Fallout 3: Point Lookout (PC, Action RPG) is the fourth downloadable expansion for the Fallout 3 series. The adventure begins with notice of a ferry boat that will take you to Point Lookout and a woman looking for her lost daughter, Nadine. This main quest line quickly devolves into a series of trippy quests and conversations with things that are barely human. The stories and characters here are filled with that trademark Fallout dark humor, elevating these quests to a level that rivals the main game.

  IGN gave it an 8.5 (‘Great’) rating: “Point Lookout is one of the better Fallout 3 expansions and feels well worth the $10 price tag. There’s a brand new area with over a half dozen trippy and exciting missions to find and work through. Plus, there are inbred hillbillies. If you’re still looking for more Fallout 3, definitely give Point Lookout a try.” [IGN | Fallout 3: Point Lookout Review]

Patch 1.1a was recently released for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (PC, MMORPG). Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning  is the new fantasy MMORPG from Mythic Entertainment, the creators of Dark Age of Camelot.

Patch 1.1 Details:

"Two New Careers - The Knight of the Blazing Sun and the Black Guard have joined their allies and are now available to play for everyone! Open RvR Influence System – As part of our ongoing effort to encourage people to take part in oRvR, we are pleased to announce the release of an Influence system geared solely to oRvR. Players who participate in this part of WAR will now have additional incentives for fighting for their realm. As part of this patch we have also made quite a number of changes and fixes to oRvR places and NPCs as well. Easy Public Quests - PQs are great but sometimes it’s hard to get enough people together to complete them, especially in the lower tiers. So, we are redesigning one PQ per chapter so that it can be completed by 1-3 people. Chat Hyperlinking - One of the most requested features by the community has been adding the ability to hyperlink items, abilities and quests in the chat window and now it has been added. Itemization Improvements – As part of our continuing support to improve item rewards in WAR we have released a number of new item improvements with 1.1. These improvements include re-vamped armor sets for all levels, new item drops for a number of harder dungeons, and improved drop rates of PQ rewards. Main Assist - RvR is exciting, chaotic and always challenging but this feature will make it just a little bit easier to help your group fight the good fight. Player Statue System - Nothing says "you’ve made it" more than having a statue with your name on it in the capital city of your realm. New Content - Whether it is new lairs, new quests and changes to items, this patch is full of lots of fun new content additions to the game. User Interface - Lots and lots of fixes, changes and new additions to our user interface and API functionality, new additions to the chat system and graphic options incorporating community requested features a channel flashing on activity, the ability to turn the chat bubbles on/off, a gamma slider and so much more. Player Responsiveness – We have added a number of additional features to improve the responsiveness of the game client. These changes include items that will lessen the "Pause" period in casting due to high lag, as well as fixes for a number of animation glitches and issues players experienced while rapidly activating abilities. AddOn Management - WAR now officially supports many great User Interface mods! You can now access your AddOn management window via the ‘Customize UI’ window. This window will allow you to view information about and enable/disable any AddOns you may have installed. This window also contains an ‘Advanced’ screen that gives UI mod developers access to some of the same development tools Mythic uses to create its UI. In coming versions we will continue to improve the UI Modding systems in-game and plan to launch a UI Mods specific section of the Warhammer Herald. Improved Performance and Stability - We have made additional improvements for both the client and the servers."

Storm of Zehir Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir (PC, RPG) is the latest expansion of Neverwinter Nights series. About the Game: In the aftermath of the defeat of the King of Shadows, the Sword Coast is in the midst of an uneasy economic recovery. Trade syndicates have sprung up to exploit the post-war confusion for their own ends and the players’ party will wade into this uncertain environment. In order to increase their own fortunes, they can either ally with a syndicate to create a trade empire, or cut their own path through Faerun by preying upon caravans and selling the goods on the black market. As they attempt to extend their influence, players will become aware of a new faction working behind the scenes: the evil, shape-shifting, serpentine Yuan-Ti. GameSpot gave it a 6.0 (‘Fair’) rating: “Storm of Zehir tries to be the square peg in Neverwinter Nights 2’s round hole, with predictably lackluster results. … Storm of Zehir isn’t a terrible addition to the D&D gaming canon, although it is a lot less refined than you might expect. You have to suspect that this is the result of straying too far from the original Neverwinter Nights 2 formula, and ultimately this expansion pack isn’t as enjoyable.” [GameSpot | Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir] IGN gave it an 8.3 (‘Impressive’) rating: “Fans of D&D and single-player role-playing games should definitely check out Storm of Zehir. Yes, there’s a shortage of single-player D&D games in this age of MMOs that we live in, but Obsidian has still crafted an involving and engaging adventure. It’s also nice to see the company take risks, presenting new forms of gameplay and evolving its series even further. With its emphasis on party, this feels like an homage to the old school D&D games of the past.” [IGN | Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir] If you are an RPG and Neverwinter Nights fan, Storm of Zehir is quite a mixed bag. It is a nice RPG game, but might not be the NN2 expansion you’d expect. IceRocket: neverwinter nights 2, storm of zehir, pc game rpg

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (PC, Role-Playing Game) is the latest expansion of World of Warcraft, one of the most popular MMO titles released. IGN gave it a 9.0 (“Outstanding”) rating: “Reviewing a World of Warcraft expansion is never an easy or quick task to embark on. Seeing everything it has to offer takes time and effort, so much so we’ll be spending the next week or so exploring Northrend before offering up our final opinion.” [IGN | WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Review Diary Part One]

GameZone gave the game a 9.5 rating: “World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King provides the majority of content to upper-end players who’ve hit the previous level cap of 70 and are looking for a great new class to try out or an awesome new continent to explore. If you’re just starting out and haven’t hit on the game’s higher level features, then chances are you won’t be able to get to the real meat of the expansion until you’ve done some leveling. Still, with the great new content, there’s really no reason for any WoW fan to not pick up this expansion.” [GameZone | World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]

Patch 1.0.4 for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (PC, MMO, RPG, Online) was recently released. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning  is the new fantasy MMORPG from Mythic Entertainment, the creators of Dark Age of Camelot. Patch Details:

The Witching Night live event has begun! For details, see the Warhammer Online Herald. With the arrival of 1.0.4 we are now one step closer to offering Character Transfers from low population servers to medium population servers and the final stages of testing have begun. We’re excited to share all the details, keep an eye on the WAR Herald for more information and to find out how you can help us test the Free Character Transfer service in the coming days! We have added three new guild rewards in the form of dungeon teleport scrolls. Each scroll can be purchased from a guild quartermaster, and is a single-use item that will teleport the player to a dungeon:

Gunbad Teleport Scroll - This reward is unlocked at guild rank 29, and will teleport the player into the entrance lobby area of the Gunbad Tunnels. Bastion Stair Teleport Scroll - This reward is unlocked at guild rank 32, and will teleport the player into the entrance lobby area of the Bastion Stair. Lost Vale Teleport Scroll - This reward is unlocked at guild rank 35, and will teleport the player to just outside the entrance to the Lost Vale.

Once a city has become contested, the attacking realm will now have 6 hours to capture it. If the invaders do not conquer the city in that time, the defenders will be declared victorious and the campaign will reset. Pets set to follow will now path properly to their master, and will no longer teleport instantly to their master’s side. Fixed an issue that was causing pets to stop attacking their current target and return to their master’s side. This issue would occur when a pet was ordered to change targets in mid combat, and the previous target subsequently died. Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause trainer icons not to appear on the minimaps. The successful capture of an enemy battlefield objective now rewards the capturing players with experience. In response to player feedback, the amount of renown earned from healing players has been increased slightly.

Patch 1.0.2 for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (PC, MMO, RPG, Online) was recently released. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning  is the new fantasy MMORPG from Mythic Entertainment, the creators of Dark Age of Camelot. Patch Features:

The war against the gold spammers continues. We’ve added new code that will hinder the spammers as they seek to carry out their nefarious deeds. We have added a ‘Join All’ button to the scenario window which now allows players to join all scenario queues in their current tier at once. In order to promote realm and population balance, some realms on some servers will now award their players with a +20% bonus to renown and experience. In response to player feedback, we have made several improvements to the behavior and responsiveness of the siege weapon interface. In an ongoing effort to deter players from going AFK while in scenario starting areas, we have made the following changes:

First, players who join a scenario and remain in their realm’s spawn area for two minutes will be automatically removed from that scenario. Second, upon entering the spawn area of a scenario, players will receive a debuff that prevents them from earning renown and experience.

The level range at which players are able to receive the "Bolster" buff while in RvR has been expanded. In response to player feedback, we’ve added RvR and NPC chat tabs for new players. While in scenarios, players will no longer be able to select "Need" in their loot windows unless their career or race can use the item being offered. We have fixed an issue that was causing claimed keeps to forget that they had been claimed after a server restart. Improvements have been made to how pets follow and they should now return to their owners more quickly. We continue to work on the issues with the pet window. Fixed a bug that prevented players from creating an alliance with more than two guilds. Now that this issue is resolved, alliances can grow to great numbers to crush their enemies! The patch note regarding the chat window position changing was erroneously posted. As a result, the following note has been removed: Fixed an issue that was causing the chat window to reset to its default position at logout. Due to reports that text logging in RvR may have been affecting performance in some cases, we have set combat and chat logging to be turned off by default. Players who wish to turn their logging on once more can do so by changing their game settings. Please note that there is a certain risk to changing your game settings, and so this process is only recommended for advanced users.

GameSpot gave it an 8.5 (“Great”) rating: “This isn’t the most well-rounded massively multiplayer online game, but Warhammer Online grabs the tuskgor by the horns, delivering the finest PVP content seen in a traditional persistent world RPG. Questers and explorers may not find what they’re looking for, and certain gameplay systems don’t mesh as well as they should. Nevertheless, there’s more than enough exciting PVP content here to keep newcomers and veterans alike immersed in the perpetually violent tug of war between the forces of Order and Destruction.” [GameSpot | Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Reviewed] Moreover, GameSpot liked the Public Quests, Standalone scenarios, and Open battles.
