Black Prophecy is a SciFi space shooter alot like EVE but way more action with emthysis to get you right inot the fight and have control of your ship. This is a must try game and is now shooting to get beta players in the U.S. So sign up and get in line to give this baby a try!


Edit: So I gave Black Prophecy a try today and it was simply amazing.  The cut scenes were great and the action was awesome!  The controls to the space craft were simply astonishing.  I could move back and forth with ease it was designed perfectly with fluid motion.  I was very impressed.  I think this game is going to be a very big hit and everyone should give it a try!

Beta Beware!

Several scammer have been sending out false beta invites to suspecting want to be beta testers for Star Wars: The Old Republic.  Being that the game has a huge following it's not hard to see this happening.  Bioware has recently put out a warning to all the fans about there beta invites:

"If you are invited to the real Game Testing Program, you will receive an e-mail with instructions from no-reply@bioware.swtor.com. Any other e-mail address claiming to offer an invitation is likely to be a scam. If you receive an e-mail and are in doubt or are concerned about its validity, please forward your concerns to bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com. If you do receive a genuine testing invitation from us, you will also be able to view the invitation and testing information at www.swtor.com/tester."

Make sure to be diligently checking your e-mails properly and don't fall to the scams.  E-mail phishing is a big issue and it can ruin allot more then just a beta invite!  So be safe and good luck!

Japan Relief!

Global Agenda

Global Agenda is giving 100% of there proceeds from Global Agenda Purchases to American Red Cross's Japan Relief!  Also for 10$ that's practically a steal for such a great game.  The best part is that this MMO has NO monthly fees it's a great play and worth the buy.  Support the relief!

Flash Point Show n' Tell

The latest Developer walk through for Star Wars: The Old Republic show a in depth look at one of there flash points.  I have to say I'm mighty impressed and frankly I'm seriously excited for it's release.  It looks challenging yet doable and very fun.  The only thing I found slightly odd was, why does the Jedi have to pull items out of the ground?  They already have ducking spots for smugglers so they should have items lying around to be thrown.  But that's a matter of opinion I guess.

Autobots Roll Out!

Not too much information is released on a New Transformers MMO being designed  right now but it will be developed by Jagex the company that has produced the much loved title Runescape.  It's projected to be released sometime in 2012!  Only time will tell whether this will be a success or not.

Guilds for the ready!

Star Wars: The Old Republic has a guild recruiting page set up for recruiting before release!  Helping to get the community assembled even before we play.  Bioware has seen the community and they are trying everything they can to get us in before the game becomes ready.

I have already set up a guild name IAMMMOGAMER in case any of you readers out there are willing to. Show your pride!  It's set up for the Empire side of the house considering I plan on being a Bounty Hunter from the start.  Go BOBAFETT :) So get in there and register your allegiance!

Frak! I've been hit!

Battlestar Galactica is a new MMO created by SyFy.  It's a browser based game and it's run surprisingly well.  Though I haven't seem to get any interest into it.  I haven't ever been much for flying in space.  You do get your own avatar and depending on which route you go Cylon or Human you still get to walk around and everything.  Being in a Raptor is pretty cool and the game play plays alot like EVE.  Though I think it's a little more involving. It's still in Beta and I don't think it's a huge hit so it might be a bad idea if you're looking for a crowd, but if you like Battlestar and you want to try something new this is certainly the way to do it and it's free!

Space for life!

Currently Bungie is working with Activision to make an unknown MMO.  Rumors and on the worst terms claim it'll be called "Destiny".  Personally I think we'll prolly see many changes on this as the time passes but what I do know is that it'll be a SciFi themed shooter.  What I keep hearing is that it's going to be WoW in space.  Now this kinda upsets me because the description isn't even close.  It's supposed to be designed after an amazing match system for PvP.  Now I'm no expert but if I was to compare it to anything I would compare it to Global Agenda. 

Global Agenda is all PvP (yes it has PVE but it doesn't count). It could use some improvements but it's free lol.  If I happen to see any concrete news on this topic be sure to hear it from me.

Edit: Massively reported today that Bungie came out and said that the MMO rumor isn't true.  They aren't making an MMO at all! Well this comes to a big disappointment to all those Halo fans out there but there are plenty of other opportunities out there.  

YEAH! Bounty Hunters!

So I've been a huge fan of Boba Fett ever since I can remember.  Thinking of him as thee ultimate B.A.  Still think that to this day.  Well the Old Republic has allowed IGN to release this new videos for more of the Bounty Hunter class.  I definitely have to say I'm even more excited then I was before.

With this being in the making for YEARS it's been highly anticipated by all.  We can only hope it will be coming out soon.  They say it'll be out this year but anything could happen.  I would like to keep a positive mind though and keep my thoughts to it's release.  

MMO For Your Mobile

SpaceTime Studios is the leader in MMO gaming on your mobile phones.  Currently out is Pocket Legends which is a pretty neat designed MMO based off of furry animals in your typical classes.  The game is free to play and has a cash shop for items.  There's isn't too many option for the game play and it's created to be relatively simple but it has a really nice concept and it run great on the Droid.

In the future SpaceTime Studios has a SciFi game planned called Blackstar.  Very little details are out on it but you can sign up at there website for more news.  It should be a pretty cool game and I'm looking forward to seeing what they can come up with.

Both these games are for the Ipad, Iphone and Android systems.

Nuked Out!

Fallout Online a really good idea but will it pass the test of the fallout series we have grown to love?  I wish I knew.  The tormenting tiny email hints they send seem to give me no hope as to what is to come.  I want to see footage and a site full of material!  So the big question is what's the big secret?  Looking through the email links it seems to have some pretty odd ideas for weapons.  One looks like it's almost from Gears of War.  Interplay is laid claim that they will indeed start the beta tests in the early 2012 and have the game out my the second half of 2012. (By Eurogamer)  Will it be worth it?  We will see!

Global Agenda a monster of SciFi

There are very few choices in the MMO for a truely good MMO.  Global Agenda takes the award for best in my book.  Although if you look at the traditional ideas of MMO it doesn't quite fit the build.  It's doesn't have a very extensive PVE element to it but it is there.  I personally love this game for it's elaborate PvP system.  It's one of the most exciting times I've had ever in PvP.  It has a perfect blend of swords and guns and can tailor to any play style.  There is flying with jetpacks which also adds an addition of fun to the mix.

Many of the players in game are pretty cool and are willing to work with you and have fun and unlike WoW you can actually finish a group PVE mission without worrying if people are going to continuously drop out.  Like I said though this games many goal is the PvP element.  Gear in the game is mainly just for show.  You could literally run around naked and be a great player.  The good thing about this system is that you can be how you want to be.  In order to have better stats you need to use these armor spheres and get good stats on your equipment.  Which is perfectly fine with me :) the fast paced game play reminds me of the good old days of Quake and Unreal Tournament.

There are four classes.  Recon, Robotics, Medic, and Assault.  Recon is your rogue based class.  Which is fast paced and your main duty is to be a sneaking assassin.  Robotics is my favorite class.  You run around making turrets, medical stations, and many other mechanics so that you can buff and save your team.  Basically your pet based class but better.  Though the job is very difficult and keeping your turrets alive can be one of the most challenging things around.  Medics job is pretty obvious but unlike the ideas of priests and all the other healing mechanics out there medic is actually fun.  You go around "shooting" your team mates to keep them alive while healing yourself in the process.  This is an important job and a great combination with our next class the Assault.  Assault is your equivalent to a tank.  Running around with heavy guns and blasting everything in sight.  A very important class for defending.  All classes can be made and they all share the loot and money under one name.  The only loot they don't share is the class specifics.  I actually find this kinda nice.

Agencies are your equivalent to guilds.  They lead you to be able to do AvA which is short for Agency vs Agency.  You have a Hex map which you PvP battle other Agencies for control and for the ultimate title of best Agency.

Higher up items in the game are pretty expensive and it's highly recommended you pay for a booster.  It's worth the money and it doubles everything you need.  it makes leveling alot faster and free tokens.  Basically its like pay a month to month, but on your time.

Ultimately if you love PvP and SciFi this is your game!  See you in game.
