A Whole New World (of Warcraft) #6: Big, Bad Tol Barad

By Jeremiah Leif Johnson | PC Articles | Jan 12, 2011 10:00 AM | Comment

"Are we going to let them win this time?"

These were not words I wanted to hear. It was my first time on the island of Tol Barad, World of Warcraft's new outdoor player-versus-player raid zone, and I expected to spend at least half an hour chasing down objectives, capturing bases, and shattering scores of Horde players with my mage's trusty frostbolts. Everything thus far had led me to believe that I was in for an epic battle, down to the huge line of players outside the zone's gate before the battle began, and I looked forward to seeing how the new zone fared against Wintergrasp, the outdoor PVP raid zone in the game's previous expansion, Wrath of the Lich King.

Minecraft: Digging Deep Into A Curious Realm

By Nathan Meunier | PC Articles | Jan 7, 2011 6:00 PM | Comment

A ton of pixels and a little freedom can produce strange and incredible things. For Swedish indie developer Markus "Notch" Persson, they've turned his life upside-down in one of the best ways imaginable. He's in the enviable position of having his first major game project rake in well over $12 million... and the game isn't even finished or officially released yet. That's unheard of in the indie gaming world. Minecraft is shaping up to be one of the biggest indie success stories yet, and as development continues on this perfect storm of blocky landscape exploration and sandbox-style survival adventure, the prospect of building pixelated worlds and staying alive within them grows even more enticing.
