What I hate about games is when they become stale. When developer’s neglect the game, let it sit around and hope players will keep playing. Well fortunately that’s not the case for Kill3rCombo and their free to play action MMORPG Elsword. This week, Kill3rCombo will launch three new dungeons, increase the level cap and debut ninja costumes in Elsword.
Gaijin Entertainment, the developer and publisher of the upcoming free to play, massive online universe of War Thunder is pleased to announce the launch of the global closed beta test.

Well this kind of came out of nowhere. You know that really cool tank simulation game World of Tanks? Well it’s becoming a trading card game. Wargaming today has unveiled details of World of Tanks Generals, a free-to-play, browser-based MMO game combining elements of real-time strategy and collectible card gameplay.
Whenever I stopped to look at my old PS2 collection, I can never hold myself back from picking up my old True Crime games and play through them again. To me the True Crime series captured the best aspects of action and remained fresh no matter how many times I’ve played them. In 2010, the True Crime’s newest addition (Hong Kong) was sadly canceled nearing the end of production. This was marked as the death of the the True Crime series, until Square Enix got involved.

[/review]Maestia is a fast paced 3D Fantasy MMORPG published by Gravity Interactive. With top notch graphics, a clean interface and over 80 skills per character class, Maestia aims to shake up the free to play market as a whole.
One of the game?s most defining characteristics is its ?Maestone? system ? where players can embed their rare stones found by defeating enemies into their item slots to gain access to new and more powerful skills. With so many Maestones out there ? the sheer amount of character customization in Maestia is quite impressive ? as on top of 80+ skills per character class, players have access to over 70 additional skills which require specific ?Maestones?.
Another interesting feature in Maestia is the game?s dungeons ? players can control the difficulty of the dungeons they enter by setting them to either easy or hard mode. The harder the difficulty ? the more loot ? sort of like Dungeons & Dragons Online. The game has four playable classes including: Mage, Priest, Warrior and ranger.
Key features of the game:
– factions: the Superion Guardians or the Temple Knights
– 4 classes: warriors, mages, rangers and clerics
– A mystical story with hundreds of quests
– Prayer quests can be started everywhere and anywhere
– Seven keys to collect to enter the Heavenly island and track down Dark Lord Keledus
– Become one of the 13 apostles and wield the ancient powers of Ia
– Huge selection of battles: PvE, PvP, GvG and faction fights
– Unique character development thanks to experience and divinity points
– Hybrid skill system: Maestones expand your character class skills
– Enchantment on weapons and armor to enhance them and apply basic effects to them
– Crafting system to create your own items
