Celtic Heroes Releases Dragonfire: New Great Looking HD Graphics and Loads of New Content
Celtic Heroes continues to surprise me with its longevity. I can think of a dozen reasons why this indie MMORPG should not still be an active game — heck, why it shouldn’t have survived its first year! — but the game has defied them all to remain a viable and ever-improving experience.

News iPhone MMORPG Releases and Updates: Ragnarok Valkyrie Uprising, Arcane Legends, & More!
It’s safe to say that my MMORPG attention recently has been taken up almost entirely by Order and Chaos Online’s Level 70 update — the rumors, the anticipation, the release, the playing.

Order and Chaos Level 70 Update Diary: Finding New Builds And Grinding Through Under Realm
As promised last week, I’ve continued to dig into the new Level 70 cap update for Order and Chaos Online. As I noted last week, it really tweaked a lot of things about the way the game is played, so first impressions are not always best impressions. This week I took my level 60 mage, [...]
Order and Chaos Online Update Brings Level 70 Cap and Other Big Changes, But Are They All Good?
It finally happened! The cap increase update for Order and Chaos Online, perhaps the most anticipated update ever. And at the end of the day, it may also be the most contentious update ever.

New predictions from IDC claim Android tablets to overtake iPads in 2013
While Apple didn’t invent the tablet industry, it certainly got the ball rolling with the iPad. And by rolling I mean complete and utter domination. However, research firm IDC seems to believe that such dominance will not be long-lasting, and that Android will indeed overtake iOS in operating system market share. Originally, IDC predicted we would see [...]
Order and Chaos to Get Level Cap Increase, New Zones
Last week, I briefly mentioned rumors of an upcoming Order and Chaos Online update. And just a few days later, Gameloft officially announced it: the Level 70 Cap update. In many ways, it’s the biggest update that OnC has ever seen. It’s also the update that has the biggest potential to break the game, if it’s not implemented right. [...]
