Listen up comic book fans, you might get hooked to an MMORPG game this time, DC Universe is about to release their online game. Which consists of so many characters that you could choose from but you can’t choose the famous character you have to create your own hero and create a legend for yourself.  This game is developed by SOE(Sony Online Entertainment). I myself is hyped to play this game, since I grew up together with these cartoons.

The gameplay, first is you have the option to become the villain or the hero. You can fight along side with Batman, Joker, Wonder Woman and Superman, isn’t this cool? I mean, isn’t this cool? lol. The game is just like what the usual DC games on other consoles where you can pick up cars and enemies to throw or use them to smash the enemy. The game is subscription based therefore you have to buy the game to be able to play. Places available for playing are really the famous places that you see on the comics, first is Batman’s famous city, Gotham, as well as the Arkham Assylum where villains in Gotham city are being kept.  You can also stroll the Justice League of America Watchtower and encounter hundreds of different DC comics superheroes and villains, let me name you few people, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Batman, Batwoman, Joker, Catwoman and a whole lot more. You don’t run astray either, like going anywhere and level up. The game is story driven therefore, you get a story for yourself. A story of becoming a legendary super hero.

Target date for the release of the game was November 2, 2010, but beta testing is on going until now. So, better save some cash already. You don’t want to start late on this one. Watch out for more updates.

Check the DC Universe main website since they are giving out free beta keys. Better check it out as soon as your read this sinice this is just a once in a lifetime oppurtunity my friend. I myself applied for it. Though I read comments that they only pick countries that could play the game. Some ranted about “sorry this game is not available in your country, thank your for your interest.” What a bummer.

Happy Playing!

Tera Online is an Massive Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) developed by En Masse Entertainment and Bluehole Studio, they are proud that they are going to release the game in a dynamic battle system gameplay, where players are allowed to fully control their characters, where gaming controllers are actually allowed in the game. Unfortunately this game will only be released on the PC.

There are six races that you could choose from Arami, Baraka, Castanics, High Elves, Humans and Poporis. Together they are trying to team up to protect their kingdoms. Therefore, the game is trying to build relationships between kingdoms to battle and go on missions together with other races. Unlike other games where the environment is just a venue for leveling.

Each races has unique personalities on the story and as well as culture including the architecture of their sturctures. There are eight classes that you could choose from, you have to choose from being an archer, berserker, lancer, mystic, priest, slayer, sorcerer and warrior. I think not all races has these certain classes. Therefore, this what makes each races unique. In fact, this could also be a reason why you need each races in forming a group in the future.

You might ask when will this game be released? The team is hoping that they can release this game next year, but unfortunately this game is not even open in a beta version yet. Currently, the game is in a pre-beta version, therefore they are only allowing very limited chosen players to check the game out. What a bummer. You can actually apply as a beta player if you want.

By the way the game is available for Koreans in a closed beta version and according to the administrators that they are now developing the game in an English language. Where a huge difference will occur compared to the Korean version. The game will also be released in a German and French language. Since they’re targeting the North America and Europe first.

For game specs they will require an Intel Core Duo 2 Processor, a 2 GB RAM and a NVidia GeForce 7600 or ATI Radeon X1800 GTO. Well it’s not too much for the specs I guess.

If you’re asking when the game will be released? It’s not announced yet but they’re saying that the game will be released real soon. So, hang on. I think it’s better that way since they want a better feel for the player where we can all see that they’re not in haste for the money.

The game will be available in retail and on a monthly subscription. Prices will be announced as soon as the release date is announced.

Since we all know that it’s 2D and we don’t expect much on a browser based game to be equipped in a high quality graphics. Since of course there would be loading problems later on if the graphics are too high.

Did you remember that you play alone together with some AI buddies when you were playing Adventure Quest? Now on AQ Worlds, you can now communicate and play with other player. Since this is now MMORPG which makes it more interactive.

Compared to Adventure Quests, AQ worlds has better looking armors and sword swings. They have more skills too. And oh, they have 2nd jobs available for you.

There are 4 jobs avalable:

First is the Warrior which primarily focuses on close combat fighting together with his sword. The warrior wears a heavy looking armor, which makes it bulky and strong this job also boasts a high HP. The Warrior becomes Warlord as his second job.

Next would be the Healer, everyone knows that a healer is a support type but this one right here can do a stand alone quest. Their second job is the Acolyte.

The Mage is equipped with magic together with different elemental spells. Mages become Sorcerers or Sorceress for their second job.

Rogue boasts with speed and power, though as a downfall they have low HP and Armor. Rogues becomes renegades as their second jobs.

There are downfalls on Adventure Quests Worlds Unfortunately, since there are moore available jobs for member which are  Beast Warrior, Berserker,  Ninja, Paladin, Pirate, Witch, Vampire, and a lot more. There are more maps available for members too. So, for people who doesn’t have the cash to play the game, better save up if you want to stay longer on this game.

The game is under development therefore, they are still trying to give a better feel of the game for us. PVP? If you’re asking about PVP, it is now available for play. If PVP’s available, parties are also available you can kill monster and level up together. So, it’ll gonna be a whole lot of fun compared to Adventure Quests.

Choas Chosen (Tank)

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is an MMORPG based on the Warhammer Fantasy world from Games Workshop. You chose a race on one of two sides; Order (comprised of The Empire, the Dwarfs, and the High Elves) or Chaos (Greenskins, Chaos, and Dark Elves).  Both sides offer the same basic careers (classes), but these are heavily distinguished between races as well such as Sorcerers  for the Dark Elves, or Engineers for the Empire, with some very specialized abilities, as with other games, engineers can deploy turrets and other fortifications, sorcerers on the other hand are able to heavy damage to their enemies at the risk of killing themselves. Character customization in Warhammer Online isn’t overly extensive, but you can add tattoos and other miscellany to your character to help distinguish you from the rest. Combat is at the heart of Warhammer Online, and engaging in battle is the main way to level in Warhammer Online.

Orc Choppa from Warhammer Online

The singleplayer quests in Warhammer Online are fairly varied and entertaining at times (in one a Goblin asks you to save him by finding an alternate source of food for a ravenous Orc), but after a few they begin to feel generic, but luckily they’re never predictable. The rewards for quests in Warhammer Online make them worth doing (some of the best armour is rewarded by quests), but the main reason to do them is to get the titles added to your name that come with success, such as “The Fearless”. On the other hand, the multiplayer quests are Warhammer Online’s strongpoint. The game lets you join any quest being completed by players at any stage (if level appropriate), and the more you do in that quest, the greater the share of loot you get upon completion, the battles in these quests are intense and chaotic, and very entertaining, and every quest is altered to make it seem like a new quest, which keeps the game fresh and interesting.

Human Runepriest

Combat in Warhammer online is superb, early on in the game a quest encourages you to join one of the games high action PVP scenarios, and once enough players have signed up to the quest, your spirited away to the battlefield, where you’ll compete against other teams of players in traditional game modes like Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, King of the Hill, and every other classic mode available.

Warhammer Online is one of the best looking MMO games to date, and has been optimized to run on a huge variety of machines. The animations aren’t always smooth, but the textures are vibrant and detailed to make up for it. Warhammer Online has excellent particle effects, that brighten the world and really engage you with the combat. Overall, Warhammer Online is a fresh offering to the MMO genre, and removes a lot of the grind associated with other MMO games, the combat is always chaotic, and is always fun, I would recommend it to anyone just starting off in the MMO game world.
