Responses to the Medal of Honor beta got me thinking about the various kinds of gaming, from straight-up singleplayer to online-only massively multiplayer gaming. Some people adamantly refuse to buy a game if it doesn’t have a solid multiplayer component, whereas others stubbornly refuse to go online. There are even gamers who rarely play anything [...]

StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty is only a few weeks away from launch and will soon see a return of its extensive multiplayer beta test.

It casually mentions a few rather significant new details, such as feats being daily achievements, but mostly focuses around the activities or mini-games system that has thus far only been hinted at. The lack of detail does seem [...]

New MMOGs are launched nearly every day, but with developers and publishers not providing any official statistics it can be hard to judge their relative success.
