I was sitting in a room of WoW players when I asked about the latest ad campaign. “Have you seen it?” I asked, “Seen it? I’m living it,” came one reply. Check out the video yourself but be aware that this is actually happening in game. As another WoWer said; this is an odd move […]

Left 4 Dead 2 boycott – the mod battle
When Valve announced Left 4 Dead 2 – amazingly – not everyone was happy. There was one group of fans who thought that it was “too soon”. They were still playing Left 4 Dead and didn’t fancy the online gamers being split between the two titles. They wanted more additions to Left 4 Dead. Whereas […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #8 World of Warcraft Troll
This must be one of my favourite masks in the entire 12 Masks of Halloween collection. The World of Warcraft troll works because it’s a good, general, halloween mask for everyone. WoW players, of course, get the inside joke and should recognise the creature. Here’s the prediction: This year World of Warcraft Halloween costumes will […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #6 Kratos
Show off your geek cred by picking a Halloween mask that enjoys an origin from outside the horror movie space. Kratos is at the centre of the God of War series; an icon of vengence and a thumping fighter. The 12 Masks of Halloween is an annual tradition here at Geek Native. There’s a new […]
Pandaren Monk kung-fu drop
The Pandaren Monk is a new pet introduced into World of War craft with Patch 3.2.2. Right now it’s a bit of a mystery; we don’t know where it drops and we don’t know much else about it other than it looks pretty cool. If anyone correctly guesses the drop location here there is a […]
Kotaku has more The Secret World teasers
The Secret World is a MMO from Funcom which looks really good. It’s set in the current day and brings the occult horrors out of the darkness and the shadows for the players to fight. RPGs like Beyond the Supernatural or perhaps a World of Darkness that White Wolf didn’t write might be a similar […]
Left 4 Dead 2 – The Dark Carnival and The Jockey
Eurogamer has some new screenshots for Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2. They’re from the third of the five campaigns in the game. Unlike Left 4 Dead these campaigns are believed to be linked together via the plot rather than standalone adventures. Eurogamer also seem to have encountered an infested which gave them a special amount […]
Webzen wins ArchLord, Codemasters looses it
It’s a bit of blow to UK gaming but Codemasters have lost the right to administer ArchLord. Wikipedia (which is never wrong, right?) says that the game was developed by NHN Games and Codemasters Online Gaming. It launched first in 2005 in NHN’s home Korea and then Codemasters followed suit in 2006 with North America […]
Outspark to run EA’s musical MMO in America
Outspark, the people behind Dance Groove Online and Secret of the Solstice, has landed themselves a decent gig with EA. That’s EA Korea. EA Korea have been running a musical MMO called “Debut” through their J2m Studio in Korea which mixes the music genre with the MMO concept. It’s been going since 2008 and will […]
EVE Online’s EBANK 1.2 trillion ISK in debt
Many EVE Online players will find that they can’t get hold of their money. I’m not an EVE player but I know it for two reasons; a) the White Wolf merger and b) the economy. The economy in EVE Online works well. You see; in a fantasy MMO players are forever running around in dungeons […]
