DIED Again

The inevitable has happened, and it only took someone designing a Human Centipede rendition of the ouroboros to bring it to light.

I know nothing of the buying experience with Good Old Games, as I am not quite so dedicated a journalist as to put my money on the line with devilish European distribution firms possibly based in a castle somewhere in Warsaw. I do know, however, that you should register there now to buy one of the defining games of my youth.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium isn't actually in the scrap heap yet. It's just not an MMO anymore. And a bunch of people working on it got fired. And its spirit has been broken, teeth pried loose, and ribs speared.

For all of Blizzard's coy assurances that they've made no final decisions on Diablo III for PS3 or Xbox 360, they're sure as hell dumping a lot of cash into the possibility. Now, COO Paul Sams is pushing the boat further in that direction with exclamations of how much "sense" the move makes.

Twelve years. One dozen years. That's how long we've been waiting for Diablo III. Because the day Diablo II hit shelves, we were thinking about it. And Blizzard's finally popped the top on their bottle of drunken joy.

With the recent announcement that DUST 514 will be F2P on PSN (was there any doubt for a console MMOFPS?), CCP has come out with more praise for the Evil Empire's accommodations.

The day nears. In three hours, my time, the Reavers will land and flip shit up in...everywhere. And Shepard will once again be the hero. And everyone will sleep with everyone. In space.

Remember that teaser image Square-Enix dropped to lure in designers for a new project? Well, it may have a name.

Could be nothing, but it's worth keeping an ear out for: seems it's being reported that John Staats--the decade-long Blizzard veteran and well-loved World of Warcraft designer--has been uprooted and booted from the MMORPG megalith. But worse yet, he is and/or was the senior level designer for the Titan project. [UPDATED]

MOBA glory, in all its simplistic wonder -- if these screenshots are legitimate, anyway.  The sleuths of the internuts have found what appear to be DOTA 2 gameplay captures, and posted them just ahead of Wednesday's Gamescom opening in Cologne.

Are we finally going to see furries playing anthropomorphic pandas in World of Warcraft?  No guarantees.  But Blizzard has created a new trademark for what could very well be a WoW expansion or tie-in.

There's no confirmation as of yet that this will be the final design for the release of SWTOR, but it's a bit more detailed than you'd expect from your everyday retail placeholder.

Yesterday's hints that we'd soon see a Witcher game on console have been backed by the ESRB, that notoriously loose-lipped organization which always seems to be letting the cat out of the bag early.

For all their constant denial, Bungie's doing a poor job of keeping their "Destiny" MMO under wraps.  On the other hand, they may just be trolling us for shits and giggles.

So, here's a thing. Square-Enix has just released the first teaser image of its newest upcoming franchise, something which the company says will be an "action RPG" (whatever the fuck that is).

Back in 2006, the ever-hopeful SEGA had partnered with open-world RPG developer Obsidian (Fallout: New Vegas) to grow a goose from their golden egg.

Glory be to Bethesda's slow-witted design team!  It only took them about a decade to realize that seeking outside help for visual development was a necessity.

These are actually screens and art, as scanned from the upcoming issue of GameInformer.  And you'll notice that the imagery isn't quite as bland as the first game's.

Turbine's pumping out more screenshots in anticipation of "Rise of Isengard," the new update for Lord of the Rings Online that drops next month.  And no, Christopher Lee is not reprising his role as the White Bastard.

Orthanc.  It's where Christopher Lee would live if he really were Saruman, despite the fact it's far too drafty in that stone tower for a man aged approximately twelve thousand and six to be wandering about in nothing but a white hospital robe.

In celebration of his 10,000th supplicant on Twitter, Mass Effect director Casey Hudson has slipped a picture of the newest member of Shepard's team into circulation.  And now we're going to call the guy some names and insult his hair.

Not long now until the most anticipated dungeon crawler in the history of bipeds goes shelfward worldwide. As expected, the devs over at Blizzard are doing their best to keep a steady stream of media flowing into the brainmouths of the patient masses.

Hey all. I figure I haven't spent much time posting recent trailers or dev diaries, so what the fuck--let's do that. Tonight. Right now. Get it. Put it in you.

The Consumer Electronics Show 2012 is crapping out some tasty tidbits of gaming news. Well, sort of. All right--it's not really providing us with anything useful, but here's this cutscene trailer.

If you're cool with looking like a farmer in a sack dress up until you choose a class progression, then the Jedi Consular just might be your meal ticket.

Right. So you still haven't played Dark Souls, maybe because you're not aware of it (unlikely) or perhaps because you've had your testicles forcibly removed with a pizza cutter and a set of forceps. Maybe you just don't like the idea of welcoming masochism. But regardless, this trailer makes things tempting.

Okay, so it's only a little badassery, but with so many minor developers trying their hand at creating a decent Tolkien game each year, it's only a matter of time before one of them turns out fantastic.  War in the North might just come close.
