How many of you PC oldsters out there hear the word Tribes and immediately start to reminisce about the hours upon hours spent playing and battling your opponents? Yeah, me too…and it looks like we’ll have the chance again in the near future.
The rights to the Tribes franchise were just recently sold to Hi-Rez Studios, who are a developer for Global Agenda, and they’re promising that the game will sport up to 100 players per match and will take place in huge outdoor maps in a full and persistent world.
The guys are currently stating that they will be building the game using the Unreal Engine (which can do extremely well in the right hands) and is slated to go alpha sometime in the early part of 2011. All I can say is, sign me up. I need this game like nobody’s business.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
