Xbox bits

Posted by Sean "Elysium" Sands –
A few items I noticed over at GamespyDaily this morning regarding Microsoft's console.  A bit of good news, and bit of bad, I suppose.  First, it appears that Phantasy Star Online will be making an Xbox debut in North America and Europe by the end of March.  A pretty saavy move for a system that may very well find a core audience through its strong multiplayer online component.  A few popular

Caught this news item over at Gamespot.  Apparently, the next big expansion for online juggernaut Everquest, The Legacy of Ykesha, will be available only through download, and not on retailer shelves.  Including a new playable race, the Frogloks, and a series of zones designed for the mid to high level player, it is not clear as of now when Ykesha is expected to go live, but for the rabid fan, you

Is there anything more appealing than a game with a purposely miss-spelled title? Lejendary Adventures is an upcoming MMORPG that claims originality but will probably focus on "mixing Everquest up a bit" like the rest of them. It's pretty though, you gotta give them that.

Try To Act Surprised

Warcraftiii.net is reporting that the next issue of Computer Gaming World will reveal a planned expansion to Blizzard's Warcraft 3.  Considering Blizzard's outstanding track record and continued support of released games, the question was never if they would work on an expansion, but what they would name it.  Thus, we can reveal that it will likely be called Warcraft III: The Frozen Thro

Valve Software is ramping up for the latest Counter-Strike update, version 1.6, which should be available this Thursday, January 16.  As problematic CS: Condition Zero fumbles from one developer to the next, the original Half-Life mod continues to sustain Valve's delusion that they are a viable development house.
