Starting today, players can gain access to the entire Sony Online Entertainment library for $19.99 USD. In addition, players who purchase longer term plans will find that the prices have come down on 3, … Continue reading “Sony Station Pass Discount Is Here!”
I skipped This Week in Review last week because I only had three days worth of posts for the previous week. This week, I want to continue the Week in Review articles by starting out with a question, and it pertains to Star Wars Galaxies. It’s always a downer to hear that an MMO you … Continue reading “What Happened This Week: Macrotransaction Edition”
One day I hope to go to E3, maybe when MMO Fallout becomes more popular than the single person reading this article (that would be you).

I have a question for all of you who read this introductory paragraph. Have you ever rage-quit an MMO? I haven’t. I’ve quit more MMOs in the past than I can count, but they’ve never been out of a fit of rage. Single player games, yes, I’ve stopped playing because every time I played I … Continue reading “What Happened This Week: 5/1-5/14 Edition”
