Lord of the Rings: Online Goes Free to Play September 10th
August 19, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The time I spent in Lord of the Rings: Online a couple years ago was definitely a cool experience. Any fans of WoW will likely feel right at home with the interface, but expect some awesome additions in the realm of story-based content. I’ve not seen another MMO that provides a central storyline nearly so well, and with the upcoming announcement of it being free to play, you’ve got no reason to download and hop into Middle Earth.

Rock Band 3 Can “Teach” You the Power of the Ivory
June 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment
It’s probably not news anymore that a keytar is making it into Rock Band 3. (I have to pause writing this for a minute, because I have no idea if I spelled that right since it hasn’t been in pop-circulation for 20+ years. FYI, I did). The real question is, did you realize that you’re going to be able to “learn” the actual instruments this time around? [Read more...]
XBox Live Gets More (Un)affordable
I probably am at fault for falling into the trap of thinking that paying for online is not that big of a deal. I’m probably doubly at fault for not thinking that the news of a price hike for XBox LIVE is not that big of a deal either. Like a good consumer though, I do wish that this price jump would’ve been bundled with some extra content. It’s a bit unfortunate that doesn’t seem to be the case. Hit the jump for the full post text from Major Nelson’s blog.
