Star Trek Online: Hands-On Preview
Nov 30th
MMORPG.com traveled down to Los Gatos to talk to the team and play Star Trek Online. We got a lot of time to just run/fly around and check out the ins and outs of the game. We then spoke to Executive Producer Craig Zinkievich about it. This is the first of two articles and is a broader preview. On Wednesday, we’ll bring you a specific article that really delves into great detail on ship interiors and bridge crews.
“The vision is that as you play through the content you feel like you’re in the movies, the TV shows,” explained Zinkievich.
They broke the missions up into mini-arcs that obviously owe a lot to a TV episode. They always begin in space with the player sent off on some kind of mission. Upon arrival, there is some kind of space-based challenge – in my hands-on time that meant combat – and then the story draws the player down onto land or some other kind of away mission.

Recently, MTV.com shared us their opinions on 5 things that Torchlight does better than Diablo 2.

It came from the Blog: Battleground Bonanza
Nov 30th
I love Battlegrounds. I think they all have their positives, though my favorite is still Alterac Valley. So I’ve been wanting to hold an It came from the Blog BG event for a while and I’ve decided it’s time… Time for the first Battleground Bonanza! Here are the details:
- When: Wednesday, December 2, 11:00pm EST (8:00pm PST, 9:00pm Server time)
- Where: The Hall of the Brave (where the Battlemasters are), Orgrimmar, Zangarmarsh U.S.
- Who: Any level 10 or above Horde character.
- How: Ask any It came from the Blog Lurker or Robinella for a guild invite.
- What: Battleground premades
Though any Battleground level character is invited, I will be playing on Robinella, who is a level 60 Death Knight and will therefore be playing in the 60 to 69 range BGs. We will be forming groups and hitting as many level/group-size appropriate BGs as we can for an hour or so. If you can’t make it to the Hall of the Brave in time for the event, you will miss out on the first screenshot, but will still be able to participate. If you are unfamiliar with Battleground play, please do some homework so that it will be more fun for both you and your teammates.
More details are after the break. More >
