<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/assault-on-balaurea">Assault on Balaurea</a> has been a part of <a href="http://na.aiononline.com/"><em>Aion</em></a> for nearly two months now. Are you getting bored yet? If you feel like you've done all of the new content so much that it's a snooze, get ready for a new challenge.<br />
<br />
Beshmundir Temple is going into hard mode. <a href="http://na.aiononline.com/"><em>Aion</em></a> developers have been hard at work on this for a long time, and they've prepared a huge guide for the <a href="http://powerwiki.na.aiononline.com/aion/">PowerWiki</a>. You'll find advice, walkthroughs, details on the named bosses, and much more.<br />
<br />
The guide will be released next week, but Massively got an exclusive look at it ahead of time. We've formatted it all up into a handy overview for you, so follow along after the jump for a look at what Beshmundir Temple hard mode has to offer!<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/11/05/exclusive-aions-beshmundir-temple-goes-hard-mode/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Exclusive: Aion's Beshmundir Temple goes hard mode</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/11/05/exclusive-aions-beshmundir-temple-goes-hard-mode/">Exclusive: Aion's Beshmundir Temple goes hard mode</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 05 Nov 2010 11:00:00 EST.

It's been a long time coming, but we've finally got a good look at early alpha footage of <a href="http://universe.lego.com"><em>LEGO Universe</em></a> thanks to CES10. <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com">Gametrailers</a> has a four part video of a developer walkthrough given by <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/NetDevil">NetDevil's</a> Scott Brown, and boy is it ever full of multicolored brick-y goodness.<br />
<br />
<span style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 7px;"><script> digg_url = 'http://digg.com/playable_web_games/Great_New_LEGO_Universe_Developer_Walkthrough_footage_Vids'; </script> <script src=" http://digg.com/api/diggthis.js"></script></span>We're impressed by how much this game looks similar to its console brethren, especially where action and platforming elements are concerned. Of course, it wouldn't be an MMO without social elements, some of which we get to see here. More importantly, we get a look at how the developers are handling building with LEGOs in-game. The game simulates a kind of personal bubble around the player's avatar, which is strikingly similar to the metaphorical one all kids experience when sitting on the floor with a big pile of the toys. Hm, we're pretty sure NetDevil is on the right course with this one.<br />
<br />

If nearly 20 minutes of <a href="http://www.swtor.com" style="font-style: italic;">Star Wars: The Old Republic</a> gameplay footage narrated by <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/BioWare/">BioWare</a> developers themselves is the kind of thing you get excited about, then today is a very exciting day for the both of us.<br /><br />IGN is <a href="http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20090819_001?sourceid=ea4786">hosting the video</a> that's so huge it comes in four parts. Here's where it gets awesome: It'll show you lengthy gameplay for the Bounty Hunter, Smuggler and Sith Warrior classes in addition to some of the game's planets. Plus, BioWare gives you something of a director's commentary of what's happening with each of the classes. In effect, it's almost pure nerdnip.<br /><br />Even at almost 20 minutes long, we found ourselves feeling like it all went by far too quickly and there's a definite possibility we may re-watch it again. That seems like a good sign of things to come, at least for BioWare and not so much for our social lives. Check out all four videos after the break.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/25/nearly-20min-worth-of-swtor-gameplay-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Nearly 20min worth of SWTOR gameplay video</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/25/nearly-20min-worth-of-swtor-gameplay-video/">Nearly 20min worth of SWTOR gameplay video</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:30:00 EST.

<br />With its June release nearing and beta even closer than that, <em><a href="http://www.jumpgateevolution.com">Jumpgate Evolution</a></em> was looking pretty hot at GDC09 this week -- although that may have something to do with the game running on three monitors.<br /><br />Much of the information in the video isn't entirely new, aside from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/03/16/massively-speaks-at-length-with-jumpgate-evolutions-hermann-pet/">the discussion of open PvP</a> which seems to involve the building and defending/attacking of space stations. Beyond that, we get a very close look at the sexy UI that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/NetDevil/">NetDevil</a> has put together. Also, have we mentioned that this game looks downright gorgeous?<br /><br />We're pretty sure that we've mentioned that at least five or twenty times.
