I Played Blizzard DOTA and Died, and That’s OK

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 04:09 AM PST

I’ve always been very, very intimidated by Defense of the Ancients. I never really caught wind of it until a few years ago, and by then if you were not in on it, you could never hope to catch up. Stories are legendary of the game’s community and, and… I’m afraid to play it, OK? [...]

Weekend Deals: Grand Theft Auto, Rift, and Arkham Asylum

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 04:09 AM PST

Existing OnLive members should have been notified by now that they can get any full PlayPass title for $1. That’s thanks to a Facebook promotion to get 10,000 new Likes, which was easily accomplished. Should enough Likes continue to be gathered, new OnLive members will also have the chance to get in on the deal [...]

[BlizzCon 2011] The rest of the best

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 04:09 AM PST

The major announcements have been made and the dust has more or less settled. While I am still having wet dreams about Diablo III’s Collector’s Edition, bare in mind that 1 game doe snot make a company. Below are a few more trailers for BlizzCon 2011, including the new cinematic for StarCraft II: Heart of [...]

New York Comic-Con’s Cutest Cosplayers Photo Gallery

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 04:08 AM PST

Everyone loves cosplay galleries — at least, if the amount of traffic, comments, and links they get is any indication. And hey, why not? The amount of attention some people put into their costumes is admirable, sometimes maybe even borderline-crazy. But when you’ve been doing this as long as we have, all those costumes start [...]

[BlizzCon 2011] World of Warcraft : Mists of Pandaria

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 04:08 AM PST

(Expansion website) So, the expansion which everyone talked about following the not-so-secret trademark of “Mists of Pandaria” by Blizzard has been officially announced. I am personally more hyped about the new class rather than race to be honest. The Monk?! I would love to see what skills this class has. Can’t wait!

Hulu Plus Expands to 3DS and Wii by Year’s End

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 04:08 AM PST

3DS and Wii were each a bit late to get Netflix support as compared with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but they do both have capable (albeit non-HD) Netflix apps. Following in the wake of Microsoft and Sony‘s home consoles, both of Nintendo’s platforms will soon be getting support for another on-demand video provider: Hulu [...]

What to Expect From BlizzCon 2011

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 04:08 AM PST

Blizzard’s annual fan convention, BlizzCon, kicks off tomorrow and runs through Saturday, October 22 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Despite an increase in ticket prices — from $150 in 2010 to $175 this year — the show sold out very quickly. Those who aren’t lucky enough to be attending the event can still experience much [...]

Blacklight Retribution

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 04:08 AM PST

(Closed Beta signup) Perfect World Entertainment’s very first online shooter, Blacklight: Retribution, will be entering its first Closed Beta on 27 October later this month. As the date crawls nearer, the second developer diary was released and it talks about developing the game. Enhanced by Unreal 3 Engine and DX 11, players were also worried [...]

Origin Used by 5 Million People Daily, Claims EA [Update]

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 04:07 AM PST

Update: As expected, Moore didn’t mean to say Origin sees five million users every day. EA clarified with 1UP that Origin has seen five million registered users. That makes quite a bit more sense than jumping from four million registered users to five million daily users in such a short span of time. Original Story: [...]

One of the powerhouses in China alongside Tencent Games, Netease, Shanda Games, Giant Interactive and Perfect World, ChangYou managed to kick all its IPO listed [...]
