Nexon America Inc. is adding a new dimension of game play to Mabinogi with the addition of pets as in-game companions. This exceptionally popular feature supplies players with an exciting new enhancement to Mabinogi's already massive offering of gaming features.

Players can choose from five new pets: a dog, two cats, a fox and a wolf. Players purchase a pet card through the Nexon Cash Shop and can personalize the pet by naming it. Pets run and attack faster than humans and have skills just like human characters, allowing pets to level up to improve attacks and skills.

Pre-order and downloading troubles for Machinarium (Machinarium)

16/10/2009

Gamers who have been eagerly awaiting the release of point-and-click adventure Machinarium are, in many cases, having to wait a little while longer to play their purchased copy.

Amanita Design's new release, which released via digital download channels and the developer's own website today, has proven so popular that excited players have managed to overload the server.

While those downloading the game through services such as Steam and GamersGate appear to be experiencing no problems, those who purchased directly from Amanita - which, on Wednesday, Resolution Magazine urged players to do, as the independent studio sees a higher profit as a result - have been facing error messages and intolerably slow download times - in some cases, as high as 11 hours for the roughly 350 megabyte game.

The problems arrive shortly after Amanita Design's announcement that some players may have to wait until the end of the weekend to receive their pre-ordered copies of the game.
