Bioware needs to step up their game with Star Wars: The Old Republic. The below video is the most recent propaganda from GamesCON and its absolutely boring. Is this really the advertising they want for the game? We saw a group of players run up to static groups of NPCs, STAND ABSOLUTELY STILL, while the healer healed, the DPS did damage, and the tank tanked. Epic combat? Action? Where the hell is it Bioware. I fell asleep watching this video.

Warhammer Online going MOBA
Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes was just announced at GamesCON. It is a 6v6v6 multi-player online battle arena game (MOBA). Oh and its free to play (F2P).
This has me mildly interested, mostly because its F2P. I enjoyed Warhammer Online for what it was: a RvR game. I didn't enjoy Warhammer Online for what it could have been: an instance-heavy RvR game that was consistent with it's path from start to finish. Unfortunately WAR split it's focus and by the time launch rolled around, it was a bucket full of holes that held water for only so long before being drained.
Wrath of Heroes extracts the RvR and compacts it into an action-oriented mash up. It is a play for the MOBA market that League of Legends currently dominates and that DOTA2 is currently doing a money grab for. Fortunately, there is plenty of demand and I cannot fault Mythic/EA for putting their foot into the door.
I will give it a try when it comes out or if I get invited to Beta. That is unless it requires Origin. Not really interested in getting involved with yet another digital distribution platform. Sign up for beta on their site.

New Counter Strike Game from #Valve
I'm not feeling very creative lately. So, another image to sum up my thoughts on the new Counter Strike game.

"Activision Ruined You"
Clearly this man is not a fan of Blizzard's plans for Diablo III.
But I bet anyone $5 and that day old burger wrapper in my car that Blizzard is thinking:
