    Puzzle Crack

    Saturday, March 31st, 2007

    You may have heard the buzz around Puzzle Quest, the puzzle game that’s also an RPG. Tycho at PA was raving about it, and a few bloggers have mentioned it lately too. I gave the PC demo a shot about three days ago but put it down after about 30 minutes. Puzzle games are really […]

    Friday, March 30th, 2007

    Matt Mihaly just released a sample montage of music for Iron Realms Entertainment’s upcoming MMORPG, Earth Eternal. It sounds pretty good, and you can listen to it here.

Occasionally specialty sites like MMORPG.com will go revisit a particularly popular game that’s changed a lot and re-review […]

    Free Dungeon Runners Keys

    NCSoft’s latest offering, Dungeon Runners, has been intriguing me for some time. It seems to be a free to play, next-gen Diablo with a tongue-in-cheek approach to item names. Unfortunately, it’s been invite only for the length of its beta period, and I don’t know anyone who’s in.
    Well, I was over at MMORPG.com researching my […]

    Welcome to Random Battle. This isn’t my first blog about the games industry, nor is it my personal blog, but it is where I’ll be trying to comment regularly on industry-relevant topics. The way I see it, I can’t keep posting on gaming community blogs without a site, because then no one can come […]
