The Game Archaeologist answers Asheron's Call 2: The community
Time machines are expensive, and with gas the price it is today, it's not always viable to fuel up your DeLorean and travel back to the early 2000s just to check out some of those long-gone MMOs. Fortunately, jawing about them with former players and developers is the next best method of ...
DDO prepares us for Update 11 with a new catch-up trailer
This year was supposed to be the year of the MMO, right? We did have a couple of decent MMOs make an appearance earlier this year, but the summer has been kind of dry. You need something to occupy your time, so what are you going to do? Turbine Entertainment would like to suggest that you play ...

The Road to Mordor: A year in Middle-earth
What a difference a year makes, eh? One year ago, and you didn't have to put up with me yammering at you every Friday like a hyperactive badger with a personality disorder.

Schrodinger's Gossip Girl: It's dead but it's still alive
It's been a long run for the Gossip Girl simulation on Second Life, two years in the making actually, but all good things must come to an end.
