Hey, I hear those MMPOPRORRPG things are “hep”

May 15, 2003 Mike Sugarbaker Computer and Console Games, Dungeons & Dragons, Industry One comment

Atari (née Infogrames, née Hasbro Interactive) has co-announced with Wizards a massively multiplayer online game called, hold your breath for this one, Dungeons & Dragons Online. Hey, because there’s hardly any competition in the Tolkienesque-online-fantasy-world space. They plan to ship

Interplay to do Exalted titles

May 9, 2003 Allan Sugarbaker Computer and Console Games, Roleplaying Games

So it seems that White Wolf liked how their previous arrangement with Interplay turned out, because the pale lupine has granted an agreement to “develop, publish and distribute interactive entertainment games based on the characters and fiction” from the Exalted

You should really put some pigs on top of each other

May 7, 2003 Mike Sugarbaker Computer and Console Games

I should lay off the computer games for a while, but, I had to.

I get to alpha test Puzzle Pirates and you don’t

April 30, 2003 Mike Sugarbaker Computer and Console Games

The last time I was this excited about an upcoming online game, it wasn’t really about anything. This time, it’s about pirates, and since I basically look like one, well, you can imagine how I feel. Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates is

Online tools for your dead-CCG obsession

April 27, 2003 Mike Sugarbaker Card Games, Computer and Console Games 5 comments

CCG Workshop is an online purveyor of the cardboard crack of the past, and allegedly the future. Games currently playable online include DoomTrooper (if I’d known, I might not have spent five dollars on those five pounds of cards over

Arrh, mateys, he ain’t dead after all

April 18, 2003 Mike Sugarbaker Computer and Console Games

It’s reasonable to be a little confused as to why this press release is circulating the news sites. Until you know that one of the developers of this dark-horse massively multiplayer online game is Unknown Armies developer John Tynes! That’s

White Wolf does WarCraft

March 30, 2003 Mike Sugarbaker Computer and Console Games, Roleplaying Games 3 comments

I’m surprised this didn’t come out more loudly at GTS – but maybe that’s because WotC’s old Blizzard-licensed RPGs were so poor. My interpretation of this blurb is that this new hardcover (street date: July) will take after WarCraft III’s

Holy crap, Homestar! One of Reiner Knizia’s most subtle and acclaimed board game designs is available for the PC or Mac, playable in single player mode against an AI or against other humans online. This implementation looks gorgeous and well

Upper Deck announces trojan-horse CCG

March 28, 2003 Mike Sugarbaker Card Games, Computer and Console Games

This somewhat mistitled press release says that Upper Deck, the conventional trading card company that somehow scored Yu-Gi-Oh, will be slipping “SportsNut” E-cards into one in three of its baseball card packs for the new season. Fans can then enter

Our game could be your life

March 24, 2003 Mike Sugarbaker Computer and Console Games

There doesn’t appear to be any big news in the post-GTS hangover, so have a look at this. Allan will have a mop-up report soon on the less-huge announcements from the show.

One of those times we link to a web game

March 7, 2003 Mike Sugarbaker Computer and Console Games

Hey, look! A free game that’s as good a simple, turn-based board game as you’ll find online! Yeah, it’s all a big Lego advertisement, but whatever. If they’re supporting game development that’s this smart, I’ll go out and buy a

Notice to cell phone industry: stop being dumb

January 6, 2003 Mike Sugarbaker Computer and Console Games

It’s about time someone started making noise about this. Sven’s old Gamers.com coworker Justin is using his mobile-industry juice to maybe make a service provider or two wake up to the fact that the potential market for cell phone games

December 6, 2002 Allan Sugarbaker Computer and Console Games, Dungeons & Dragons, Roleplaying Games

HomeLAN has a story relating to the classic D&D adventure Temple of Elemental Evil. According to a Computer Games magazine article, Trokia, the same developers behind the PC steampunk RPG Arcanum are working on a new game based on Gary

Frag Beta Capsule Review

April 14, 2001 Mike Sugarbaker Board Games, Computer and Console Games, Playtest Reports

In the PC gaming world, you have to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on hardware and software to deathmatch effectively, and you have to sign NDAs up the wazoo to review a beta. In our world, a beta version
