that Lionhead Studios and Microsoft have finally decided to re-release it in HD on the Xbox 360 this winter. This new re-release, titled Fable Anniversary, will feature overhauled graphics, achievements (yay!), an all new interface, “near” instant loading times, a new save system, and even leaderboards

Ready For A Beginners Lesson On BandFuse: Rock Legends?

Posted on June 3, 2013 by Joshua Rust

Everyone has got to start somewhere. My personal favorite Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge) and guys like Slash, Dave Grohl, and Kirk Hammett all had to start somewhere. How? By picking up a guitar for the first time. Me, I’m a novice guitarist – I know the basics, but really haven’t tried to dedicate myself to taking it to the next level. BandFuse: Rock Legends caters to all: newcomers, beginners, and experts. Branching off from what Rock Band started, Bandfuse is taking the same route that Rocksmith did but it seems to me this game will be a lot easier to learn
