  • Great Game Expansions: More of a Good Thing! - Articles & reviews

    Great Game Expansions: More of a Good Thing!. great game expansions. Sometimes the holiday release blitz makes it easy to miss a few games worthy of attention, including game expansions. We take a look at three expansions from late 2004 to answer the essential question: are they just more of the same, or are they worth droppin' some dough on?. Smaller games and enhancements like expansion packs don't always get all the attention they deserve. Each of these expansions adds new content to already great games, but are they worth re-installing the originals if you have already wiped them from your hard drive?...

  • Blizzard Sees More WoW Expansions - News

    Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime is already talking about future expansions to World of Warcraft.. Blizzard Entertainment’s latest World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King is barely a week old, but the company’s CEO is promising more expansions in the coming years. He added that Blizzard is aiming for one expansion a year. Expansions will be rolled out continuously for the “foreseeable” future, Morhaime told MTV.com. Simply put, there is just too much content to add and he adds that some players will begin feeling a bit fatigued if expansions come too quickly....

  • Prepare To Get Soaked: The New Roller Coaster Tycoon Expansion Pack - Articles & reviews

    Prepare To Get Soaked: The New Roller Coaster Tycoon Expansion Pack. prepare to get soaked. The latest expansion pack for the Roller Coaster Tycoon franchise is here, and it is a wet and wild ride indeed.. The most recent entry into the RCT world is the first expansion pack for Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, bearing the name "Soaked!" In addition, Soaked! has a good number of new thrill rides, roller coaster tracks, and food stands, all of which are just what we have come to expect from a Roller Coaster Tycoon expansion pack. Unfortunately, Soaked! follows another tradition of Roller Coaster Tycoon expansions in that it doesn't really try to fix the problems that hindered the original game....

  • Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath Review - Articles & reviews

    Title: Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath Platform: PC, Xbox 360 (June 23) Publisher: Electronic Arts Developer: Electronic Arts I enjoy a good expansion pack. A well-made expansion pack extends the story of the original game - or fills in the gaps of the original story as is the case with Opposing Force - while also adding new elements and making improvements. Act I starts in the year 2034 just after the events of the Firestorm expansion to Command & Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun. For the full-motion video sequences, some new actors were brought in to breathe life into the Nod cast for the expansion. Natasha Henstridge (Sil from "Species) plays Alexa Kovacs - the expansion’s evil hot blonde character who stays fully clothed....

  • Console gamers paying for promotional materials, PC users make faces - News

    However, they have been spending their credit, and Call of Duty publisher Activison has reported that they have sold almost $1 million in expansion maps for CoD 2, the most played multiplayer game on Xbox Live. Indeed, there was a time (once upon a better time...) when we got all map packs and expansions for free. EA tried selling smaller expansions for PC games, like the Battlefield 2 booster packs, and the exercise has largely been a failure - trying to find more than about a half a dozen good servers for Euro Force or Armoured Fury, the two booster packs for BF2 to date, is an exercise in futility. If I don’t like your content distribution system then I can go and find another one, and with the availability of modification tools and map editors - which have been instrumental in the ongoing success of many games since the earliest days of modern video gaming - there’s always going to be plenty of free, top quality, expansions for games available. A lot of people will splutter and complain, if we drop money for a full priced game and get ads into the bargain - but release a free expansion and pepper it with ads and who is going to really care...

  • Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath Review - Articles & reviews

    Time will tell if the expansion unbalances the game as players work out strategies with the new units and buildings. It’s the kind of thing I hoped would be fixed with the expansion. Kane’s Wrath is a by-the-numbers expansion adding new units and abilities to spice up the gameplay of Command & Conquer 3. The single-player campaign doesn’t push the story into new areas like other great expansions in the past but the Global Conquest strategy mode brings a new flavour to classic C&C gameplay. What I Compared It To: Obviously the original C&C 3 was on my mind a lot but I also considered the expansions to Warhammer 40,000K: Dawn of War and Battle for Middle-Earth II. Comparing an expansion to RTS games as a whole is a little unfair but it’s important to look where the genre is going....

  • Wrath of Lich King; 24 Hours 2.8M Sold - News

    Not one to deviate from the norm, Activision-Blizzard released the latest expansion pack for World of Warcraft last week. The record was previously held by another World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade, which sold 2.4 million copies at release back in January of 2007. GameStop, one of the largest game retailers in the USA, was all about WoW for the expansion’s release day. Blizzard, who has already expressed interest in doing more WoW expansions , will likely make another announcement later this month regarding WotLK hitting five million units sold. With a user base of over 11 million, WoW doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime in the near future, and any expansion is a guaranteed hit....
