World of Dragons: Have Your Phone & Level Too!

Everyone loves free things, especially free games.  Honestly, I think they make the world go round.  Now for all MMO lovers that know this, you're probably wondering why you're here.  Where is this free stuff you ask?  Well before I get to that, let me throw an idea into your head (like an inception *hehe*).  Now don't hate me or love me too much for using this game as an example, but what if I told you that as of now you can bring your level 80 troll hunter with you wherever you go.  What if I told you that a cross platform MMO was possible.  What if I told you that I just lied and I'm not actually talking about World of Warcraft at all.  Well it's true, I'm not talking about WoW so you can all stop getting your hopes up.  Now out of everything I just said, there was some truth to the matter.

CorsairBand's latest MMO, World of Dragons (not Warcraft), is a free to play MMO that you can play on your computer with over a 100,000 other players in game.  Now why did I say "on your computer"?  Obviously MMO's are meant to be played on a computer with your friends.  Well that's where CorsairBand proves you all wrong and introduces the first MMO that will allow you to take it on your cellphone!  Now you can battle demons and level your characters wherever you go!  Is this a good thing?  I'm actually not too sure.  Well, good thing or not, it's still awesome!
The game is available on both systems right now! So head on over to the website by clicking here, and sign yourself up for some epic dragon slaying!  Be sure to download the game onto your cellphone as well as your computer.  Don't let this cool innovative concept go to waste!  If all goes well, maybe you might even see some larger MMO's try this approach in the future.  If were lucky, Blizzard's latest MMO might just be a cellphone game! (but lets hope not….)

Real Time Worlds Introduces Project: MyWorld

Besides Crackdown and APB, game developer Realtime Worlds has got a new project up their sleeves.  Not much about this game has been released and most people are still a little confused on what it is exactly.  What we do know is that it will utilize social networking sites to bring gamers from around the world that much closer together.  This new title is also directed at non-social gamers (but not hardcore), that enjoy a good jump in and jump out kind of game.  A sneak peak trailer for the game has been released and more details relating to Project: MyWorldshould hopefully be released in the near future.  Feel free to click here and find out more on this brand new game.  Any game where you can fly cute mini boats and planes must be semi-enjoyable right?  Right???

SW:ToR Unveils Nar Shaddaa

Welcome to the crime ring, kid. Star Wars: The Old Republic has announced the addition of Nar Shaddaa into the game universe.
Hutta, a planet that once lived up to it's name of "Glorious Jewel", has become slowly desecrated by the presence of the greedy Hutts and their careless pursuits. Since the beginning of the Star Wars series, we have come to know first-hand the insatiable lust for wealth and power that defines the Hutta species. It is no surprise, then, that Hutta's nearby moon has earned a somewhat similar reputation. Nar Shaddaa, "where Hutt Gangsters go to relax", sees a constant stream of corruption, mischief, fickle loyalties, and other dirty business.
The moon's surface is burdened by an all-encompassing urban sprawl, and hazy smog that puts even Central Los Angeles to shame. Nar Shadda might also be likened to Las Vegas, on a much larger scale, and pleasure feeds into subversion at every chance.  Behind closed doors, however, the lights are not so bright, and fraudulent deals are made that hold more weight than the Republic or Empire would like to admit. Further down, the darkness thickens, and monopolistic corporations conduct heinous tests upon unwilling victims. In some twisted way, Nar Shaddaa paints a picture of Capitalism's most malicious incarnation. Despite it's insidious nature, Nar Shaddaa is essentially a neutral agent in the war between the Republic and the Empire. The fact remains, though, that Hutta's interstellar relative plays an essential role in the bloody rivalry between the Exchange and the Hutt Cartel.
Bioware has crafted Nar Shaddaa to fit within the visual theme of the game as a whole, while keeping it true to it's canon within the Star Wars universe. Boot up SW:ToR's HoloNet to read up on Nar Shaddaa's full backstory and flip through some screenshots.

Comic-Con 2010 Wrap-Up: The Video Games

In spite of its name, San Diego's Comic-Con is dominated by movies -- Hollywood always makes the biggest splash at the show by far. Comic Book sellers and artists are relegated to one part of the hall, and video games have an even smaller footprint than that. But that doesn't mean gaming's isn't on display.
This year, the big news was fighting games. Specifically, Street Fighter x Tekken and Tekken x Street Fighter. Pitting the fighters of Tekken against the Street Fighters in two different game seem more like a dream a sixth grader would have than actual products, but they are real, and they were announced at Comic-Con this year. Check it out in the video below:

Also in fighting game news: Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 also made a splash with the announcement of Thor and Okami's Amaterasu as playable characters in the upcoming game.
Bungie revealed it's new, easy-to-use Forge World for Halo: Reach as well as new modes: Vs. Firefight and Gruntpocalypse.
We learned a lot about Star Wars: The Old Republic.
We also learned a lot about Dead Rising 2, and got to check out a brand new trailer. We went deep inside the horror of Dead Space 2's panel, got a look at some Gears of War 3awesomeness, and even brought back some important Disney Epic Mickey news.
We learned how Fallout: New Vegas came to exist, checked out the sweet dual lightsabers that will be featured in The Force Unleashed 2, and got our hands on the following games:

• Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
• James Bond: Blood Stone
• Goldeneye 007 for the Wii
• Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
  
• Echochrome 2
• Kung Fu Rider

That's not all, of course. Check out the rest of our Comic-Con coverage for much, much more news about games, panel live-blogs, previews and more, more more!

Lineage readies Season 3, Episode 1 update

Massively is traveling back in time this week with regard to NCsoft titles, first with news about updates to Lineage II and now with word on an exciting bit of new content for the original Lineage. Yes, you heard right -- the first-gen MMORPG (originally released in 1998) is still alive, kicking, and updating.

July 29th will bring players the opportunity to experience Episode 1 of Season 3 on NCsoft's Play Test Servers. Subtitled Crack of Time and featuring new classes, a dungeon, and an expanded storyline, the update has yet to receive an official live release window.

New classes include the dragon knight (a damage-dealer featuring the ability to shape-shift into beast forms) and the illusionist (a PvP-centric class with substantial debuff magic and area-of-effect attacks). The update also brings revamped starting areas, Thebes Dungeon (which features a random entrance-spawn and a challenging completion timer), and tweaks specifically designed to cater to North American audiences. These changes include double XP, higher item drop-rates, and higher boss-spawn rates.
