Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy...
One of the things to come out of the last 6 years or so that I’ve found most interesting has been the rise of the free to play model. It wasn’t too long ago that free to play was synonymous with amateur game design and simple flash games. Now, even the biggest companies in the world are creating games that don’t ask for money up front, and the quality of those games has increased many times over. Console manufacturers have been slow to adopt this business model, so I was very interested in playing Happy Wars for XBLA, the first free to play game for the 360. While I don’t think that Happy Wars is a great example of the free to play structure, it stands as a unique and fun experience for Xbox Live Gold subscribers.
The F.E.A.R. devs will bring us LOTR MOBA Style.
The MOBA (Massive Online Battle Arena) genre has become the new go-to genre thanks to League of Legends' impressive critical and finical successes. Many developers have tried their hand at developing MOBA titles, but perhaps no world has been more suitable for a MOBA take than Lord of the Rings. Warner Bros. announced earlier today that Guardians of Middle-earth is the next big MOBA game on the way. The title is being developed by Warner Bros. Monolith Productions and slotted to be released for both the Xbox Live Arcade and Play Station Network sometime this fall.
