Black Gold Online is a very pretty new Steam-punk/Fantasy MMORPG with fast paced gameplay, massive enemies, huge battles and Mechs.
It seems like a lot of fun, but don’t just take our word for it, check out what Canadian punk-pop pixie Avril Lavigne has to say about it in this rather odd promo video for the Asian release. To be honest, we don’t have a clue what “Desired Black Gold, the double temptation” means, we’re guessing it means “We’ve paid you a s**t load of money and couldn’t afford a decent translator, just read the F***ing script Avril”.
Anyway, the game genuinely does looks like a lot of fun, with plenty of customisation options, Dwarfs, Giants, Vampires, large scale battles, Mechs and lots of vehicles, all wrapped up in a beautiful steam-punk/fantasy setting. As Avril says “That’s a new world we are waiting for!”

Update: Black Gold online is now in OPEN BETA, Come and join Avril and claim a fee gift pack!

It’s a nice looking game with an interesting blend of game styles, and the asteroid bases look very cool. The game has just gone into Open Beta for North America and Europe. All Beta test participants will receive special rewards at launch, including extra in-game currency and other high-priced virtual items.

It’s a good looking game, with a fun Anime graphical style, full of buxom ladies and crazy costumes. There’s a wide variety of weaponry, powers and skills to unlock, that will have to be seleected tactically as a lot of the monsters have specific weaknesses. It’s best played with others, but although it’s an MMO, you’re free to play on your own if you don’t fancy partnering up with friends.

The Beta test is for the PC version, but it’s already been released for PS4 in Japan and will most likely be seeing a PS4 release in the West. Players who take part in the Beta test will recieve special bonuses, such as EXP and Money boosts, as well as some ‘Soul Eggs’ for when your party is in a tight spot.

War Thunder has just started it’s Open Beta for Ground Forces – a tank based expansion for it’s hugely popular aerial combal MMO.

At the moment, tanks can’t fight in the same battles as planes (although during the testing period it will be possible occasionally) as the developers are keen to not fully integrate the two until they’re 100% happy with it. However, if you’re dying for some land to air combat, you can always access it through the ‘custom battle’ options.

Tanks are a welcome addition to the world of War Thunder. Although they can’t fly, they’re a bit slow and they’re rubbish at doing barrel rolls, they’ve got some kick-ass weaponry and they’re great fun to drive. Also, as you can see from the in-game footage above, it looks fantastic, full of explosions and carnage. War Thunder is free-to-play war sim just got better – Tanks for nothing.

Monkey King Online can be enjoyed solo, but features a host of robust multiplayer modes, including team dungeons, PvP combat, competitive Arena play, and territorial Guild versus Guild battles.

It’s a good looking game with a rather silly storyline, vibrant characters and the interesting ability to transform into powerful deities during battle. New deities (immortals) are added each month, so should help to keep the gameplay fresh.
