When APB was announced, it was announced as an MMO for the Xbox 360 and the PC. Later, they delayed and eventually dropped development of the 360 title to focus their efforts on the PC version.

That’s right, according to Tom Chilton, WoW’s lead designer, “At some point, it may not make sense for us to have a subscription fee.” Are they mad, You ask!? No! There is a method to the madness of Free2Play, and we’re gonna tell you all about it.

In the coming weeks and months I will have much more to say about both of these games, but let me just say a couple of things right now. TERA is going to be a sleeper hit with a hardcore fanbase, and The Old Republic is going to be a Big Fucking Deal.

CCP, the developer and maintainer of the epic MMO EVE Online has opened a development studio in Newcastle, UK. The studio will be helping with the upcoming shooter Dust 514.

I never got into the whole strategy game craze, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how much people love the genre. If you’re one of the aforementioned people, you’ll probably be jealous to hear that South Korean World of Warcraft gamers are being rewarded with free copies of Starcraft II.
