I’ve been playing Battlefield 3 recently and despite being very robust and entertaining game, it is not without its faults. These fall into two categories. The first being player based issues and the latter a multitude of technical bugs both large and small. Thankfully DICE released last week a list of fixes that will be coming in [...]

To Dunland
From Mirkwood to Dunland I still had the epic quest to conclude. While I could not finish all the Preludes from Mirkwood (some of them are group quests I didn’t try to complete yet), I decided to grab the Epic quest about the gathering of the Rangers t…

Wet Fish and Clapperboards: Tom Francis’ Gunpoint
It’s an established fact that game sound effects will within seconds irretrievably lodge themselves in your long term memory. To this day I giggle to myself when yet another low-budget sci-fi series uses the door-opening sound from Doom, and I can barely get through a day without hearing at least one dying Sectoid from the [...]

To Boldly Go
Captain’s log: Stardate, erm, one. These are the voyages of the USS Cold Front, so named for her habit of unpleasantly sweeping in from the north and bringing everyone’s mood down. Her continuing mission; to explore the strange new worlds of the now free-to-play MMO, Star Trek Online. I’ll be seeking out new life and [...]

SWTOR Exit Survey
My SWTOR account is on the way out. I decided not to resubscribe, but I have no doubt that I may eventually go back. Give the game a year or so, maybe less, and it may be worth the price of the subscription. Since BioWare didn’t have a very robust comment system upon cancellation, I [...]
Thank you for reading SWTOR Exit Survey, a post from Professor Beej.

Urugarth Run – Khazad Guard Style
It been Half Term Hols, one of our younger members, Skarvi, had a concerted effort to level his Dwarf (obviously!) Champion, getting from about 48-49 in a very short time. So we decided to give him a helping hand with getting his Class Quest Items, and had a night in Urugarth. We came in on [...]

We Want More Beards!
With Turbines announcements of armour reaching the Store, and the whole ants nest that ensued on the forums, it got me thinking of what I actually use the store for, and what I would willingly pay hard earned cash for to enhance my game play. I have bought a few cosmetics in there, when they [...]

Kinect Star Wars Trailers
Here are the latest trailers for the Kinect Star Wars Game, which is due out in April for Xbox 360. If only the games were as innovative and entertaining as the advertisements. In fact, if only some of the movies were as creative as the advertisements. Mind you, it’s nice to see Clint [...]

Skirmish Soldiers and Companions
In the next LOTRO update, players will be able to summon their Skirmish Soldiers to help them as they progress through the game. Allowing access to this facility outside of a skirmish itself, is seen by many as Turbine trying to compete with SWTOR and other games. I personally welcome this change, although some parties [...]

Mass Effect 3 Demo
Like many people, I was eagerly awaiting the release of the Mass Effect 3 demo today. However, the PC version did not arrive on Origin until 18:00 GMT. Xbox gamers got their mitts on the demo at 10:00 GMT, a full eight hours earlier. But then again the games biggest market is the console platforms [...]

Misc MMO Thoughts
Lately, my thoughts on gaming (and MMOs in general) have been numerous and scattered. So here they are in a bulleted list! It took BioWare until this week to fix my bugged class quest. After grinding the last 10 levels out sans the Inquisitor story, I don’t feel compelled to go back. Thanks for fixing [...]

Dirty Harry – The Lost Game
The more I think about this “lost” game, the more I want to weep. It has awesome written all over it. Well potentially. Okay, at least conceptually. But like whether Kurt Russell survived in the end of The Thing (not a spoiler by the way, as you should have seen it by now), we will [...]

Let’s Play Power Rangers: The Movie (Game Gear) Part 5-6
Finally done with this playthrough of the story mode of Power Rangers: The Movie for the Sega Game Gear. I lost to Ivan too many times. Fortunately, I beat him by spamming anti-AI tactics and baiting that sword rush of his. Cheesy play to be sure, b…
