MMOments: Akaneiro Demon Hunting


(Editor’s Note: This is not a review of Akaneiro)American McGee is the patron saint of MMO Fallout, an interesting turn of events when you consider that the man has never been involved in an MMO. What I love about American McGee is that his companies have remained one of the few developers willing to take … Continue reading “MMOments: Akaneiro Demon Hunting”

Defiance And Rift Raptr Rewards


Here at MMO Fallout, we love Raptr for the fact that it is like an Xfire client that tracks game time, and gives us free stuff just for playing games.

I consider myself more of an older school MMO gamer here at MMO Fallout, so I have a simple policy regarding beta status: Once the wipes stop and the cash shop starts rolling, the game is in soft launch and the “it’s just beta” excuse doesn’t fly anymore. Path of Exile has become quite popular … Continue reading “Path of Exile: Why Aren't You Playing?”

Does Marvel Heroes Set The Stage For Marvel Villains?


I’ve grown attached to Marvel Heroes ever since I previewed the game at New York Comic Con. The game is far more enjoyable if you think of it less as a newer attempt at City of Heroes and more as a spiritual successor to the Diablo games.
