Titan Icon Unlocks City of Heroes Creator Offline


The City of Heroes servers may be offline, but why should that stop you from getting in some Paragon City nostalgia? I’m not talking about some weak slideshow or compilation video either, I’m talking a cold hard client with some real play to it. Enter our friends at Titan Network, who recently unveiled Titan Icon.

Dino Storm Hit With DDoS Attacks


Here at MMO Fallout, we have no patience for hackers or script kiddies, especially considering their motivations are more often than not for either craps and giggles or for malicious reasons (identity theft).

Dino Storm Redefines Combat


In my review of Dino Storm, I pointed out that the game has a fantastic concept (cowboys on dinosaurs) but the execution was a little rigid.

Why Aren’t You Playing: Dino Storm


Dino Storm is the kind of game that is born in the dreams of young boys. The more that you think about it, the more it makes sense. Cowboys riding dinosaurs, wielding laser guns, all in a old west setting. The game centers around a village called “Dinoville,” (bet you didn’t see that coming) where [...]

MMOrning Shots: Disgrace


The humor in Side Quest is a bit sophomoric at times, but it gets by all the same. Side Quest is still offline (the game is mid-development) and will be until some major updates can be added in.
