MMO Reporter Review – Defiance
May 13th
The entertainment industry is no stranger to cashing in on a successful license. Sometimes they try by creating a video game to accompany a movie or show, usually to very limited success. So it came as a surprise that a network like Syfy would ignore the stigma and attempt to create a new and original world shared by both the television viewers and the gamers at the same time. Here we’ll be reviewing the PC version of Defiance to see if Ark Hunting is as profitable as it seems or if it’s just another multiplayer free-to-play MMO.

Neverwinter First Impressions
Apr 28th
Neverwinter is the spiritual successor of Neverwinter Nights, a fan favourite in the computer RPG genre. As an action MMO, it attempts to take the series in a different direction, and ramps of the action and the story to make an epic journey for players to embark upon. Lets take a couple of minutes to look at the first 20 levels, and my experience in game after about 12 hours of game time.
