It is time for another edition of my Weekly Top 5.  This week I am targeting Role Playing video games, aka RPGs.  There are dozens of quality RPGs that I am sure some of you will be ready to call me out on for not featuring in this list.  And with that being said there are no MMORPGs because I don't play them.  Crucify me later, but these are single player RPGs mainly because I don't feel many MMOs stand up to to these games when it comes to story.

I will admit I probably have…

We have some big game releases confirmed for later on this year in today's edition of the news, the Friday edition, and we are going out on a bang.

Call of Duty (5) is set for this fiscal year.  That doesn't necessarily mean this calendar year as the fiscal year ends at the end of March.  But a pre-holiday release most likely means more sales than a late winter release.  The game will feature a new locale, and be on six different platforms.  (PC, PS3, 360, Wii.... DS and PSP?)

Well, pack your bags for Houston because NASA wants to pay you $17,000 to stay in bed for 90 straight days.

The Warcraft e-universe has been buzzing today with new info about the upcoming WoW xpac.  Lots of info was released, but two points stand out for the casual player: 10 man raids and details on the death knight hero class.

Raids & Dungeons
All raid dungeons in Wrath of the Lich King will have both 10-person and 25-person versions. So at level 80, every major encounter and every big boss fight can be experienced with a group of 10. (Gamespy.com) (hat tip Vir's post)

I can't believe the…

So I just saw this a bit ago, and I immediately cried tears of joy. Apparently The Camelot Herald has a poll going on about bringing back Old Frontiers for Dark Age of Camelot. Here it is:

 

To All Current, Former and Future players:

Would you be interested in playing on a new Dark Age of Camelot server that does the following?

Brings back the Old Frontiers territory

Brings back the old Keeps, Relics, and related systems

Does not include the following systems or components:

Master levels

    This is my first time blogging on Gameriot so I'll just take a brief moment to give some information about myself.  If you don't care, then just skip the first paragraph.  I am a hunter in what could be considered a casually-hardcore raiding guild.  By that I mean we only raid 3 days a week, but we don't suck and generally progress faster than guilds that raid almost twice as often as we do. We're currently progressing through BT and have cleared Hyjal (and yes, we have killed Kael and Vashj multiple times and completed the attunement chains before starting T6 progression).…

1UP interviews Chris Sigaty about Starcraft 2, I can't say I like some of this interview



Towards the end you find out he hates early game medics! NOOOO! I don't know if thats the C&C in him talking, but glad to know other Devs disagree with him with the same passion. M&M is what allows Terran to break out of his own turtle without having to go heavy metal.

Hello Chris, no medic kills SK Terran! (Marines, Medics & SCI vessels vs Zerg) Well I guess since there are no SCI vessels …

I bet you opened this in hopes of finding an in-depth phylosophical debate regarding the aforementioned topics. You were wrong. Its the rants of a man who continues to level his paladin, despite warnings of having "THE FUNK DROPPED INTO YO" when I hit 70, by an abundance of people.

It has to be said, blogging is an enjoyable experience if you actually bother to write something or find something to contribute. You can only get so many kicks from putting an 'e-star' in their place with a …

Sean Fanning (aka Napster on WoW/Archimonde back in the day), who created napster and all that jazz, just sold his company Rupture to EA for $30 mil.

From what I know, 99% of the founders of the company are WoW players, and my former guildmate Tivoli works for them

Congrats to all the kids for bringing in some actual cash! Too bad Rupture will now be ruined as is everything by EA, but what can ya do.

(For those of you who aren't hip to Rupture, it is a 3rd party client that hooks into whatever …

After reading tth interview with Tom Chilton and Jeffrey Kaplan concerning wotlk (available here http://wow.curse.com/articles/details/9636/) i had one big question.

This question was raised by this Question and its answer:

Q)TTH: My next question has to do with customization -- character customization -- not at the creating a character level, but like with socketing and gem socketing, I think you guys really created something that was very interesting for players, that allowed them more customiz…

As many of you know Age of Conan is the next up and coming, most talked about MMO coming from Hyborian Adventures. It has already released it's 'Open Beta' and many of you would have enjoyed it's open PvP weekend. Alot of WoW players are also commenting on how much competition it will give World of Warcraft in general.

I'm not totally convinced that it will be better or give WoW any real threats, so I did a lot of video watching and reading reviews on the weekend (after discovering their open bet…

So that waste of flesh in Austria who raped and had seven kids with his held captive daughter has released some more statements through his lawyer.  Apparently he is now trying to convince the media that he cared so much for them, and spent time with them.  Though he does admit to being "crazy".

Oh hi there.

QC Has started PvEing.
We started Hyjal last week and BT this week. The VAST majority of people have never done these fights. Many of us are still gearing up but we have a good, experienced leader and our ~17 or so core PvE members are quite good though I can't speak for the 8 pugs/apps we've been having to bring each run.

5 days raiding in and we are:

4/5 Hyjal
2/9 BT

As of right now we need just about all classes with the EXCEPTION of TANKS/ROGUES

We ESPECIALLY need:

CoH Priests
Mages/Warl…
