Wednesday, October 13th, 2010Click here now to skip the below text and dive straight into the latest edition of Thirteen1
The October issue of Thirteen1 is available now, once again covering all angles of the gaming industry! From reviews of Castlevania and new puzzler The Ball, to features on the latest Bounty Bay content, upcoming releases, tips from industry pros on how how to get a job in gaming, and much, much more!
The cover of October’s Thirteen1 features action from Bounty Bay Online’s latest expansion, Atlantis, which the DrunkenGamer has taken a thorough look around to discover what it adds to the swashbuckling MMO. If there’s two things the DrunkenGamer likes, it’s free to play MMO’s and Pirates…and beer. OK, three things.
But he’s still got a game to run amongst all this seafaring action, and this month’s diary of his work as a developer/designer/drunken-superman on gangster MMO Omerta’s “Deathmatch” version explains just how hard it can be to integrate and balance new features in online games.
With impressive ships being the leading theme of the month, what better time to check out the rising Facebook sensation that is Vikings of Thule? It is winning over a lot of gamers, so T1 decided it was time for Facebook gaming addict TurkeySaladBoy to take a look at it.
The online space has also seen the beta release of MicroVolts, a Toy Story-come-Team Fortress MMO-shooter. This latest issue goes hands-on with it to let you know what it’s all about. (more…)
Tenacious D to Close Blizzcon 2010
Monday, October 11th, 2010
Ok, so Blizzcon 2010 tickets sold out mere minutes after they became available, as they do every year, but this news is still interesting.
Blizzard really are starting so some serious rock credentials it seems. Last years closing ceremony was headlined by none other than the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. How the hell do you top that?
Well clearly you call on the legends that are Jack Black & Kyle Gass. That’s right Tenacious D will be headlining the closing ceremonies this year and are even rumoured to be performing some all new never-before-heard material.
Here’s hoping that for the hell of it the band take to the stage wearing replicas of their in-game mention, the Tenacious Defender.
If you were not one of the lucky few that got their hands on one of the tickets to see this event live, that does not however mean you have to miss out. Blizzard are once again offering a streamed version of the whole Blizzcon event, including all the panels, Tournaments & obviously the closing ceremonies, for around £25.
