Sony Online Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast announced they are developing Magic: The Gathering - Tactics, an online, 3D turn-based strategy game played within the rich Magic: The Gathering Multiverse.
"By
collaborating with Wizards of the Coast, we're able to combine the
strengths of both companies to develop an innovative, online, 3D game
based on an extremely popular IP," said John Smedley, president, Sony
Online Entertainment. "We're going to be taking the Magic: The Gathering Multiverse places players have never seen."
"The growing Magic: The Gathering
community has an insatiable desire for great strategic game
experiences. Sony Online Entertainment is the perfect partner to
transform the best of Magic's story, strategy and competitive play into
a fantastic 'Tactics' game experience for current and new Magic fans,"
said Greg Leeds, president, Wizards of the Coast.
Magic: The Gathering - Tactics will allow players to command forces of dramatic 3D figures and powerful spell cards pulled from the Magic: The Gathering
Multiverse. Players can participate in single player scenarios or jump
right into PVP action against other players worldwide, 24 hours per
day. Magic: The Gathering - Tactics is expected to feature
regular content expansions, a robust tournament environment, an
achievement and rankings program, and original stories of the
Planeswalkers of Magic: The Gathering.
Magic: The Gathering - Tactics
is being developed by SOE's Denver studio and scheduled to be available
for the PC in early 2010, with a version for the PlayStation 3 computer
entertainment system to follow.

| Shattered Horizon November 18, 2009 While offering no tutorial whatsoever in a relatively new genre of FPS, it appears Shattered Horizon has the right stuff for many shooter fans, with a price per value being one of the most important aspects here. Mind though you will need to see for yourself if this game is for you or if you dislike the 3D environment free movement.

| Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition November 17, 2009 Some ports are good, some ports are bad, and some ports are never to be made. I decide to include the PC edition of 'The Force Unleashed' in the latest category simply because it inherits all the bad aspects of the platform edition of the game and it also brings new bugs and other technical problems which are hard to be ignored, even by the most casual gamer.

| League of Legends November 16, 2009 Every now and then somebody comes up with a brilliant idea that shakes the very foundations of the gaming industry, despite having a low budget or an undersized developing team. DotA was such a concept and the result is a game mode that rivals Warcraft 3 in terms of popularity, establishing itself as a landmark in the RTS genre.
Featuring the same solid gameplay without the limitations of the Warcraft engine, League of Legends is undeniably a huge leap forward and probably another massive success.

| Gratuitous Space Battles October 20, 2009 I've only had the opportunity of testing a pre-release beta
version of Cliff "Cliffski" Harris' Gratuitous Space Battles, but I can tell
you I've had great fun with it. The game is developed for braniacs and lets
your imagination thrive, even if it's a top-down, 2D strategy. Looking forward
to check out multiplayer and the final version.

| World of Warcraft: Cataclysm September 8, 2009 World of Warcraft: Cataclysm promises to be one of the turning points for the Warcraft universe, not only advancing the story and lore, but also offering a new and more beginner friendly experience to new players who are just starting up on the game. That said, it is obvious veteran players haven't been forgotten, and as I've seen from this year's Blizzcon, everyone will be happy to know development work looks quite advanced, and we can probably expect this pack to arrive probably sooner than later.

| Champions Online August 27, 2009 Champions Online is not the only MMO to be released this year, but it is definitely one of the most anticipated ones, following the considerable success of its predecessor: City of Heroes. This latest release from Cryptic Studios will face a fierce competition, but those who are willing to trade a fantasy universe with a more gritty one, without forsaking a quality MMO may find a great alternative in it.
