Citadel Studios has changed the name of Shards Online to Legends of Aria, and what's more, they've made significant changes to the game. The game, originally a MORPG with numbers of small servers, is now a full-fledged MMORPG with one server that can host thousands of players in one massive world. The developer released a new teaser trailer highlighting some cool stuff they were going show at the upcoming PAX East 2017.



The image below shows a comparison between the new world in Legends of Aria and the original world (at the bottom right corner) in Shards Online.


Legends of Aria will remain a spiritual successor of Ultima Online, and the game will get a lot of new content in the coming months such as new mounts, archery, and many more. The game will be launched on Steam in 2017. You can learn more about the game at the official site.

Square Enix has revealed mobile MOBA Flame vs Blaze will launch in North America later this year. The game was announced at Tokyo Game Show 2016 and it's being developed by an all-star development team, including Producer Hironori Okayama (Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ), Director Yuji Abe (Final Fantasy XIII series), and artist of character designs Gen Kobayashi (The World Ends With You)..


 
Flame vs Blaze expands on the global MOBA phenomenon of fast-paced, competitive battles between players, adding additional layers of gameplay through climactic boss battles and a colorful cast of fully customizable characters, each with their own special transformation.

In the game, players team up with up to two friends in 3-on-3 battles to destroy the opposing team’s reactor. Players can choose their own playstyle: enter the fray against fearsome monsters to make them your allies and bolster your base’s defenses, or go head to head against other agents and assault enemy territory. After a certain amount of time, the reactors come to life and commence a full-out attack against each other. Players must work together to communicate quickly, think strategically and maneuver the battlefield carefully to defeat the opposition.

Gamevil has announced their plan to develop and release a new entry in the popular Baseball Superstars franchise. Gamers familiar with Baseball Superstars will remember the uniquely endearing aesthetics, engaging gameplay, and rewarding RPG mechanics that have defined the series since its initial introduction in 2002. The next Baseball Superstars title will be developed with the Unity 5 engine and Gamevil will incorporate the finest features from the previous games in order to make the next installment even better.


The next Baseball Superstars game is expected to see a global release next year. Gamevil will update the standards of the game to match the capabilities of mobile modern devices.

The latest entry in the series will feature impeccable 3D graphics and a flurry of advanced visual effects. Players will also be able to enjoy popular features such as "My Player" and "Super Players" which were popular in previous versions.

Baseball Superstars debuted in 2002 and is one of Gamevil’s most recognizable and beloved franchises. With over 65 million total downloads, the franchise has undoubtedly succeeded in attracting a wide variety of users worldwide. Gamers who do not particularly follow baseball have also gravitated towards the series because of its charming visuals and universally appealing skill-based gameplay.  The newest entry in the series continues after Baseball Superstars 2013 and Gamevil hopes to once again provide an enjoyable game to a wide player base that appreciates sports and RPG hybrids.

Competitive strategy card game The Elder Scrolls: Legends has formally launched on PC and the game can be downloaded for free at the official site. Unlike Hearthstone, this game has a 2-laned board, and in the game you need to create your deck using two of the five attributes in the game: Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Endurance and Willpower. How you choose to combine the attributes decides what class you will be. Watch the gameplay video below.
 

 
Bethesda also confirms the first PvE expansion The Fall of The Dark Brotherhood will be coming out on April 5. And like Hearthstone, it can be purchased with real money or in-game currency. On the other, the game's iPad version will be released on March 23 and Android version will come later in April.



Insurgency Developer Is Launching Another Good Online FPS, Day of Infamy

New World Interactive is known for modern multiplayer FPS Insurgency released in 2014. Their latest title Day of Infamy, takes players back to World War 2, is going to release on March 23, 2017. There will be several new features at launch: 10 maps, Commando Cooperative Difficulty and a Unit System.



For now the game is still in early access which can be purchased on Steam at $19.99. Based on the Steam community's feedback, the game is not just another team-based WWII FPS, and it has pretty good quality. It has realistic gunplay, localized VOIP, constantly-released updates, and more.

But I also need to remind you that the game doesn't have a crosshair on your screen and the victory is depending more  on smart decisions (like cunning, outflanking) than accurate aiming and fast reflex.



Revelation Online Trading Guide

My.com are pleased to announce that Revelation Online is now live and free to access for ALL!
Revelation Online is a breathtaking MMO where you embark on amazing adventures, explore numerous PVP modes, enjoy multiple unique classes, and embolden yourself through countless character creation options.
 

 
For players who recently start out in this game, we will introduce you the In-Game Currency System and how to trade in Revelation Online. We hope this article will help you in your efforts to earn in-game currency and ways to spend it better.
 
In-Game Currency
 
Revelation Online mainly offers four types of in-game currency, there are Imperial Notes, Imperial Coins, Aurum, Bronze Shards. Each has its own features, and we are going to give you a short overview of their uses.
 
Imperial Notes - in transactions with NPCs
Active players will accumulate Imperial Notes quite fast: you receive them for various quests, including repeatable quests, for completing dungeons, and for participating in other events. They are obtained within the game, and cannot be transferred to other players or purchased in the shop.
The Imperial Notes currency can be used for purchasing various items from NPCs, and also such operations as repairing equipment and using portals. Imperial Notes cannot be exchanged for any other currency, but if you do not have enough to purchase something, you can always cover the difference with Imperial Coins.
 
Imperial Coins - for transactions with other players
This currency is used for trading on the in-game auction and at stalls. It can be obtained and spent in a number of different ways.
Like Imperial Notes, you can earn Imperial Coins in the game for completing certain quests, dungeons, earning achievements, etc. Still, that currency is considered quite more valuable and you will not be able to earn as much of it as you might Imperial Notes.
Should you run short of Imperial Notes, the game will prompt you to pay the difference in Imperial Coins. This is convenient when you have to repair your equipment as soon as possible, and have run out of the Imperial Notes. Also, Imperial Coins can be used for contributions to the Guild Treasury. There is a daily contribution limit: 10,000 Imperial Coins.
You can sell items to other players for Imperial Coins by putting it up for auction or selling it at your own stall. Additionally, Imperial Coins can be exchanged for Aurum at the current rate via the in-game store.
 
Aurum - for purchases in the in-game store
This is a currency that can be purchased for real money. It can be used both for purchases at the store and at the auction. Aurum can be gifted and also exchanged for Imperial Coins at a floating in-game rate.
Bonus Aurum is a currency that can be received in addition to purchases of regular Aurum in the in-game store. Bonus Aurum will not be added to Aurum received from other players. It's a player-bound currency that cannot be transferred. It can be used for purchases of special items in the store.
Promo Aurum is an additional currency that can be received for participating in limited-time promotions. It cannot be transferred, exchanged, or purchased. The store features a tab with items that can be purchased for Promo Aurum.
 
Bronze Shards - for in-game purchases
Bronze Shards are a rare bound in-game currency. They can be obtained in the game by upgrading your standing with the Order of Guardians, by participating in various difficult events, or by opening a chest from the store. The Shards cannot be transferred, purchased, or exchanged. You can spend them by purchasing valuable items from NPCs; for example, by purchasing spheres needed to upgrade your fury skills, sharpen your items, etc.
 
 
Trading Methods
 
Store:
The way for Players and NPC transactions. The store is divided into ordinary stores and prestige stores. Ordinary stores are trading with Imperial Notes and Imperial Coins. Prestige stores will need to be a variety of items.
 
Trading with Players:
The most commonly-used trading method. Players need to face to face. The transaction is initiated by one party (right click on the other picture, pop-up menu, select the transaction), the other party to accept the transaction process, the transaction both sides to put the items and money to be traded, are click OK transaction is successful.
 
Auction:
Auction can be considered a C2C micro-e-commerce center, players will be idle hand items, equipment into the auction house, set a certain time to sell, pay a certain management fee for another batch of players search, parity, on-demand purchase. You need to find an auction employee. They can be found in the major cities: Sidus Ur, Sulan, and Fort Whetstone.
 
Private Stall:
Stall is for players who have some tradable items to sell. Reaching level 30, players can find the stall in the top bar entrance. You will need 100 Imperial Notes to open a private stall.
 
Email:
Players do not need to face the transaction. Email is also used as a system to send rewards. Players can find mailbox maid in major cities to use the mail function. Players can switch to the Write Mail and Inbox features in the left-hand column of the mailbox.
 
 
If you want make trade efficiently, you can get your Revelation Online Coins by using anyone of the four rear methods from above. We consumingly suggest choosing the commonly-used and the safest trading method, ”face to face”.

Rare has released a new alpha gameplay video for Sea of Thieves. The video is about a maritime combat between several members in the developer team and a crew of real players, and it shows a lot of details and unsuccessful teamwork the devs have during the skirmish. The entire video is hilarious and you should watch it if you like freedom and pirate game.
 

 
Sea of Thieves is anticipated pirate MMO set to release later this year for Xbox One and Windows 10. I expect the final release date to be announced around E3 2017.

Revelation Online offers a unqiue system that many other games do not have: Flying. Spread your wings and take off on a journey to explore the lands of Nuanor "with aerial castles and underwater places waiting to be discovered". You can start your adventure of traversing the lands more easily by aquiring your first pair of wings around level 20. Also included, if you're not a fan of wings, are a diversity of different mounts. Team up with other players and venture into difficult and fun dungeons that reward teamwork handsomly while at the same time offer a number of challenges; and lets say you meet that special one while questing, you can actually get Married! You could gain a number of benefits for being with your relative other, such as being able to teleport to them at will. This game shines at end-game content with lots of replayability according to one of the Producers and as of an exclusive interview we got some insight on on the end game experience you will uncover as follows:
What can you tell us about the game's PvE experience and end-game content?
The game will cater to both enthusiasts of the solo experience, as well as those players that enjoy taking on hader content with a group. The game focuses on making endgame reachable, since many great features like raids and guild content are aimed at high level play. Revelation Online makes sure that you have loads of things to do on your way to endgame, like group quests, dungeons, and many different leveling zones. The game will offer daily quests, raid and group content for PvE players.


This game offers numerous amounts of content which I can guarantee the player will enjoy. The skies the limit, so I would
Sign-Up today at their official website and give their a game a try. I've played since CBT1 and my thoughts so far are that this game looks promising. The astounding graphics,beautiful soundtrack, and much more just drag me into the games atmosphere. If you are interested to learn more about the game, check out their official FAQ or go and ask some questions at their Community Forums.

 
Blade & Soul - Wings of the Raven and Events (Released Late February - Early March)

Two new 24-member dungeons have arrived in the Wings of the Raven update: Skybreak Spire, home to the Raven King Lusung, who will test you knowledge on cooperating with your allies to defeat bigger threats, and Dawn of Khanda Vahar, a place guarded by the Great Drake who has been flooded with dark chi. Each of these new raids come with a new weekly lockout, and harness the most valuable of rewards ranging from new Legendary Soul Shields, new outfits, and New Legendary Accessories for each class. Along with these new loots and items, you are now able to surpass Legendary Weapon Seraph/Baleful and evolve into the Raven Weapon.


Blade & Soul has also introduced two new updates to help you upgrade your equipment and hurry along your path to legendary. The Late Winter Treasure Trove is available for players with characters level 36+. You start out with two (2) open slots and one chance to open it every 12 hours. You are able to expand the amount of times you would like to open it along with more slots by purchasing them from the Hongmoon store via NCoin/Hongmoon Coins. Also, they added a new way to help upgrade your character's weapon by adding a treasure chest to the Daily Challenge reward, which gives the player ‘vital’ resources and a chance to get some rare loot.
In my opinion this game was probably open of the best releases of 2016 for the MMO genre. It introduced the world of Blade & Soul to the Western community and together we have already had a collected amount of hours that would go into the thousands. This game has had a rough start going down lots of bumpy roads, but I actaully think they are starting to listen to the community. Many were turned away by the fact of how many years it took to come to NA/EU, but those dedicated, like me, stuck around and played the game and had lots of fun. There are many new updates to come as well as lots of new fashion styles, so I would really recommend this game to any new and avid MMO player who wants a different spin in their gaming life.
 
 
Black Desert Online - Dark Knight and 1st Year Anniversary (Released March 1st)

Black Desert Online just recently released their new class, the Dark Knight. She is gender/race locked to a Female Elf and hails from the ancient land of Kamasylvia, which she left after causing a large-scale disagreement among Kamasylvia inhabitants, after seeking out and using forbidden powers of darkness that extinguish natural forces. In battle, the Dark Knight mercilessly unleashes this terrifying skill, stripping the life force of her enemies by using her two-handed Kriegsmesser sword or her array of dark magic attacks. Even though her sword is cumbersome, she skillfully dances around her foes chaining her heavy attacks with ranged spells. With the release of this new class, every player gets a free character slot unlocked for more space.  Along with the release of Dark Knight, BDO released their (census) for their first year of being released in NA/EU territories. This game has changed a lot over the course of their first year so I would say it's worth to go back and take a lookie.

Some of her signature skills include:

Repeated Annihilation
A trademark skill to rapidly slash the enemy at max 4 times consecutively to inflict heavy damage. You can enjoy the dark spirit effects that form in the direction you wield your Kriegsmesser.
Corrupt Ground
Dark Knight can ‘corrupt’ the powers of the spirits and make them her own. A main magic skill to strike the ground hard to inflict a wide area damage to all those around.
Wheel of Fortune
Slashes surrounding enemies hard and knocks them down. The most effective attack to bring down surrounding enemies.
Imperious Command
A one-of-a-kind skill native only to the Dark Knight that leaves a special mark on targeted enemies. The marked enemies will suffer heavy explosive damage once Imperious Command is used.



Black Desert Online has made its mark on the world with its Hyper-Realistic graphics along with its Open World terrain that drags you into an immersive game experience. As of March, this month marks their One-Year Anniversary for coming to the West! They have a variety of events going on along with giving away a plethora of prizes. This game gives you the option to play from an array of Gender-Locked classes that vastly differ in their fighting styles. Having personally played this game for quite awhile, I can see where a lot of the appeal of Black Desert comes from. Fair Warning however, this game does have a decent grind and targets a Veteran MMO audience due to its array of things to pick from right from the get go, Black Desert Online is a B2P game and has lots of occasions where they have a 7-day free trial going on so I highly recommend giving this game a fair chance.
 
The Elder Scrolls: Legends - (Released March 10th)

The creators of Elder Scrolls Online and the Elder Scrolls series has just launcherd their brand new F2P TCG title, The Elder Scrolls: Legends. This competitive startegy card games takes place in the Elder Scrolls universe where you can pick from a variety of decks and classes, along with building your own deck using your own style to take on AI and other players! You’ll enter the world of Legends through its story-driven single-player campaign, exploring the world of Tamriel as you discover the game’s mechanics and card types. The campaign will jump-start your collection, earning you five pre-constructed decks as you advance through the increasingly challenging and fun adventure.
“The Elder Scrolls: Legends is for people who enjoy playing a fast-paced card game that has depth to it, but can also be enjoyed on a surface level by casual players who don’t feel like exploring that depth,” says Luis Scott-Vargas, Senior Game Designer at Dire Wolf Digital. “You’ll discover the depth if you keep playing, but you can play the game without having any experience. We want to make a game that’s easy to learn and fun to play for any level of experience, but also has something that will keep you playing for a hundred even a thousand hours.”
“When we set out to make The Elder Scrolls: Legends, we had two major player groups in mind: The Elder Scrolls fans who wanted a new way to play in the world they love, and strategy card game fans who wanted a fast-paced game with real strategic depth,” says Scott Martins, President of Dire Wolf Digital. “There’s a lot of overlap there, and we think Legends will be a game that captures fans’ imaginations with the infinite possibilities it brings to the Elder Scrolls universe.”
In my opinion, this game looks pretty fun and will often be compared to other competitive strategy card games such as Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone. Even though that may be the case, this is probably a big step for the company of Bethesda and will entertain thousands of Elder Scrolls fan for the years to come.


 
 
Overwatch - New Hero (Releases TBA - Sometime March)

Overwatch is introducing a brand new Hero to their roster, and as their 24th one, Orisa will make a interesting mark on the game. Some background and lore of Orisa is that she was created by Efi Oladele to protect the city from which she resides. She is under the Tank category and uses a fusiondriver as her primary choice of weaponry. She uses her projectile machine gun and pulses to repel targets and reposition herself to gain a disticnt advantage. Hopefully this new Lady Robot will join us all in the PTR and you can get a shot at her and learning what she is made of.


This is a really really fun game which can get you addicted in many different ways. I love the enviromental and character designs as well as the many different seasonal events you get to choose from. This is much to be expected from a company such as Blizzard. I would totally recommend checking out this game whenever its on sale due to the price of it being decently high, but its worth the money in my opnion. So join the Overwatch team today and have lots of fun with your friends!

Revelation VS Bless Online: Which One is the Best F2P MMO of 2017

$

With Revelation Online entering Open Beta and the release of Bless Online being just around the corner, a question that keeps popping is which one is the best F2P title. This article will detail and rate (according to my personal opinion) the differences between the two, although I will say this outright, the real answer will depend mostly on what your idea of a good and fun MMO is.

>> Revelation Open Beta starts. Download for free here

So let’s get into it:


Graphics & Character Creation

Nuanor, the world of Revelation Online is massive and beautiful with a lot to see and do. Rather early in the game, you get a temporary set of wings (permanent ones being obtainable at level 30) and can fly about just everywhere to appreciate the beauty of this universe. While I would personally praise the developers for creating such a gorgeous world with in-house developed engine, the game remains dated and it shows, especially when you get close enough to textures, or if you simply want to nitpick. The only complaint I have is that towns feels awfully clustered, and hiding other players only does so much to help with this. The fact that the maps are confusing makes it even harder to navigate. The character creation system in Revelation is pretty detailed allowing you to alter your avatar through various settings including height, hairstyles, body size, color schemes, scars, and so on. And with 6 different races to choose from, you should have no trouble creating the “anime” character of your dreams.


While powered by a 6 years old Unreal 3 engine, Bless Online remains a visual masterpiece. The titles runs beautifully and could almost pass for a recently released game. The overall atmosphere is amazing and assists in the immersion from early on be it with the buildings, landscapes, character designs and even the armor and clothes. This all come with downsides, however, the rendering of textures and objects in a distance being somewhat limited or slow if you don’t have a high end machine. As for the world design, it is simply perfect with a huge towns and ideally placed NPCs. Bless Online pushes the character creation and customization pretty far, taking full advantage of the game’s avant garde’s graphics. With 8 different races and 8 classes, the possibilities are numerous. With dozens, if not a hundred, of different options, realistic characters and even the ability to apply make-up as you would in real life, Bless Online can easily boast having one of the best character creation systems of MMOs available in 2017.

Result:

Another win for Bless Online, though it should be largely attributed to its Graphic advantage. The fact that Revelation is optimized towards anime-style characters doesn’t help.

Combat and Skills System

Revelation’s combat and skills system is pretty traditional. The game features rather unique combat animations, and between your basic attacks, basic skills and eight legendary skills (you are limited to six at a time), you will have a pretty interesting moveset to work with. Revelation also has three combat modes for players to choose from, including Tab Targeting Mode, Click to Move mode and Action Mode (with the camera following your mouse movements). Regardless of the mode you pick, you will most likely find yourself using particular combos most of the time to maximize your damage output and build up “energy” for your legendary skills. One of the best points of Revelation Online is the fact that the classes all have specific roles. Indeed, the game has been advertised as marking the return of the holy trinity, and with reason. Dungeons and high end content are optimized towards parties having DPS players, a tank, and a healer. While it could be argued that a lot of other games feature this, it remains a fact that unlike these, in Revelation Online it is extremely hard, if not impossible, to complete certain content properly with a correct party set-up.


In Bless Online, the combat system will depend mostly on the class you pick. The Berserker, for example, uses an action system, using its massive weapon to cleave enemies that dare get too close. The Archer, on the other hand, uses a tab targeting system, allowing it to maintain a constant DPS while being in constant movement. Players are limited to 12 skills at a time, one of these being an auto attack skill. This allows for varied builds, something that is quite interesting considering that the game allows players to create and switch between various skillsets (PvE build, PvP build, mage killer build, etc.).

Result:

While both Revelation and Bless have great battle animations and unusual skills concepts, between its holy trinity and the system around the legendary skills, Revelation Online definitely has the most interesting combat system of the two.

Progression

Leveling up in Revelation Online is pretty simple. While you can reach the max level from following the main quests alone, there are various other options available to make the precess much easier. Trials for one, can be completed daily to level up 5-10 times according to the difficulty and your current level. Need some extra EXP but no time to spend on the game? Simply drop by the hot springs to earn experience by being afk alone or with friends. Simply access your Road to Greatness tab to access these, as well as various other ways to earn a good amount of EXP everyday, including guild quests, dungeons, and other quests/missions.


Progression in Bless Online is limited to two basic methods, grinding or completing quests. If grinding doesn't scare you, you can try out Monster Hunting tasks. While they are called "quests", these are simply missions to kill monsters over and over. Whenever you defeat the specified monsters, an additional mission shows up in your Monster-Hunting Quest-log. Kill the same monster a few times to receive EXP, Gold and Item Rewards. As for the basic quests themselves, they are limited to killing X number of monsters, collecting X number of items and delivering to X NPC, or running from point A to point B. And in case you were wondering, grinding Monster Hunting quests is the fastest way to level.

Result:

Revelation Online definitely went all out regarding giving players different options to level up. Even those with limited time to play should be able to reach the level cap over a few days.

PVP

PvP in Revelation online has exactly what you’d expect from a traditional MMOs. Open World PVP starts at level 40, at which point you will be able to challenge players of the same level or higher. One interesting addition is the fact that if you are attacked and don’t fight back, the attacker will end up suffering penalties upon your death (losing durability or currency). Other options are the 1v1 Arena, Battlegrounds (10v10, 20v20, or 30v30), Guild Wars (50v50), and Sieges. Sieges will end up being the most interesting option, thanks to the possibility to take part in Aerial Combats and claim territories in the sky.

Likewise, Bless Online also possesses the basic PvP modes, with Open World PvP starting at level 30. No penalties here, since you can only attack players from the other faction, although, interestingly, you receive EXP for killing players. One odd thing I found is the fact that there is an item that protects you from PvP attackers for 10 minutes. The game also features GvG battles, castle sieges, and, the most interesting mode, 100v100 Battlegrounds that only happen twice a day.

Result: 

Only small differences between the two when it comes to the PvP aspect, and while Bless Online does have an interesting Open World system, Revelation Online's aerial sieges give it the edge.

Conclusion

The is no denying Bless Online is far ahead of Revelation Online in terms of Graphics and Character customization. Revelation didn't age too well and, despite its flight system, feels somewhat restrictive when compared to navigating in Bless Online. Nonetheless, Revelation Online is far more entertaining when considering the combat aspect and character progression. The fact that certain legendary skills require a certain amount of effort to unlock is also an interesting addition and an incentive to travel through the world. However, while Revelation Online wins this bout, it all depends on you. Do you prioritize gameplay or graphics? Are you in favor of traditional grinding or interesting new ways to earn EXP?

Nintendo Switch, the seventh major home video console from Nintendo was launched on March 3rd, 2017. Just a few days after the release, a hacker called qwertyoruiop claimed he was able to hack the console by posting an image showing his "completed work". The image shows the Switch screen with qwertyoruiop's name and the word "Done." on it.
 
The hack was done via the console's browser, which was hidden from users. It seemed that the screenshot revealed by the hacker indicated a Webkit exploit running on the Switch console. Known for Jailbreaks of multiple iOS versions and for the PlayStation 4 1.76 version hack, qwertyoruiop accomplished this hack with a slightly tweak of an existing jailbreakMe iOS Webkit exploit and by removing iOS specific code from it.

For now, nothing regarding the hack has been released to the internet and no word from Nintendo as well.

Bethesda's competitive shooter Quake Champions is confirmed to be free-to-play with purchase options. There are restrictions to free accounts which is quite fresh. Read on to learn how it works.

To unlock everything permenently, you have to purchase the Champions Pack, and if you don't want to, you can still play the game with paid players on the same maps but you have to earn in-game currency called Favor to unlock the game characters (except the Ranger who's avalable to everyone for free). However, free account can get to use the unlocked characters for a certain period of time and then they will have to earn them back again.


Favor can also be used to buy rune challenges. By beating a challenge you can earn a container similar to Overwatch's loot box to unlock new character and skins.

Bethesda stresses that free players and paid players will compete in an even playing field. There's no other barrier and restriction on free player in terms of currency earning or progression speed. So what do you think of this type of free-to-play model?

Little Triangle, a Real Alternative to Super Meat Boy

At GDC 2017, we found a unique platformer called Little Triangle among many others. The game showcased on Xbox One and is on Steam for Early Access with two chapters of single player mode. /
 
Little Triangle joined ID@Xbox and showcased on Xbox One for the first three days at GDC. After entering the central entrance, Little Triangle was in the middle of 5 indie games showcased at the central entrance of the south hall. It attracted many professionals as well as players. In the video below, they are quite excited about the game and are very generous with their compliments.


 

 The difficulty of the game reminds almost every player the once popular platformer Super Meat Boy. Why not other games but Super Meat Boy, which was released quite a few years ago in 2010? It is simply because, for more than six years, there has been no good alternative to Super Meat Boy.
 

In the Early Access version, the two chapters will take 6 hours to complete on average. In total there are 24 levels and one hidden level. For each chapter, there are two bosses, so in total four boss fights at the moment. There will be two bosses for the third chapter when the title releases in the future. Passing the levels are far from finishing the game since there are many hidden areas to explore and hostages to rescue. As for the art style, it is a signature that many players cannot forget. The animations, graffiti, and characters are all enjoyable and unforgettable.
 
As a new title to be fully released later in 2017, Little Triangle is different from Super Meat Boy in many ways. The close checkpoints inside the levels make the game much less frustrating since players do not need to start over after each death, and life is limitless. The art style is, charming and unique. But you'd be wrong if you think Little Triangle is a casual game, but it is an extremely hardcore, twitch reaction platformer! The version on Xbox One dev kit shows the title will support a multiplayer mode and even online multiplayer mode in the future. In the multiplayer mode, players can attack each other by jumping onto the head of the other player or using mechanics inside the level.
 
The title is a lot of fun to play either by yourself or with your friends. The developer said they plan to fully release the game about half a year later after early access.
 
 
 
 





How Traditional Card Games Have Evolved

Playing some of the most traditional table games in a casino used to mean strict rules and conventions that required adherence to avoid being singled out as a problem for security to deal with. However, these ideas rely on the player plying their trade in a land based casino and things have moved on since then.

Online casino and Poker sites have completely changed the game as far as gambling is concerned. You may still be playing some serious card sharps; but the game itself is no longer about two players battling it out to outbluff the other with their unwavering Pokerfaces and aggressive raising tactics – it’s a totally different ball game without ever using a ball.


The internet has played havoc with many of the world’s favourite casino card games but it was never the intention of the designers to detract so heavily from the games that inspired their work. These days; the games see players facing players in a battle of wits, as was the casino’s way, but the lack of face to face interaction has crippled the concept of online poker.

Assessing your opponent in a face to face game of poker is an essential facet of the game itself so can it be said that poker has evolved since transitioning to the online format?

It most certainly can courtesy of the online casinos providing a wealth of incentives to the player and players no longer relying on reading their opponent to secure a healthy win. Alongside the casino’s incentive based play; players can now enjoy progressively more versions of the core poker format including the lesser played Caribbean rules – no more dingy backstreet games or overpriced city casinos for the UK players!

The same applies for Blackjack which has seen a major overhaul since moving to the online format. Previously, Blackjack was for the keen eyed, mentally exercised player who could spot patterns to the extent of card counting to get an edge on the game; most were caught in the act and stripped of their winnings, but the practice was very real.

Without the chance of reading a dealer, or a card stack, players are now restrained to their hand and the other betting forms they might never have been aware of if it wasn’t for this move to online gaming.
Side bets and backing other players hands have always been an integral part of Blackjack for the more seasoned player but the knowledge has generally bypassed the average player given the profits that can be made from a short session at the table.

The move to online gambling has actively encouraged the players to improve their knowledge of the game and research the betting tactics that make Blackjack such a complex game. Though simple in concept, Blackjack has so many facets to the gambling process that it can take a lifetime to truly master – or at least it used to take a lifetime at the tables.

The Blackjack guides and instructional blogs available online have made it far easier for players to develop a superior knowledge of their chosen game which has, in turn, made for a far more competitive gaming market online. Several inexperienced players in a land based casino will no doubt hand over the bulk of their purses to the house where the better informed online players will walk away considerably better off than when they digitally ‘sat down’.

Where does the evolutionary process take us next? Virtual Reality has been mentioned as the next step in the online gameplay path meaning we may see a fully rendered digital casino before long where the two gambling routes may finally cross over.

The digital revolution meeting the traditional casino format could be the pinnacle of online gambling, quite frankly. It would allow for the Googling, fast paced player to ply their trade alongside the more seasoned gambler who is used to seeing their opponent – a happy medium for all involved?
