Star Wars MMO, round two! LucasArts managed to completely destroy any redeeming concept that a MMORPG held in the Star Wars universe, with help from Sony Online Entertainment.

For those not familiar with Marc Owens’ work, he’s the man behind the Avatar Machine. It’s a suit which allows the user to view themselves as a virtual character in real space via a head mounted interface. Now he’s working on another suit that’s sure to turn heads.

If you’ve ever played an MMORPG habitually, you know how difficult some bosses can be. Especially if your fellow guild members are shit-for-brain newbs.

I don’t think Star Trek ever had a sweets-themed episode, but Shatner’s slight belly ...

If he could think of something with the lasting power of Pong, what could he offer the world of MMOs? Bushnell comments that he is indeed working on an MMO, but than mysteriously added “as ...

Blizzard can’t help but tease the eager public, but we ask of them, “For the love of God, PLEASE stop teasing us!” Starcraft2.com is now an official site, which redirects to the Blizzard homepage. So is there cover totally blown now for the announcement of Starcraft 2? Maybe, maybe not. This could be Blizzard’s way of differing us from the ...
