PK Warcry Contest
2009-09-26
Yeah, you heard that right. Thanks to a nameless, faceless, grief-mongering capitalist sponsor (probably controlled by a boardroom of lawyers and/or a guy in a suit with a cigar) we are able to offer everyone the unique opportunity to win a gigantic Best Buy gift certificate to the tune of $5,000. Yeah, three zeroes. You could get a plasma TV with that, and have enough left over to get another one for the bathroom.
Entering is simple - all you have to do is take a bit of time to fill out a quiz. If you're one of the most impressive Griefers, you'll move to the second stage, which will be controlled via the official Pocket Kingdom rankings on the N-Gage Arena. To get started, check out all the rules and enter at the World's Greatest Griefer Contest home page.
Here's the official PR release:

Overhype
2009-09-18
How many times have you followed a game for multiple years, only to be thoroughly disappointed by the game when it finally entered beta or launched? I’ve done this far too many times. Seriously, far too many times. I can’t even count the number of times this has happened to me on one hand.
I blame overhype. The game gets announced years in advance. How many years? Sometimes it’s on the order of 4+ years before they plan to release the game. “They,” meaning the publisher or developer responsible for announcing the game so early on in its development.
A little information is given immediately–enough to get some of us interested. They give us the genre, some of the main features, and generally a bit of the background story. I, being a fan of everything fantasy and science-fiction, tend to then seek out all the information I possibly can with every single MMO that gets announced (because just about every MMO that exists falls into one of those categories).
So I spend time researching all there is to know about the game, I jump on the forums for the game, heck, I even used to make fansites for the games. Slowly but surely, information is revealed abou...
