  Keen and Graev's Gaming Blog — Authority: 123
  Content aging and becoming less popular and the population of a game shifting to the “end-game”  are both problems that all MMO’s face when they follow even a loose themepark model.  In Lord of the Rings Online, this problem is exacerbated by their storylines being contingent upon completing the prior ...

• Triqui’s Picks #4

  
  Emanuele Feronato — Authority: 419
  This week I am featuring 7 games. I found other really interesting ones, but they were simply too wide… 800×600 or even more.

  Tales of the Rampant Coyote — Authority: 425
  Hmmm - so does Frayed Knights get a free pass or not? In general, I think the question game designers should ask themselves is: Is the thing youre asking the player character to do the most obvious, straightforward, or fastest way to solve the given problem?

• Magic Systems

  
  ProjectPerko — Authority: 110
