Playstation 3 Gamers Rushing to Play Warrior Quest - News
By Ionascu Alex
Published: September 9, 2008
Print Since its re-launch two weeks ago Warrior Quest, a free-to-play online RPG, has seen its console audience grow to surpass its already substantial PC and Mac following. Lead by PlayStation 3 gamers, console players have been logging on to Warrior Quest in record numbers, far surpassing the number of players accessing the game from home videogame consoles in any preceding month. Following closely behind PlayStation gamers, Warrior Quest has also developed a strong audience among Wii owners who, like PS3 gamers, can access Warrior Quest through their console’s internet browser.
Warrior Quest is a charming RPG designed for casual and expanded audiences that revolves around card collection and turn based battles. Online leader boards allow gamers to submit their scores and see where they stand in the game’s worldwide rankings. The game is free-to-play with premium content due for release in the coming months to further expand the gaming experience.
The surge in console gamers logging on to Warrior Quest comes just as the game’s developer and publisher, NextGenBooks.com announces it will be changing to mikomi.info. The group’s website can now be accessed at http://www.mikomi.info although existing URLs will continue to function for some time.
In addition to Warrior Quest, mikomi.info’s other online RPG, The Half Broken Crown: The Broken Kingdoms, has also seen its console player-base explode in the past two weeks and, like Warrior Quest, it too now sees more players accessing it through their home videogame consoles than either PC or Mac. The Half Broken Crown: The Broken Kingdoms is a point and click adventure game with live cross-platform chat facilities that allow gamers to communicate and share hints and tips together, across PC, Mac and home console platforms. This game also has PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS (with Browser) editions available for play. A special edition re-release of The Half Broken Crown: The Broken Kingdoms is due later this year.

| Silent Hill: Homecoming November 29, 2008 I was eagerly awaiting
the latest installment in the Silent Hill series, hoping to get back that
familiar feeling of fear that only the eerie universe of Silent Hill can
produce. A new developer means the game has taken a different path and while a
new approach is not always a good thing, it seems that "Double Helix Games" has
done a good job of making a game that can stand up to its predecessors and is worthy
of the name Silent Hill 5.

| Motorm4x October 16, 2008 Developed by former guys from Illusion Softworks (known for Mafia), MOTORM4X is a mixture of 1NSANE and Screamer 4x4. Keeping in mind these were off-road racing games, MOTORM4X follows the same idea, featuring non-linear events (similar to GTA concept) and a physics engine that might excel even Baja: Edge of Control.

| PT Boats: Knights of the Sea October 3, 2008 I was among the lucky few who got the chance of playing the demo version of the highly anticipated title from Akella: "PT Boats: Knights of the Sea", and I must say this naval combat simulator has all the assets needed to become the next big thing in the genre industry. The dazzling graphics, complex yet accessible gameplay, real life inspired scenarios and the unique flavor of a maritime confrontation all in the background of the ever intriguing World War 2 concur in creating a game of huge potential.
