by

So some of you have probably played the recently Free-to-Play DC Universe Online, but for some, you may not be as much a fan of DC as Marvel. For you, there’s Gazillion Entertainment and Secret Identity Studios’ Marvel Heroes MMO, which has recently been announced to use the Unreal Engine 3, the engine powering Mass Effect, Gears of War, Batman Arkham City, and many others.

Razer’s Naga Hex Is Built For MOBA/MMORTS Players

by

Razer makes some amazing products (I use many of their wares on a daily basis) and they know what gamers want, being gamers themselves.  The Razer Naga and Naga Epic mice, one being wired, the other wireless, are designed for MMORPG gamers, with 12 programmable buttons right by your thumb for skills.  Razer has a new one with 6 buttons called the Razer Naga Hex.  The Hex is aimed more at players of games like League of Legends, where you have less things that need to be quickly accessed, but still want the optimal design.  The Hex is good for people who feel that 12 may be too many buttons for their comfort, as the Hex is arranged in a hexagonal style, giving the buttons a very quick and easy to memorize layout.  The Naga Hex will be $79.99 when it comes out and is available now for pre-order on the Razer website. 

Razer’s New Tablet Means MMO’s To-Go!

You ever see all those people with their tablet computers or other handheld devices and wonder why you can’t have a device that can let you play your favorite MMO on the road?  Laptops work, sure, but they can be clunky.  Tablet computers are perfect, but MMO games, and other hardcore games for that matter, don’t work on touch control alone.  Razer understands this, and that’s why they have a solution to the PC gamer with tablet-envy, and it’s codenamed Project Fiona.  Shown of at CES this week, Fiona is a tablet unlike any other.  At first glance, the strange appearance may seem odd, but when you hold it, you can feel that this is the future of true PC gaming on the go.  This version of Fiona is 0.2, while Razer says they are up to version 0.8 in their R&D labs, so take the design with a grain of salt, as the design will be far thinner (0.2 is roughly 3 iPads in size) and far more powerful.  The build quality feels sturdy and better than many tablets on the market now, despite this being a prototype.
