Would a Neverwinter Nights be a viable MMO? Sources at Variety say Atari is betting on it. Supposedly it’s the whole reason Atari bought out Cryptic Studios.
I question whether porting NwN into the massively multiplayer realm is really a sure thing. The most obvious obstacle is taking BioWare and Obsidian out of the equation. However, I believe that taking the modding out of the game which has already spawned many persistent worlds which are essentially mini MMO themselves will take away one of the elements that makes NwN such a fascinating setting.

Next to zombies, there is nothing as cool as giant robots. This is an opinion no one should deny and in the case of old time Mechwarrior players like myself the thought of another game set in FASA’s galaxy of conflict, ploitical intrigue and 100 Ton walking death machines is a dream come true. While FASA and its video game legacy is little more than a tale of legend and myth for most gamers these days it appears some of our prayers for a resurrection of the setting are being answered thanks to a group of dedicated modders.
Mechwarrior: Living Legends is a total conversion modification of the original Crysis that is poised to take the goregous but shallow first person shooter and inject it with some death from above, PPC wielding, Battletech action. While the mod is still in the development stage at this point, the April/May update shows just how much progress the team has made recently. Among the newsbits are revelations and art for the upcoming game including a look at the Clan Mad Cat Mk II, and the Inner Sphere Bushwacker. The update also features some updated screens from the dev team’s weekly playtest and shows off not just the mecha love but also some of the armored vehicles included in the game.
While its not the first game to feature both mech and vehicles in playable form (Infocom’s Cresent Hawk’s Revenge had both), it is definitely the first time one of the Mechwarrior -type games has allowed infanty, vehicle and mecha combat all on the same battlefield. You can read the full update here, and stick around to check out all the Battletech goodness on the mod’s home website.

This showed up in our email yesterday, and we all just got so busy and forgot to post it. Therefore, today we present to you one of the most interesting modifications we have ever seen for a console controller.
The Hemp-Mote for the Nintendo Wii. Yes, Hemp. Not pot.
This is a full body Wii-mote & Nunchuk modification which is a first in a series of Wii-mote modifications to be posted by DHRECK. This modification of an original Wii-mote & Nunchuk set was made with 3 kinds of 100% natural hemp string and is fully functional with all buttons, accelerometers and the infrared camera still being able to function properly. The only downside is that the exterior will not be able to handle much abuse– or someone’s mistaken attempt to light the thing.
Like I said, it’s made of HEMP not the sticky icky you buy from that weird guy who lives in his mother’s basement next door to you–major difference — unfortunately not alot of people get that. Trust me, I have had many an argument over this before. Yes, that is pretty sad.
You can check out more pictures of this very interesting modification on DHRECK’s website which also shows off some of his other artwork.
Thanks DHRECK!

Good Old Games (GOG.com) has added Arkane’s best kept secret, Arx Fatalis to its line up. This first-person RPG is DRM free and priced right. Arx Fatalis has also been updated for Windows XP and Vista compatibility.
An epic plot and real time spell casting system are just a few of the features that make Arx Fatalis a must have title for RPG players. Getting the official soundtrack, a world map, artwork and wallpapers as a bonus with the game makes this a real bang for your buck title.
Arx Fatalis is just one of the “individual gems” of PC games that GOG.com is working to make available to players. Check out the full lineup at GOG.com for your favorite classic PC games.
