RPG Legends: Greyhawk
One cannot have Dungeons and Dragons without Greyhawk. Sure, there have been other settings in the history of the game. There have even been settings that have arguably been more successful.

Stick RPG 1 & 2
One of the great things about RPGs is that they don’t have to look great. Sure, some of the biggest role playing games on the PC and consoles have boasted incredible graphics, but it’s always been the story that really matters. One of the best examples of story trumping graphics can be found in a […]

Cheat codes in video games?
There are few things more divisive in the gaming community than the use of cheats. When it comes to multiplayer games, almost everyone agrees that cheating is bad. If you’re playing a single player game, though, everything gets a bit tougher to discuss. After all, it comes down to a discussion of why people play […]

RPG Legends: Dark Sun
When most people think about Dungeons and Dragons, their minds turn towards epic fantasy. Elves, dwarves, dragons – it’s part and parcel of the role playing game package.

Six Best D&D Modules of All Time?
We recently took a quick look at some of the worst D&D modules ever produced. The feedback was divisive to say the least. Some called us idiots while others said we were simply trolling.

Dragon Quest Game Series
There is a great divide in the world of console RPGs. It’s not just a matter of combat systems or story presentation, but rather a very real divide between the East and West. Gamers in North America can probably list a small handful of RPG titles by heart, following those titles over the years. In […]

Six Worst D&D Modules of All Time?
Dungeons and Dragons is a game of the imagination. While some of the best campaigns that have ever been invented have been based on the ideas of individual GMs, a great deal of the experience related to playing the game is connected to playing published adventures.

Marvel Heroes Omega MMORPG
Marvel has never had a fantastic amount of luck with its video game properties. Most of what it put out prior to 2010 was largely in the realm of rushed tie-in products, with one or two games that really rose to the level of adequate. Things did, however, start to change once Marvel got serious […]
