Eve Online has suffered through a sea of controversy in recent months over the introduction of micro transactions to the still fully subscription MMO, but through it all they have still maintained an otherwise loyal fan base. Never afraid to break new ground the folks over at CCP have announced that starting today, players can trade in PLEX to buy actual hardware upgrades, and the first item being offered is the NVidia GTX 560.
The economy of Eve Online operates on a currency known as ISK, however the relation of ISK to PLEX is an interesting one. Players can buy PLEX for real world dollars, and sell it on the open Eve marketplace to acquire ISK to buy ships, weapons, and upgrades. Plex up until now could only be redeemed for one month of free game time, however this new purpose will no doubt drive up its value. The idea behind PLEX was to allow gamers with more money than time to fund the adventures of those with more time than money. It’s an ingenious system, and one that has kept revenues steady while just about every other MMO has had to abandon subscriptions in favor of free-to-play. Continue reading »

After what’s felt like a lifetime of playing Ezio’s, well, entire life, Assassin’s Creed is finally in for a much-requested/angrily demanded change of scenery. More specifically, the American Revolution is about to get a massive shipment of conveniently placed hay bales, which have somehow been imbued with the magical power to muffle the sound of a 170 lb or so man falling 100 feet. But we digress. So far, Ubisoft’s only officially sent along a box shot of AC III’s tomahawk-wielding main character making a British soldier’s head revolt from the rest of his body, but All Games Beta has managed to dig up roughly a billion screens depicting everything from wildlife hunting to George Freaking Washington. Ubisoft’s PC indiscretions notwithstanding, this has us pretty damn intrigued. Apparently, more info’s coming on Monday, so we’ll emerge from our impregnable hay bale bunker as soon as that happens.

Strategy games have spread to more platforms than ever. While the genre originally flourished on PC, now we find these games on consoles, handhelds, Facebook and our phones. It’s debatable whether 2011 was the best year ever for strategy fans, but looking at what’s come out it’s definitely an amazing one.
Let’s just get the bad out of the way. The biggest disappointment was Sword of the Stars II. The original was generally well-received, delivering a good 4X title with “quirky” visuals and lauded RTS combat. This year’s sequel, though, was terrible. With innumerable bugs, Sword of the Stars II was basically unplayable at the time of our review. Could it be better with more patches? Sure, but it released in a state that certainly didn’t warrant anyone’s money. Sword of the Stars II may be this year’s low point, but several middle-of-the-road strategy titles came out this year that offer cool experiences for certain niches. Men Of War: Vietnam, a brutally difficult RTS, may not be for everyone, but fans of micro-management and a lot of failure can get satisfaction from its challenging levels. Additionally Age of Empires: Online offers a unique experience for strategy fans this year, combining “some of the most addictive parts” of MMORPGs and RTS titles into a game that won over our reviewer despite A.I. and balance issues.
