The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth2010-01-29 00:00:00When watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy in the theaters, true fans of the Tolkien mythos cannot help but be caught up in the huge, awe-inspiring battles. You could literally feel the dread of the conscripts on the walls of Helms Deep as the forces of Sarumon closed in on the fortress. You sensed the fear of the soldiers of Gondor as the shrieking fell beasts swooped in for the kill at Minas Tirith. And you also experienced the exhilaration as the Riders of Rohan responded to the call and swept over the battlefield to flank the orcish army.The movies were all about grand scale and the emotion that followed the highs and lows of the Fellowship in the grand plan masterfully crafted by Tolkien. It would seem impossible for any game to recreate that sense of awe … until now.The team that brought you Command & Conquer Generals is bringing a reworked version of that Sage engine to the world of Middle-earth, with an ambitious attempt to provide the same adrenaline rush for the game player...

Acclaim CEO Howard Marks and Free-to-Play MMOs2009-09-10 00:00:009Dragons<br />For game analysts, journalists and fans, companies like Acclaim are often hard to get a handle on. Since the company's rebirth in 2005, CEO Howard Marks has set out to bring a traditionally Eastern vision of MMORPG business practices to the Western market. He's on the vanguard of a new trend in the genre, but one that eschews the traditional measures of success. People can't count box sales, Acclaim's games don't sit in Wal-Mart and there are no subscription numbers to speak of, the games are not only free to download, but free to play. Yet, despite their lack of press and sexy statistics, Acclaim and a half dozen other companies have carved out extremely profitable games that reach far more players than the average MMO people see on the shelf at GameStop.<br />CEO Howard Marks recently took the time to talk to us about his company, its four games and how they've helped bring variety to the business of MMOs in North America and Europe.<br />"[Our business model] is not yet, I would say, mainstream," Marks said.

It's a marketing buzz word that sounds great, but obviously doesn't mean Acclaim runs a charity organization. <br />"In general, people get the concep...
