Videogame Concept Art

I am a sucker for gaming art books so I thought it’d be an idea to summarise some useful information I have gathered on the subject into one post. This is coming from the perspective of a fan here, apologies to any art/gaming students/professionals who disagree with my ramblings. Also note that while there shouldn’t [...]

Exploring Guild Wars Eye of the North

This weekend was the ‘sneak peak’ for the new Guild Wars expansion- The Eye of the North. Basically the opening area of the new campaign was unlocked for those that pre-ordered the game, so we could start playing a week before the official release. Of course this meant I took screen shots. Lots of [...]

How Guild Wars works

Another update

So I’ve been slow to update again, resulting in the state of limbo so often seen on abandoned websites across the Internet.

In short, I have completed Jade Empire, of which the final battles were the first genuine challenge of the whole game.

I have now started playing the free-to-play MMO Guild Wars. I clocked [...]

Postcards from the Jade Empire

Some screenshots of my travels so far. Yes I know its one in the morning, the game is strangely addictive.

Jade Empire

The other day I ordered Jade Empire Special Edition which was recently released for the PC. I have a great respect for the Bioware, the developers who also created (in my opinion) the greatest RPG of them all: Baldur’s Gate II. After hearing some positive things about Jade Empire I picked it up. It [...]
