Death of SWG
I’ve tried many MMORPGs in my time (ranging from the original Everquest to World of Warcraft) and while most have been amusing for a few hours, none had been able to keep my interest for very long.

When Sony Attacks
A really interesting article on joystiq about the PS3’s copy protection is available. Apparently, it’s a system to prevent used games and pirated copies from playing on the system. From the patent application: “A device and method for protection of legitimate software against used software and counterfeit software in recording media… A specific title code […]
A highly thematic game
World of Warcraft: The Board Game will be released soon, followed by the World of Warcraft Collectible Card Game. We already had a Warcraft board game and rpg, but apparently the universe changed dramatically after Warcraft 3, as a new fad swept through the citizens of the two continents: standing around and giving quests. Here’s […]
