So long, Dungeon Runners – January 1st, 2010

Dungeon Runners was a game that I never played as much as I meant to. It’s funny how that tends to happen more with MMOs than any other kind of game I’m interested in. I’d dabbled from time to time, shot a few fireballs and earned some loot. But, it was always a filler for …

Taking Ardwulf to task

Usually, I like to keep to myself when it comes to disagreeing with other bloggers. I don’t like conflict and I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion. Yet, if we think back to Eurogamer’s initial review of Darkfall, was that just? People were upset because a reviewer on a big name site was …
