Are those in the Fallout games? If they are, then I might just have to buy them if only to see these references for myself. And who says that game developers have no sense of humour?

Yep, those two are from Fallout 2. There are a load of others but I really wouldn't want to ruin any more.

It's by Bethesda, right? And I'll guess at a PC game.

I'll have to look out for the game, then.

It's by Blackisle. I am aware there is a pack which can be got rather cheaply nowadays which has both games and the not as good, Tactics game.

Ah, OK. I know that Bethesda are making Fallout 3, so I thought they must have made the other two as well. Looks like they bought the licence instead, then.

Despite popular belief, quite a bit of WoW's user-base have never played a Blizzard title prior to their MMO. WoW's enigmatic popularity is really simple: it's ease-of-use and accessibility. Though hardcore WoW users will arbitrarily disagree, WoW is, generally speaking, a very simple game. As such it caters to a much wider audience. It's easy to fall into the mentality that its popularity is due to Blizzard being a popular PC developer, but after having played the game myself, you'll find quite a few people who've never experienced another one of their titles.

Guild Wars' popularity waned because of its limited end-game content, its very low level cap, and for the fact that, by normal definition, it's not really a traditional MMO. After you've completed the main campaign, the only thing the game offers the player is PvP. Hence, the individuals that continue to play the game, find this as its main draw. Unfortunately, the average MMO gamer doesn't always enjoy the PvP aspect, as it requires constantly learning of new tactics, buying better gear, and finding a team that plays consistently enough so that you fair well in the Arenas.

You'd never have guessed, but I love Guild Wars.

They've announced a fourth chapter, and a brand new game altogether. Beta testing for GW2 starts in Summer, and it should be released for Autumn 2008.

I enjoyed it myself. I beta tested the original and purchased the box when it hit the market, but got wrapped up playing another beta prior to the release, which fast became my vice for 3 entire years. If it hadn't been for that monster called Lineage 2, I'd probably have kept playing GW

Well, we'll just have to make sure that nothing pops along when you buy GW2, right?
