New Action MMO Metal Assault Announces Playable Characters and Beta

Meet Metal Assault’s Playable Characters: Introducing the team of Mercenary All-Stars

Aeria Games proudly presents an exciting video introduction to Metal Assault’s deadly, fully-trained team of assassins, each of whom you definitely do not want to meet in a darkened alley on evening stroll.  They are, however, the perfect skilled killers for exterminating mobs of rogue terrorists in Metal Assault’s non-stop mercenary warfare.  Which homicidal soldier matches your preferred assault strategy?

The cast of playable characters in Metal Assault:

Well-Rounded Recruit – A balanced skill set complete with a personal quest for vengeance, Carl is the perfect choice for new players.

Brutal Warrior – A seasoned soldier with the scars to prove it, Burton is fully stocked with hit points and strength, but slower on speed and long range tactics.

Speedy Sniper – Prefer to hang back and take out enemies before they hear you coming? Marie is a fast and deadly sniper, but weaker in close-range combat.

Scout and Support – Round out your team with Ai, a speedy and nimble recruit.

Once you select a hero, you can customize your appearance and start playing. Complete quests and defeat enemies to earn experience points and upgrade licenses. Through cunning attacks and enemy-flattening strategy, you will be able to consistently boost your character’s weapons, skills and outfits until you finally emerge as the ultimate executioner.  You will need all the ammo, aptitude and firepower you can muster to blaze your way through this side-scrolling, frenzied action shooter!

New Sci-Fi MMORPG Battlestar Galactica Online Review

New Sci-Fi MMORPG Battlestar Galactica Online Review

by Cody Hargreaves

Battlestar Galactica Online (BGO) is a Browser-Based, 3D Sci-Fi MMORPG that offers you the opportunity to experience the epic universe of Battlestar Galactica. This week at MMORPG.co.uk, we take a hands-on look at this action MMORPG to see what all the fuss is about.

Following closely in the footsteps of the critically acclaimed Sci-Fi television series by the same name, Battlestar Galactica Online offers you a choice between 2 races, the Colonial Humans or Cylons, more than 15 unique, fully-customizable ships, and an entire universe to explore.

Battlestar Galactica Online offers a plethora of unique and innovative features, though by far the most outstanding are the visuals. They’re fantastic, boasting some of the most impressive uses of the Unity 3D-Space engine ever seen in an MMORPG; however, what makes BGO truly special is the use of these high-quality visuals in a Browser-Based format.

Yes, Battlestar Galactica Online is played entirely from your web browser, without the need for a large download or install. As a result, you can experience first-class strategic space battles, planet-side exploration missions, epic Player-vs-Player (PvP) space wars and unique, cooperative multiplayer adventures to the bitter reaches of the galaxies without ever leaving your Internet browser.

Burda:ic Launches User-Focused Lobby Redesign for LOCO – Land of Chaos Online

Burda:ic, a leading publisher of online games worldwide, today announced an update for RTS Action MMO LOCO – Land of Chaos Online that features a slew of in-game user interface improvements, as well as the introduction of an all-new assist system. The update is now available for players worldwide to download upon logging in to the game.

Entering the new LOCO game lobby, players will find that it is now easier than ever to jump into combat. Users just need to press the “Play a Game” button at the top of the screen, and they’ll be on their way to the battlefield straight away. Similarly, a “Play with Friends” button has been added, making it simple to invite friends and quickly start a game. The team-guild system has also been revamped, allowing groups and guilds to assemble more efficiently for their practice sessions.


Along with these design changes, burda:ic has introduced a new assist system that gives players the chance to nab extra EXP, gold and in-game points in combat. Previously, when a player applied the finishing blow to a monster, only that player was rewarded. With the new assist system in effect, any characters that help to kill an enemy will now also get a cut of the spoils. This is true for all monsters on the battlefield, not just bosses, ensuring that players can quickly amass a ton of loot by helping out their fellow fighters!

Calling all wizards, the time has come for you and up to three others to save the world! The mages of Paradox Interactive today announced that action-adventure game Magicka is now available for download on all major digital distribution channels.
