I like to see these little innovations on the mobiles, just goes to show what there capable of.

Downloading now. I messed around with Pocket Legends for a while but never really got into it, but it was a surprisingly good game.

Nice, something to play other than Angry Birds during College Lectures. Awesome.

It was a fun game at first, unfortunately its even more reliant on micro-transactions than its predecessor, pocket legends. This is going to be a dark age of the gaming industry when companies release games that almost force you to pay micro-transactions in order to play. I'd rather pay a one time fee for a game then worry about how much I will need to spend in order to enjoy it.

+1 on the micro transactions. I hate them.... i would rather pay a flat monthly fee (WoW) than worry about small $$ every week or so.

They should do a free trial. like 2 weeks. then charge $9.99 for the game to keep going.

If it was a good game i would pay $10 for it.

Developers continuing to push the bill on how many microtransactions you can have... and people keep eating them up. Boggles the mind.

No. It's here now. It is not just capable there. I myself am interested in what they're capable of.

I have no problem with having micro transactions for people to buy things in game as long as they are achievable (in a reasonable amount of time) without paying.

That being said, I'd rather they took the path you mentioned and have a time limited demo and then you have to buy the game. Then have some additional pay (monthly) areas and some custom items (that are no better than standard items, just look different) that people can buy. That would probably be the best way to make a game that can make some money, remain cheap enough that people will actually buy it, and not force players to drop large quantities of $ to compete.

Couldn't agree with you more

I'd rather spend for the amount of a game I enjoy than need to worry about paying a one time fee in order to try any of it.

Since he mentioned PSO:

PSO 2 is well underway, and so far from what I've seen of the Japan-only Alpha, it looks great. The combat has been heavily revamped even compared to the latest PSP PS titles. So for those who are PSO fans (I remember playing for hours on end online on my Dreamcast), you should keep an eye out for it. It's slated to be PC-only at this point, and seems to have pretty good support for KB+mouse as well as USB controllers (testers report that the wired 360 controller works quite well, for example). Not everything is implemented, but what they have so far seems to work quite well.

For intial guess of what it might of been i went with Star Trek, and got Star Legends.

But probably seems more placed for the interest maybe?

Loks interesting and say developing for what might have any say interest of use with one.

I'm not that into being nickel and dime'd(sp?) by an MMO. It does appear to have better graphics than WoW though, not that that's hard to accomplish.
