SMITE God Review – King Arthur, Once and Future King
With King Arthur, we have our first “mortal man” in the Battleground of the Gods. Guan Yu doesn’t really count, since he’s revered as a God, and considered a mark of good fortune to have Guan Yu in your place of business. He’s definitely something unique in the world of SMITE, and is the first member of the Arthurian Pantheon, with Merlin waiting in the wings. He is the Wielder of Excalibur, and he can do so many things with his absolutely bonkers moveset. There is something I’m going to go into a little more detail below, but there is one thing I absolutely, positively loathe about King Arthur – Why is he forced into Smart Cast? I don’t play with it, and I waste so many ability casts because I’m so used to being able to line up a shot before I drop it. Sure, I’m ultra casual, being Gold (at best) in Ranked Conquest. But I’m positive that I can’t be the only one who feels this way. King Arthur is an interesting … [Read more...] about SMITE God Review – King Arthur, Once and Future King

Blade & Soul Silverfrost Mountains and Beyond – GDC SF 2016 Preview
This past week we were caught off guard at the San Francisco Game Developers Convention to actually get access to some real MMORPG news that (for once) wasn’t under a hefty and shifty embargo. Well, I suppose it was still under embargo, but only through the weekend! At our private off site location NCSoft showcased the first localized look at Blade & Soul‘s Silverfrost Mountains update, an expansion that is bringing a little bit of something good no matter what your focus in Blade & Soul might be. Of course the story that impacts most everyone in this update is the long awaited arrival of level 50.
