    • I saw a new one with the Minecraft skin I think it might’ve been the Xbox One S

    • Im more into PSs. Havent had an x box o my own before but after reading this, maybe Im missing a lot. However, I dont think Im one of those serious gamers the article is talking about. Im just casually playing games, have to think about if this is worthy for my case.

    • Got one since the black friday deals bought it from home depot.

    • It is indeed a good console with good specs but i am more into Playstation consoles myself considering it is the gaming console series that i started with and in this case i started with PS2.
      I am pretty casual player so i don’t seek for a hardware upgrade right away and i give it time before i decide on getting said console because i attend to be happy with what i got and entertainment value of my current PS3 has still not faded at all so i will just stick with it for time being.

  • 4 incredibly fun games for Android Wear smartwatches
    These days, it’s the case that you’re literally never a foot away from some sort of gaming device. And for those who love games? This is heaven. You could fin […]

    • I’m not sure this will ever catch on, but there’s always a possibility

    • Not into this thing. I have a lot of devices to choose from, not necessarily wanting another one. I feel like they just added this even tho how simple it is just to add more specs.

    • cool smartwatch i have one but i can’t play game on it, i only used it for exercises like recording my cardio exercises.

    • I have not heard much about smartwatches but i don’t really see this being a good platform for games. I would rather play on a handheld console compared to this.

    • Never thought smartwatches would have games of their own, though I probably wouldn’t play games on smartwatches personally, because they’re just too small. I think the real gimmick of smartwatches is having your own personal virtual assistant (to play music, track health, or help with certain tasks).

    • I don’t think I’ve bought any games on mobile before, usually I settle with the free ones.

    • Never knew Id be happier with my phone than with a computer in terms of gaming. Tbh, I play in my phone longer than with my laptop. Maybe because I only play dota 2 in my pc, on the other hand I have a wide range of mobile games.

    • Well in mobile you can play it anywhere as long as you have the connection.

    • I haven’t really played any games on my phone, but there is a variety of free ones to try before actually buying games that cost money. It’s great that you can just take out your phone and start playing when you want to provided that you have a connection to the Internet if those game require it.

  • Once upon a time, there was a little company known asΒ Sierra OnlineΒ who developed the first MMORPG. They planned to sell this software toΒ gamers so that it would be possible to connect to each other over a ne […]

    • Thanks to Sierra online, they have populated the online gaming central.

    • I wasn’t even born in 1996 but it must’ve been pretty neat to try out the internet and online games for the first time.

    • Nice to learn some history now and then. I would think players during that time would be weirded out in buying things for a game. Like, why would you buy something for a game? Lmao

    • I’d love to go back and play the first online game

    • most of the old games was released in 90s

      • yea there’s not too many games from 80s, that was likely when they first started testing and developing software to make games

    • Well MMORPG’s have gone a long way to the present day and many things have changed along the way.
      I wasn’t even born yet when the first MMORPG came out and my own personal interest towards MMORPG’s started when i found out about Runescape in 2008 when my buddies told me about it.

    • I still have my old games using emulators.

    • I think it’s difficult to determine what the first online game was, because we use “online” to mean something different today than what it may have originally meant, particularly to mean “connected to the Internet” in our modern sense rather than the general meaning which is “connected to a network or to another computer”.

      If using the latter definition, you can probably trace “online” games back to the 60s when the ARPANET was still around, maybe even as early as the 50s before computers supported time-sharing. Most of the games would have probably been Terminal-based games, mostly as text (probably categorized more as text-based adventure games where you play with a series of decisions, or a decision tree). This would have been before MUDs were around; still text-based, but not so much about dungeons. These “online” games around the 60s to the 80s would mostly be limited to the military or to academia, so not really adapted for modern use.

      The Internet would be the successor to the ARPANET, first originating in 1983, but the World Wide Web wouldn’t be around until almost another decade when computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invents it in 1989. In the 1980s, you already have MUDs which carried over from the ARPANET and were quite popular, but you also had some more graphical-based games around which started to emerge around this period.

      And it’s hard to say what the first online game even was, or when it launched, because there’s not really much record on games connected to the history of networks. But most likely, it would have been some sort of text-based game created in universities. Would be hard to have a popular online game at that time though, because most people wouldn’t even own a computer; even Macintosh computers of the 80s were seen as a luxury product.

    • I love your comment on the Shrek Games, it’s true there is really no originality in those games. Most of those games are just remakes of Shrek doing someething he wouldn’t be doing. Personally, I find him a lot in GMOD

    • In theory, they are making something increbdible but the execution is way off. They want to incorporate everything like in 007 which resulted to a boring game. While, the harry potter was just a disappointment.

    • In theory, they are making something increbdible but the execution is way off. They want to incorporate everything like in 007 which resulted to a boring game. While,the harry potter was just a disappointment.

    • I wasn’t a fan of 007 Legends either but other James Bond games like Nightfire and From russia with love were pretty good.

    • Shrek games do have a bad legacy of being bad (it doesn’t mean that there isn’t any good Shrek games) and consider the fact that there is a lot of bootleg Shrek games out there just proves the point further.
      Some movie based games have actually nailed it and some of them just missed the mark. One decent game that i can recommend that was based on the movie is Stuart Little 3: Big Photo Adventure for PS2 and i suggest you to check out if you are interested.

    • So you like these games despite the fact that they are bad? That’s interesting!

    • I’ve say Jurassic world is worse lol ..

    • Main reason why these games even exist is mainly for promotional reasons. If people buy the games, then they’ll probably also watch the movie, and the same vice-versa.

      I think the reasons why there are terrible video games based on movies is because of (1) promoting products require timing, because you probably would want a game and a movie to release at around the same time, (2) it’s sometimes difficult to license a product/franchise/etc. to a reputable company, and (3) there may just be challenges in trying to develop a game or a movie, especially if there are complexities that don’t translate from one product to another.

  • Along with the increasing popularity of smartphones, people have started using the mobile gameΒ platforms. Plenty of mobile apps are available out there for the people who are interested in online gaming to try. […]

    • Well for me, these mobile devices are really just another opportunity to try out new games in a different way. I usually look at the GB or MBs on the game and before downloading. Also, I just look at the recent reviews on the app before hand. πŸ™‚

    • I only use/keep apps after i test them out…it usually goes like this:
      1)I need to do a certain work so i search for an app to help me do it.
      2)I find a lot of apps but which one is the best??
      3)Pick the apps with the most stars and best reviews first.
      4)Start the Testing!!
      5)Delete all apps that you didnt like and keep the one that suits you!!!

      And there you go my way of choosing apps!!!! πŸ˜€

    • I dont actually prefer any game genre so Im mostly trial and error in choosing games. But I do have general rules, I dont like games that are pay to win in the extreme case aka Mobile Strike. I also spend money on games but I want it only on inventory expansion/potions etc. and such other things. My new mobile game as of now is “Last Day on Earth:Survival”, which is similar to Rust but on mobile with zombies!

    • I am not really concentrating on getting mobile apps for my phone that much because i don’t really have need for many. I don’t really play games on my phone either but i do have few apps for my phone that i actually want to have like QR code reader app and authenticator app.

    • “Best” is subjective, and it’ll vary from people to people what app is considered the “best”. Only way to know what the best mobile app is is to try the app for yourself, and I usually start looking for apps by popularity, because that’s usually an indication that it’s a good app. It can be a bit harder to search for games on the app store, so I tend to narrow it down by genre, sometimes even searching the genre I’m looking for.

  • We don’t just use apps in order to get the fun and excitement associated with playing games only. We also expect to save money on the games that we play. This fact is applicable for online gamers as well. Along w […]

    • Agreed on the custom service part. Usually with most online or mobile games I’ve played I’ve always had to contact the support team when I had an issue with the game itself or a payment i made, luckily most of my issues were resolved within 1-2 business days.

    • Ohh , :hilarious , Nice , but im not buying a games now since some game were removed that I paid a lot for it, hehe πŸ˜€

    • I’ll take the notice of using the ‘ Looking for Deals,’ especially since I’m also trying to save money up for bundles.

    • I will forever remember those payment options! Keep in mind when choosing the mode of payment, they wont always cost the same. (aside from the extra fees, Im talking about discounts) Other methods sometimes give discounts based on the service center. So make sure to check em out! However, customer service is a top priority for me because a bad CS is almost being scammed and not knowing what happened to your transaction.

    • I usually buy expensive games when theres a sale, yea this article is helpful glad i read it.

    • Yea I look out for games on sale too, or wait for winter sales. Sometimes i’ll get lucky and the game i want is on sale

    • It’s always the freebies huh?

  • With every passing year comes even better mobile games. And 2017 is no exception, having seen impressive game releases so far – and we’re only halfway through the year!Β  Here’s a rundown of the most popular 2017 […]

    • So far I’ve enjoyed Pokemon GO and Super Mario Run for 2017’s popular mobile games. A lot of my friends have played Pokemon GO, and I like that Niantic has added Johto Pokemon into the game not too long ago. Super Mario Run is incredibly well-made since you can play with just one hand, but also complete objectives like collect the pink coins; the downside of Super Mario Run is that you need to pay to unlock the other levels, but at least Nintendo was nice enough to let any players try out some of the levels.

    • Out of all of them i tried Pokemon GO and i must say i was disappointed… The game crashes/freezes sometimes, its battery consuming, there are not many stations or Pokemon in my area/country, my phone overheated when i played it for hours (not to mention that i overheated from walking as well :P) though that might be the phones issue.. No duels or stuff like the GBA Pokemon many of us grew up with.

      All in all its a disappointment (for me at least)…

    • I disagree with the Fifa mobile game. I know it’s a brand from EA games, however Pes mobile is one game beats all mobile Soccer games. I recommend looking future into the game.

    • Woah ? Don’t know this one? But this is the best ! A version of Mario , really nice πŸ™‚ ill play this game later on.

    • Pokemon Go is the only one Im aware among those listed. I had mario kart marked on notifications when it was released but decided not to download it as I was done with those kinds of games. Maybe different regions have different breakout games.

    • Pokemon Go sure was popular and it’s somewhat popular right now, but not as popular as it was when it came out. I have seen other people play it and it didn’t really click for me, but regardless it’s a nice game.

  • Virtual reality has become more popular than ever, so it comes as no surprise that the online gaming industry has jumped on the bandwagon, developing powerful VR games. VR gaming has already made big waves, making […]

  • At its core, a card gameΒ is very simple. You use the cards to achieve a certain goal in the game. This holds true for all types of card games including trading cards, collectible cards, board games, and even […]

    • I will definitely take up that strategy when playing Pokemon with friends

    • I have never played a card game online but I should definitely try it.

    • Another genre Im not having fun with. Even though I have friends that are much into cards games, Im just not into it. πŸ™ maybe playing it online would make a difference

    • I am not really a card game player but i do enjoy watching them being played.
      Card games are one of those games for me that are more enjoyable to watch rather than playing them.

      • Same here, i prefer watching card games being played rather than participating. Same thing with chess

    • Want what? Play a game?

    • Card games are pretty much like strategy games when you really think about it. You have to make a choice and also figure out what the best play is, sometimes even doing mental calculations (probability and statistics) or guessing an opponent’s move. It’s true for classic card games, TCGs/CCGs, roguelike deckbuilders, etc.

    • Mobile ESport

      Such as Dota2, League of legends, and all games were the best, most likely those mmorpg and moba πŸ™‚

    • One of my favorites are card and puzzle games because it warms up the brain and I love strategy type games

    • I am not much of a mobile gamer but there sure is quite many types of games to play. I would like to play something similar to Bejeweled on my phone if i actually wanted to get it but i doubt it because i don’t play games on my phone.

    • Arcade games are quite popular on iPhone; in fact, they’re popular enough that Apple has its own “Apple Arcade”. Personally, I prefer mobile games that require just one hand to play the game (e.g. Temple Run, Flappy Bird, etc.), but that’s becoming a bit difficult since phones are getting bigger.

  • 2017 has been the biggest year inΒ eSportsΒ history, as it’s been stacked with incredible tournaments all over the world.

    Favorite events, including the League of Legends World Championships, The Int […]

    • I’m pretty excited to hear about Overwatch League planning to be launched. Overwatch is one of the most competitive FPS games I’ve played and there are lots of competitions where pro Overwatch teams compete like EnVyUs and Lunatic Hai. I can’t wait to see here my favorite pro Overwatch players like Taimou, IDDQD, and Ryuujehong. Oooh hype is real!!!

    • I can’t wait to see the CS:GO Faze team about this. I like watching these Esports games.

    • You can also watch esports live streams on youtube, most channels usually reupload them after they’re streamed.

    • same here, most of the time they only go live when I’m in class or at a time I’m not available.

    • We all do xD thus we can only watched tho..

  • After an announcement a couple of months ago, AQ3D items have finally arrived in the GameOgre Shop! The first items that have arrived are a Leather Cape and the dreaded Ogre Cleaver of Boom. These items are […]

    • Got these two already but wow, more items in the futureee yes! Maybe a gameogre set is closer than we think. More power gameorge and artix. πŸ™‚

    • This is my review of both items above …
      1. For cleaver, this weapon has a very unique and interesting shape. This weapon can make other players pay attention to you and wonder where you got it?
      As a unique weapon, you must have this weapon …
      2. For Cape Leather, Cape is like the previous cape gameogre but with different colors and slightly different designs. This Cape also includes a unique cape …
      So I think you should have both items above if you really like collecting unique and rare items πŸ™‚

    • I really like both the items because they are unique especially the Cleaver…
      1st- Cleaver : It is too big and it really stand out. it is really Ogre-ish and it is so awesome and i really like it…
      2nd- Cape: The cape is cool too and the color is nice, but i think it is just a rescaled of the old ogre cape but it is kinda thicker than the old one… But overall , i like both items, it both have a logo of GameOgre xD…

    • This AQ3D item that been created by gameogre is really cool, a huge axe in AQ3D for the first time πŸ™‚ , thats why i really buy it xD , havent buy the other one bcux i think gameogre cape red one is much better, i guess? I think bcux gameogre cape is colorful for me? But anyways, theyre all cool , nice . Hoping for more aq3d items πŸ˜›

    • The cleaver is good but I think it’s too simple I don’t mind the logo but they could’ve at least gave the cleaver a little bit more of design, as for the cape thr logo isn’t that visible cause of the color combination so I don’t use it often the previous GameOgre cape is still better.

    • This is my review for both items.
      1. The Ogre Cleaver of Boom…Well the name speaks for itself. Stats wise I don’t think it offers much, but if you want to set yourself apart from the crowd, then equipping this axe along with your set is for you.
      2. The Leather Cape is a nice addition to add to your cape collection, especially for those that missed out on the first cape, this serves as a nice replica. The brown-ish color also gives it more of a Ogre feeling.

    • Looks good

    • now i really really want these im a new member to this ogre community tho cant wait to get these – ogre mone y?

    • The Cleaver is kinda … Special but.. The shape is complex makes you wonder how it actually works :3

      And as for the cape… It’s cool, neat.

    • I am definitely going to get that cleaver JUST YOU WAIT!!! After i get it im going to butcher all frogzards and start my own zardnugget stall!!!! hahahah

    • Wow the sword is so amazing I will be glad to have that.

    • A new Ogre club was added πŸ™‚

    • Nice items! <3

    • I have to say the items on AQD3 from Gameogre makes me pretty stoke.

    • i have the cleaver and the cape πŸ™‚ i’m excited for ogre clothes to really show some ogre spirit, sight-full

    • Nice…job ogre my mam!…btw where do i buy the ogre blade?

    • Great weapon!!! and great work that what we wait for I hope get this weapon very much

    • niceee im new here i hope to find new friends and i play aq3d

    • I really like these exclusive forum items that you can get for AQ3D and they shout out word OGRE without hesitation. I really would like to get that Ogre Cleaver of Boom because it stands out the most for me.

    • Rex replied 7 years ago

      I’m hoping for some type of Ogre head or helmet next. It would be cool if the designs people make from contests were used as inspiration for items.

    • A pvp system is definitely needed, especially one with a leaderboard
