Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes is a play for free multiplayer from BioWare Mythic. It’s expected out in the autum of this year and you can sign up for beta access at Wrath of Heroes.com already. Note the term “play for free”. I suspect this means it’ll be possible to spend money in order to […]

First three PWNED clips from GamesCon 2011
This series of sponsored videos is a fantastic way to catch up, documentary style, with GamesCon 2011. They’re sponsored by EA so expect something of an EA centric approach – but we do get gamer geek goodies such as a discussion about Mass Effect 3.
Darksiders 2 looking impressive
THQ’s Darksiders 2 is looking pretty impresive. Despite some clever TV sponsorship in front of geeky TV with interesting looking ads – I never picked up Darksiders. I think it’ll be even harder to avoid the temptation of Darksiders 2. Go Death! Who would have thought we’d follow Death through the realms of angels, demons […]
Of Orcs and Men trailer
Of Orcs and Men is a roleplaying game from Cyanide Studios and Spiders (I’m sure quite a lot of people would be happy to put cyanide in with spiders; in this case, though, two different companies). The CRPG is due out on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. In the game the character is an elite […]
BioWare’s Muzyka and Zeschuk invest in Empire Avenue

Mass Effect 3: Squad Leader trailer
There’s been a few videos out to promote the highly anticipated Mass Effect 3. By “highly anticipated” I mean; we probably know geeks who’ll take the day off work when this RPG is out. This video is the “squad leader” trailer. It actually shows a combat scene that’s so good it’s hard to tell whether […]
Wizards of the Coast and Atari settle legal battle: D&D digital return to WotC
In 2007 Atari signed a 10-year deal to look after the digital rights of Dungeons & Dragons.
