Everyone has a fighting chance
Borderlands is one of those games that’s just begging for a full-on MMO treatment. I don’t know if we’ll ever get one, but hey at least China will. Essentially Diablo with guns, and showcasing enough character and class to deserve its own Telltale Games adventure series, Borderlands has been played and replayed by many of us here at MMORPG.com since the first game was released years ago.
Hey there MMORPG fans, Terry here, coming at you with a review of Neverwinter Nights on the X-BONE. Full disclosure, I have a couple of hundred hours logged into the PC version of the game, so there is not a lot here that surprised me, as far as gameplay and plot goes, but that’s really a GOOD thing, because it means that the ‘port to Xbox was done right!
Last week I had a good time explaining my extreme dislike for esports. Granted, I do not dislike those who enjoy esports just like I do not dislike the guy up the street who worships – almost literally – at the church of football. But, the organization and big money that esports really is doesn’t toot my horn. With enough money and push you could make professional nose picking a sport and people would probably dig it, so I just don’t see the value.
Fans of Forsaken World will be pleased to hear that Fedeen Games is bringing the MMO to both iOS and Android devices in the near future.

Buy-to-play MMOs are becoming more and more popular around the industry. It’s clear that free-to-play games are expanding and their becoming more and more popular, but they’re not the only alternative to subscription based games.

Every game, no matter how successful, will always be missing something players want. Whether it be a feature from a previous game in the franchise, or a highly demanded map on the forums. That’s what’s so special about expansions and sequels. They can expand the games experience by adding in these missing features. But we don’t always get what we want, and this seems to hold true in HoT, as 4 very popular wishes among players will once again be absent.
This week we have a look-see at how the WoW Token is doing so far and I offer my opinion on the first two wings of the Blackrock Mountain Adventure.
Descent: Underground is funded, but the last few hours of the campaign says a lot about the fans and the nature of the project. Red Thomas takes a quick look as the team races to the finish line and explores some of the deeper meaning behind the situation.
