As you know, lately I've been deprived of my PS3(still no fix in sight) so I've begun looking to other places for my sports game fixes. Nearly a week ago a friend and I were looking around for an online hockey MMORPG that would allow us to create players, train them, manage them, etc. I happened to stumble onto one and we joined it, and it turned out to be a pretty good move. CyberPuck was just what we were looking for. Player creation and management, and also Team management, should one gather enough Cyber Points to buy a team.

The game goes much deeper than just making a character, giving him a position and then sending him out into the rough world of ice hockey. You can customize nearly everything about him. You can choose his initial stats, you can train him, buy equipment that also alters stats, as well as even tweaking the tactics he uses during a game, to change how he plays. My favorite part of the entire experience is the stat sheet after a game. You're able to see detailed stats and percentages of what your character did, didn't do, or needs to do better. I'm proud to say My goalie has blocked 44 out of 47 shots in his two game career. *swelled head* No, really though, its very fun, especially for people who feel like they could manage a player or a team better than a real life coach or GM. If you're into Hockey or just sim games in general, I'd recommend giving it a try. You might be surprised at how much you can get into something like this.

It's been a while! I was afraid that I was running out of addictions, but a new wave of them pretty much just washed over me like a tidal wave over a baby penguin! But let's dive right back into things with, what else, video games.

For about a year now I've been severely depressed with one of my MMO(Massively Multiplayer Online) portals, Nexon. They took down my absolute favorite driving game, Kart Racers. They have more than made up for it though. The subject of this post, while not a driving game and not nearly as quirky and speedy, is still awesomely fun and action packed. I'm talking about their new game, Dungeon Fighter Online, or DFO.

This game is pretty epic, I must say. Its like those old school side scrolling beat em up games, only its MMO, so there's thousands of people you can team up with (up to a party of 4) and take on these dungeons with. There's some good variety with the characters, starting with a base set of 5. Gunner(variety of guns), Slayer(sword), Fighter(fists), Priest(a giant cross(how bad-ass is that?)), and a Magician(magic obviously). From there each one of them can evolve to one of two classes, and after that, they get a choice of another two classes. It makes for a pretty fun play through to see all of them. There's dozens of dungeons and enemies to fight so it'll be quite a long time before you get bored with exploring them all. Overall I think its one of my favorite MMO action games that I've played. I'm glad I stumbled onto it.
