Warhammer Online: Age Of Reckoning really looks as though it could become the best MMO on the market, even surpassing the giant that is World Of Warcraft, with their new announcement of a patch possibly coming soon. The concept Warhammer may be bringing to light is Realm v Realm combat. And that would be the coolest thing ever. If instead of just having PvP inside your Realm, how incredible would it be to band together, no matter what faction you’re a part of, to combat the players of a separate Realm, in what I would hope would be a giant battle.

Of course I would expect something along the lines of WoW’s battlegrounds, opposed to freeform RvR, because that would be impossible to set up. But even that sounds awesome. And Warhammer is planning on releasing exclusive items that can only be gained through RvR. Which means, if this comes off the way that’s been proposed, I may be making a switch from WoW to Warhammer.

And now, a bit of news that bothers me. The Legend of Ys: Books I & II is being released for Nintendo DS, but instead of it being a direct port with added content and graphical updates, which is the standard for a port like this, Ys is getting a translation overhaul for the plot of the game. That only bothers me because Nintendo might just take away some of the things that made people love Ys in the first place.

I’d hate the thought of Nintendo deciding what’s best for a game that was originally translated 18 years ago, because I just don’t trust Nintendo’s ability to manufacture content that’s true to the medium. They seem much more interesting in putting out any content with an E rating, instead of focusing on good content.
