This is a teaser video from the TERA MMO RPG. What strikes me straight away is the quality of the graphics. MMOs tend to be much simplier than local games simply because they need to be. MMOs have to cope with much larger worlds and the processing demands of thousands of simultaneous players. TERA is […]

Game of Thrones: Winter trailer
We’ve had teasers for Atlus’s forthcoming Game of Thrones computer RPG already – such as The Wall. This latest video from the studio is longer and is rather more of a trailer than a teaser.

How politics works in the TERA MMORPG
I’m a big fan of politics in RPGs. In some settings it’s the politics that make the game for me. Back with the other internet dinosaurs and when I had time I used to play a lot on MUSHes. This wasn’t because I was writer. As you can tell – I’m not. This was because […]

Is there a touch of Dune in Mass Effect 3: Against All Odds?
The latest Mass Effect 3 trailer reminds me, in part, of Dune. The situation seems clear. Shepard and team have to get across a battlefield in order to reach a tower. There’s just a whole host of Reaper action between him and his goal. That includes a giant walking machine of laser beam doom. “Against […]
