Hello Kitty Online or acronym-ed (HKO) is the first and only official massively multiplayer online game (MMORPG) of Hello Kitty, Badtz-Maru, My Melody, Dear Daniel, Keroppi and the others! You adventure with thousands of other players and computer-controlled characters in a virtual world full of cuteness and kawaii. HKO provides a brand new experience in gaming with built-in social media like video sharing and blogs. HKO is free to play!

Full version will soon be with us now that HKO is on Open Beta Testing (OBT) stage already.

HKO or Hello Kitty Online is published by levelupgames.

It seems that MyGame’s flavor will stay more on FPS, eh?

We have already featured Cross Fire – Free Online FPS Game (way, way back) but not published by our local game companies.

Now, the questions is which of the two FPS online games will take on the Pinoy Gaming Hunger.

Levelupgames announced that they will still continue to publish and keep the game servers of the first Crazy Kart.

Here’s the mechanics on how to join the CBT (Closed Beta Testing)

How to join CBT
Mechanics are fairly simple. Just make sure you have a Crazy Kart account, download the CK2RBO client, and top up at least 100 bucks anytime from September 7 – October 7. That will automatically qualify you for a CK2RBO CBT pass.

There are two types of hero classes: Assassins and Generals. Assassins are the damage dealers, taking the fight with them while the Generals prefer to lead the army at a distance and provde support to the smaller units.

Generals also have the ability to summon their own minions to aid in battle. Other than that, both hero classes also have different playing styles. Assassins, which will rely mostly on point and click, are single hero units and provide the RPG element of the game while the Generals have the ability to manage the other units, which is the RTS element.

The game will be playable in both single and online multiplayer (2 – 10 players) modes. It will also feature multiple maps to fight on and a persistent upgrade system. Performing achievements in-game will give you points for use to upgrade or buy items and will not limit them for use in just one battle.
All in all, Demigod is looking to be a fresh game.

Demigod is slated for a Q1 2009 release.

Prepare for awesomeness! Storm of Zehir is the newest expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2, developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Atari. The expansion makes use of the new D&D 4th edition rules, which was released last June 2008. It features a number of improvements from the previous Neverwinter Nights games.

Set in the aftermath of the defeat of the King of Shadows (assuming you played the original campaign and MotB), Storm of Zehir is set in the middle of the shaken but recovering Sword Coast, where the economy is picking up slowly. Players can either join a trade syndicate and form a powerful trade empire, or travel the lands in search of treasure and adventure. Thanks to a non-linear and fully explorable map (full 3D), you can do whatever you want. Just make sure you are ready to face off against Zehir, the evil god that the serpentine Yuan-Ti worship.

Storm of Zehir has a number of cool features that will make your exploration of Faerûn more fresh and exciting.

A full 3D World Map. As you travel around in glorious 3D, previously useless skills such as Spot, Listen and Survival will come in handy, as long as you roll a Check that is high enough! Aside from these hidden threats, the game also features random encounters. These random encounters will allow players to choose whether they wish to avoid or engage in combat. When you encounter NPCs, a dialogue box will open presenting you with your options. Be warned though, if the NPC is hostile, they won’t settle for diplomacy!

A customizable party system. Tired of having to bear with pre-created NPCs for your party? SoZ allows you to create party members and customize them fully to your advantage. If you are too lazy, there are still pre-made characters available.

New races. All of the races from the previous Neverwinter Nights games will be returning, with the addition of more: the Gray Orc (think orc), and the Yuan-ti Pureblood.

New classes. SoZ features three new classes. Slash your way through monsters using the quick-footed and graceful Swashbuckler, vanquish the undead and necromancers alike with the prestige class Doomguide, or slay your foes mercilessly by playing with fire with the prestige class Hellfire Warlock. These new classes are sure to add a twist to the already dynamic combat mechanics.

Updated death and rest system. As if combat hasn’t changed enough, the developers have decided to change the way characters die. Unlike in older NWN games where characters will revive at the end of combat, SoZ features a more D&D like style of dying, where your character will die once your hit points drop to one-half of your total health. This encourages players to focus on combat more. Also, resting is different in SoZ, where you are required to rent a room or set up a tent in order to rest.

Whether you are a casual or a hardcore gamer, Storm of Zehir will really make your Neverwinter Nights gaming more intense.







Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir is set for release on November 18, 2008.

Joining the ranks of the Barbarian and the Witch Doctor, the Wizard is a rebuild of the original Diablos’ sorceress. In addition to being able to cast fire, frost and lightning spells (there’s no news whether they will still have that damn Frozen Orb), they can now control time. How cool is that, eh? They also seem to be able to cast spells of arcane nature such as magic missile.

Assuming that since Barbarians are now playable as females, players can now also play male versions of the wizard, as opposed to the old version’s female-only sorcerer. Although you have to admit, the sorceress was quite hot (or cool? Get it? Never mind.).


A gameplay trailer can be found on Blizzard’s Diablo 3 site. Comments on this class by other players range from average to poor – I myself don’t see a big difference from a wizard and a sorceress. Although having a new arsenal of spells under your disposal is pretty nifty, the wizard still lacks major changes for it to be called a new class. Let’s just hope that, for our sake and theirs, Blizzard will get the creative juices running (or flowing) before they begin work on another new class.

As of now, there is no news about the fourth class, or about Diablo 3′s release date, although many believe Blizzard’s target date to be the fourth quarter of 2009.
