OGPlanet Running Halloween Promotion In La Tale (La Tale)

Oct 26, 2008

WorldsinMotion: "The last time we mentioned OGPlanet's side-scrolling MMO La Tale it was in mid-September after the title launched -- and they announced that prepaid game cards for the title would be available in Blockbuster.

Since then the title has been rumbling along in its position as (perhaps) the most direct competitor to MapleStory currently available, and now OGPlanet has announced that they are running, throughout the month of October, "Beast Bingo" -- an unusual promotion where players must take screenshots of their character standing with 25 different monsters (thankfully, one at a time) and then arrange those in a 5x5 grid."

Jul 15, 2009

Gamervision reports: "Back at E3 we really enjoyed playing Riot Games' League of Legends: Clash of Fates. It played a lot like Defense of the Ancients, but with a level of user-friendliness that DotA couldn't hope to reach.

Left 4 Dead Online Friends Appearing in Sequel, Linking Confirmed? (Left 4 Dead)

Oct 30, 2009

HellDescent writes: "While playing the Left 4 Dead 2 demo, we noticed that our friends who were playing the original Left 4 Dead were showing up in in the main menu. Now why would players from the original Left 4 Dead have their online status displayed in Left 4 Dead 2? The only thing that comes to mind is the rumor/experimenting with linking the games that was on the web not too long ago. Valve aimed to bring both sides of Left 4 Dead fans together and stated they were attempting to link the 2 games. This little message under "Online Friends" in the main menu of Left 4 Dead 2 gives much the rumor a big tank sized injection of reality. Hopefully this means we wont have to leave Bill, Zoey, Francis and Louise behind. Only Valve and their super big vault of secrets now that answer. For now, we will have to wait a few more weeks to full release."
