Neverwinter Open Beta

Game title: Neverwinter
Genre: MMORPG
Review:Another hyped game that many players started to like and enjoy. BUt will it last long as we will have many exclusive games released during Q3-Q4?
Neverwinter is a unique game that allows players to create their own quests called Foundry which is probably what the game is all about. Player's creativity is what makes this game more fun than the official storyline quests.

However it's still in Open Beta and I've found several issues that I dislike such as the random instance/channel that you get distributed when you are in a party. With the 1 minute cooldown to change an instance/channel isn't really what I enjoy to wait to be able to play with my party members.

The difficulty in this game is clearly meant to be playable with a group due to the no hit point recovery which makes this game a good dungeons and dragon game. This game has some confusing power/skills system which is very confusing with no retrain/reskill options except to buy it from cash shop which is what they intend to make players to do.
Looking at the mid level (30) you'll get a system message telling you that you can respec your character with a retrain token however not a single item has been handed out.

If we look at the paragon path of our characters which should be multiples that aren't available, it might be another hint on making players to respec their characters once the new paths are unlocked.
All in all I feel like this game is definately worth trying out. Don't judge the game at early levels as it gets better and more fun at later levels. There might be some unbalanced issues with classes within PvP but I'm not a fan of it. Ratings: ★★★★☆

Archeblade Open Beta

Game title: Archeblade
Genre: MMO Fighting
Review: The ratings remains unchanged. The open beta has got some bugs fixed. They added a new map and a cash shop to the game. However without any information about unlocking classes without buying from cash shop I think that's the negative thing with the game. Considering that certain classes are more Overpowered than other classes according to players. But remember that this is a competitive MMO fighting game which requires players to work as a team and win together. A little bit saddened about Renny twins are being cash shop characters but Elrath is still one of my favorite classes and probably easiest to play as.

Scarlet Blade (Queen's blade) Closed beta

Game title: Scarlet Blade (Queen's blade)
Genre: MMORPG
Review: This game is rated as Mature 17+, including nudity, sexual themes which is shown if you google for pictures. This game is aimed at adults which all characters are all females. This game is quite amazing, not just my pervert side but also as a gamer. The combat system feels nostalgic to oldschool mmorpg, with unique mecha transformation which could be used for different situation. Somehow related to other mmorpg with player transformation to benefit in battles or PvP. Talking about PvP, this game has different level base and playerbase on each PvP arena. Starting off at lv 15-17 includes 35vs35 in a heat of battle where each team is suppose to reach 200-500 kills with a time limit.

I've noticed in the PvP potions are available as we might see some unbalance ingame if it turns out that they sell things that keeps a PvP player alive. However it's all about coordination on attacking who as I've been killed within 1 second by having the opposite faction team ganging up on me even as I transformed. And now how does the PvP work you may say?

PvP is divided into two factions as you can choose at character creation to devote your destiny. Overall in PvE I find this game really easy to play as quests are given to you updated on your HUD. Just accept and follow the quests. Each class has it's pro and con when it comes to grinding or doing quests. A good example is to try out each class to level 5 when you have to beat this Spy called Cherry. But for me the unique class was the whipper which is amazingly fun as I find it funny to slap people in the face.

The first dungeon you approach is some sort of tutorial dungeon that you can solo by yourself and I like the beetles ingame that works as Anti-bot system to prevent gold farmers. I've seen many and myself aggro or accidentaly attack the beetle and die in one hit. If this character customization wasn't locked for each class then this game would be much more fun as I don't think anyone want to be forced to play as a 6"6 tall female defender.

Warframe Closed Beta

Game title: Warframe
Genre: Sci-fi, co-op, TPS (Third person shooter)
Review: Are you a L4D fan? Well this game is close to it when it comes to co-op with missions that are generated depending on each planet. You are fighting against three factions which and each planet has a difficult boss to beat to obtain certain crafting materials for crafting which is also a unique way to obtain items that are available in store but also special items and warframes which is new classes. However the game is heavy based on cash shop to get your maximized inventory slots, class slots and aswell as going "pro" mode which unlocks more perks/mod slots or passive stats that are bound to equipments and to your warframe. Each upgrade cost 20, and if you plan to just play one class only and want to upgrade everything you will need for your primary weapon, secondary, melee and for your class. so that's 4 upgrades which is 80. You do start off with 50 as a new player but you will still be forced to buy with real money to upgrade everything on your loadout. But as many fans out there, you want to try out each warframe but certain skills are only available in upgraded version which would be more money to spend which I find it really bad. But that's how they plan out on doing business but for the gameplay it feels really smooth and fun, but going stealth missions as Sam fisher or Solid Snake is really really hard unless you got silenced weapons or skills. The game becomes a little bit repetitive as they only have one map with two themes. The matchmaking system is a little bit random but they are still improving a lot during closed beta stage. I haven't checked the game out for a while but from my experience of first day I find the game a good game, especially playing with friends on a co-op game. The graphics are stunning that makes the game a new game but still under development with more features to be added which could be changing my review and ratings of the game.

Path of Exile Open Beta

Game title: Path of Exile
Genre: MMORPG
Review: The game is marvelous in all aspects, if you are a hardcore diablo fan or been interested but wanted to play a Free to play version then this is the game for you. The game offers some sort of no currency as you need to trade in different items to purchase which could also be used for upgrading or removing stats on your gear. This game has an unique passive skill tree system which is complicated for a beginner, but depending on what mode you prefer you might want to stick with different builds as you don't need DPS only at certain situation or modes (refering to hardcore mode). The game difficulties seems to be really hard as I've died to a random champion/mini boss on 2nd field. I expect this game to be out there with more content available, but for now it's the same as diablo games where you just grind, farm and repeat the same levels which could be a bit boring for some. Overall I rated this game with 4/5 stars.

Archeblade 2nd Closed Beta

Game title: Archeblade
Genre: MMO Fighting
Review: A fun game with various of characters, however no keybinding for the mouse button for regular and secondary attack. The game has a few unbalanced characters and with the servers being either full or empty isn't really a good idea with no option to be able to make a private room. The game is still in closed beta and I think it needs a bit more work with more maps released because one map is bound to one mode. Otherwise the game is fun, however lacks a little bit of something of everything. The rating is low due to closed beta stage as it could improve a lot more but for now it doesn't feel like it's a good release material for open beta yet. Rankings or player level should be added so we could skip the arcade system and go for more competitive.

Tera F2P on February 5th

Game title:TERA
Genre:MMORPG
Review: As the rumors says, Free to play will be available in February with no restriction however if you want to try out the game now there is the option for Unlimited Trial which has a few restriction but still free to play without any fee. The restriction are lv 28 cap, no friend invite, no guild creation, no whisper. The game has been a big hype for me since it went release but also bad reviews/rumors from other players occured during the time it was P2P. However the game feels smooth, feels a bit outdated graphics upclose but it is an old MMORPG considering it's been out for a while. I love the distance graphics on buildings and the enviroment as the first time you reach the big city Velik. The annoying thing with the game is that it shares the same thing as RaiderZ does when you open up a menu and move, it will terminate it which could be annoying if you plan on looking at skills or browsing your inventory while running. Another bad feature is the NPC conversation that overflows your chat and if you plan on talking in local then you might want to filter away global chat. But on the otherside the game is really something that you should experience as it went from P2P to F2P. Atleast give it a try because now is the chance to play and see for yourself the wonderful game of TERA and their class/race system.
