Monsters
There’s something about this photograph that speaks to me. Okay; not just because of the two trollish monsters in it. I see those. I hope they don’t speak to me. I think it’s the black and white simplicity that appeals to me. It’s almost as if this photograph is understated which is a great juxtaposition […]
This is what a grim fairytale Halloween looks like in a MMORPG
Tera is a popular MMORPG from South Korea. It’s moving westwards and is due out in North America (En Masse Entertainment) and Europe (Frogster) in 2012. It’s an MMORPG that does not shy from the combat – in fact, players may even make use of an Xbox 360 Controller (it’s a PC game) in order […]

Heroes of Ruin walkthrough and teaser
Heroes of Ruin looks like it might be one to watch. I choose not to be alarmed by the fact that’s a game for the 3DS; after all, I can turn the 3D off (well; I could if I had a 3DS). The strength of Heroes of Ruin on the Nintendo 3DS is in the […]
