Region Locked | Can't play an MMO game due to Region Locking

02. April, 2012Tags: MMO Blog

Can't play an online game because of region limitations Every week I’m given a set of games to review and every week I spend quite a bit of time looking into those games. A review doesn’t only need to be a quick play through of a game – that’s something that you can get on Youtube - but an expert opinion on the pros and cons of playing that game, so for that you really need to know the origins of the game, where it comes from and what the developer wanted to achieve by creating that piece of software. Before even playing a game I know exactly what to expect from not only the first few hours, but from the game as a whole.

We have a new review of Star Wars The Old Republic. See it here->>

Star Wars the Old Republic

Free to play MMORPG

I’m going to take a few seconds this week to rant about Phantasy Star Online 2. It might not be entirely unbiased, there may be occasional fan-girl squealing that wouldn’t be completely amiss at a Gackt concert and you should probably expect the occasional unpunctuated sentence as I type in a generally excited manner. Before today, I was mildly excited for Phantasy Star Online 2, it was going to be a game worth watching and, on top of that, the Vita release meant that I’d definitely end up playing it, even if just to check out the cross-platform play. Then I found out that it was going to be free-to-play and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that this was the game that had the potential of making the MMO mainstream.
