It's the end of the World of Warcraft as we know it....

World of Warcraft (WoW) is currently celebrating it's 6th year and 3rd add-on. If you haven't started playing this then there is no better time. Blizzard have taken what they have learned over the past 4-5 years when they implemented both of the previous add-ons (Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King), and used this information to go back to the original game and drastically change not only the fundaments of the gameplay, but the actual world itself.

Dragon Age II Demo Review - First Impressions

The eagerly awaited sequel to Bioware's 2010 RPG extravaganza 'Dragon Age: Origins' is soon to hit the shelves. The imaginatively titled Dragon Age II is set after the events in Dragon Age: Origins and Awakening and follows the exploits of a young adventurer called Hawke from refugee to Champion. Saving the world, destroying the bad nasty's and getting the girl (or boy). As a prelude to the game's release (March 8th North America, March 11th Europe) Bioware have released a nice little playable demo to show you a small glimpse of what Dragon Age II has to offer. I downloaded the PC version, although xBox 360 and PS3 versions are available. Click Here To Read The Full Review

Champions Online Free Version - Super Price, Above-Average Game

In Champions Online you create your own lycra-bound (or not) superhero, complete with a myriad of superpowers, and taking on all manner of villainous scum and general criminal lowlife. It's also another example of a large well established MMO (massively multiplayer online game) releasing a free-to-play version of its core game with a sort of 'try-before-you-buy' feel. Allowing the players to experience enough of the content to encourage them to fork our a monthly fee for the whole game. Click Here To Read The Full Review

Fallout: New Vegas - Welcome to Fabulous New Vegas

Fall-Out: New Vegas is the sequel to the Bethesda Studios (the same guys and gals who brought us the Elder Scrolls series) 2008 Best Seller 'Fall Out 3'. Although, maybe 'sequel' is not quite the right term as though it is undoubtedly the same apocalyptic wastes of the US set four years after the Fall-Out 3 storyline, it does feature all new characters and is set in an entirely new city; Las Vegas or 'New Vegas' as it is now named.

The Mojave wastes of New Vegas are not as devastated as the Capital Wastes of Fall-Out 3, many of the buildings are still standing, especially when you get to the heart of New Vegas which still has it's own version of the golden strip glittering away. However, this meant that the whole area is rife with gang warfare and mafia-esque gangland bosses vying for power. Click Here To Read The Full Review

Bloodbowl for the PC: A Great Conversion

When I was younger I remember playing the 'Games Workshop' Blood-bowl board game, and I loved it. The simple approach and bloodthirsty game-play, plus the fact that a game could be played within around an hour made it a firm favourite. So, now around ten years later, I was pleased and a little curious to discover that a PC game of Blood-bowl was in the shops. I took the gamble and shelled out the relatively small amount of cash, and installed it. I was not disappointed, the game-play is exactly the same as I remember the board game as well as having the added bonus of including a real-time version of the game, which is a nice if not more tense approach to the game-play.

Everquest 2: Extended Edition - The best things in life are free-to-play

Another one of the defining MMO's that, like ' World of Warcraft', has stood the test of time. When Warcraft and ' Everquest 2' came out over 6 years ago, bearing in mind that there was only 2-3 weeks between them, There was a Blur / Oasis type battle going on between them. Game fans were arguing over which of the two new MMO's was going to get their money. ' Everquest 2', like ' World of Warcraft', has had a lot of time and money to focus on the game. They fixed everything they didn't like, kept what they did like, added numerous add-ons (I think we're at the 8-9 mark now) and make sure that the game is as stable and as enjoyable as possible for as many people... which in my mind, they have.

A Brief Introduction To The Warcraft Classes Part 1 - Deathknight, Druid and Hunter

Firstly, I should get the caveat out of the way that I have not played every character to level 85, so apologies If I have missed anything out. Also I am not a PvP player, so any PvP related information will also be rather thin on the ground, if any there at all. What I will give you is a brief run down of all the different character classes that you can play in World of Warcraft, explaining the more impressive aspects of each class. So without further ado...
