With 2010 looming on the horizon, I can’t help but get a little excited. It’s a whole new year for video games, and – let’s face it, folks – this year kind of sucked. Sure, we had a few good releases here and there, but so many more games were canceled, and even several companies went belly-up.

Honestly, not the desired turnout. Luckily, next year’s looking a bit better, and I’ve got a list of games that I’ll be keeping an eye out for in 2010. Whether I plan on getting them or have simply liked what I saw, I’m hoping that they’ll turn out great. Feel free to comment on anything or even let me know which games you’re personally looking forward to. This goes for editors and visitors alike!

And so…my list! Keep in mind that the dates are tentative. How much do you wanna bet that half will be changed, and a quarter won’t even come out next year?

So, I was humping the screen while looking at Final Fantasy XIV information the other day, when I happened across the races. And my, what a selection! There’s the human-like Hyur, the large, tough, hairy Roegadyn, the small and cute, but highly intelligent Taruta–ahem, I meant Lalafell. Waitaminute…these all look so familiar!

Yes, I know Kenneth already reviewed DFO. But guess what? You’re getting a second opinion, and goddammit, you’re gonna sit there and like it! Also, eat your vegetables. Now, while I will be coming to Kenneth’s super cool Cool Person party (invited or not!), my opinion on the game differs somewhat.

Remember when Lord of the Rings won MMO of the Year in 2008? Okay, I vaguely do, but Turbine has announced an expansion, which only ramps up the awesomeness value. While it seems the expansion isn’t free like initially thought, Siege of Mirkwood looks like it’s going to deliver quite nicely. Let’s go over some of the new features, shall we?

Howdy, folks!

Today, we’re going to be taking a look at the admittedly rather old (but much improved) Warhammer Online as it nears its 1-year anniversary. The Warhammer Fantasy (and Warhammer 40k) IP has had a lasting influence on the video games industry, inspiring several other notable products, so it’s interesting to see how the MMORPG version of the original turned out. Well, let’s not waste any more time; onto the review!

Let me start by saying that I love vampires. Vampires are awesome. I, like many other vampire lovers, have often wondered (dare I say fantasized) what it would be like to be a vampire. I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Blade, Underworld, and pretty much any vampire fiction you can think of. Except Twilight. I fucking hate Twilight. And now they’re getting an MMO.

Developer Uforia has released an open beta client for their upcoming free-to-play dungeon crawler Red War: Edem’s Curse, now available for download.

The MMORPG offers new features including the Red War tournaments, daily events that bring a pure test of skill, as opposed to character level or equipment. In the tournaments all participants will be set to the same level at the start with only stats and skills to be adjusted as seen fit.

Despite Square Enix’s constant delays when it comes to the release of Final Fantasy XIII in both Japan and North America, there was no trepidaton at Sony’s press conference two days ago when Jack Tretton announced Final Fantasy XIV, much to the surprise of fans all over.

Ostensibly a sequel to the massively multiplayer online title Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV is looking to be the second MMORPG in the series, but not more of the same. During the untelevised Q&A session that took place yesterday, Square Enix attendees made sure to point out that the title would be a step in a different directon from Final Fantasy XI.
