Critical Gamer writes: Realtime Worlds forthcoming cops and robbers themed MMO action game All Points Bulletin has been given a 2nd July release date in Europe, with North America getting the hotly anticipated title on June 29th.
From DevilsMMO:
'It occurs to me that the MMO, as it currently stands in the industry, is something of a hit and miss affair. The average gamer, equipped with a console and every shooter ever made, generally only ever hears about the very biggest MMOs or, failing that, the MMOs that manage to crash and burn the hardest.
This was brought back home to me last week when I received a comment on one of my articles in which the commenter believed most MMOs are destined to fail, and fail quickly. Rather than take that statement at face value, I’ve been thinking through why that would be; what makes a game that has had thousands of hours of development hours plugged into it just fail?'
Scotland-based developers Realtime Worlds created the critically acclaimed Xbox 360 title, Crackdown. They seemed to have a bright future ahead. Unfortunately, that was not to be the case...
Splitkick: “What the hell happened?” That was my basic sentiment after playing about two hours of Brink on my PS3. I left PAX East 2011 proclaiming Brink my “game of the show” after playing a hands-on demo, and was hotly anticipating its retail release. So about nine weeks, and thirty bad reviews later, I was left wondering how something that seemed so promising in the recent past could now be such a sub-par product.
cool
you can have fun without paying "gaming bills". playing other online games that are not pay to play.
Can't wait - been in the beta and it's a lot of fun. The payment method sounds ok - not as good as I was hoping but good enough. As long as there's servers near me i'll be in for sure.
beta was alright. Pretty cool customization and concept. But not worth spending 10 bucks a month.
I'd rather wait for a GTA mmo.
You people should stop bi%$&^g and whining, I bet at least one of you (including people that post below) pay £15 a month for WOW without a second thought.
APB's very fun, I'm not going to hesitate to pay for it monthly.
