Publisher NGames have announced the imminent release of Navy Force, a free-to-play browser-based naval strategy MMO opening its closed beta phase this August.
MapleStory Adventures is a Facebook spinoff of the hit free-to-play MMO MapleStory, using a similar visual style. The main difference is that MapleStory Adventures is more of a straight single-player RPG on Facebook, using social elements in place of true multiplayer elements. The game launches festooned with traditional MMORPG elements like crafting, pets, and quests available in tweaked, Facebook-friendly form. The depth of content is almost unprecedented in Facebook gaming and sure to keep players clicking away at monsters for ages.
Pen-and-paper RPG, The Dark Eye, has been on a constant run as Germany's best tabletop RPG for at least 26 years now. It outsold the highly-successful Dungeons & Dragons and has ever since reigned supreme in the roleplaying business in German soil. Changing with the gaming demands of the current generation, Dark Eye worked with Attic and Radon Labs to create a series of PC games called the "Northlands Trilogy" in the 90's and "Drakensang" in 2006 respectively. The games were met with generally average to favorable reviews, garnering a cult following even outside of Germany. Continuing the legacy of the Drakensang series comes Bigpoint's (formerly Radon Labs) entry to the MMO market: Drakensang Online.
