Xbox One achievements dynamic, not limited to single games
Microsoft has given details on some of the revisions to achievements in the Xbox One.
33D Realms. Wow. Practically every other game I played when I first got into video games was a 3D Realms title, so they're an intrinsic part of PC gaming as I know it. Surreal.
In sunnier news, I'm excited about the upcoming StarCraft 2 beta. Nick badgered me into playing StarCraft recently and it seems we've finally found a game he's better at than me. Hopefully SC2's changes throw him off enough for me to win at least one round.
What is Evony?
Evony (they changed the name from Civony last night, possibly due to copyright issues) is a web-based MMO with a slick Flash interface. Kind of like the Ikariam game some folks played after we finished with Urban Dead a few years ago, but with much higher production values.
Does This Game Suck Like Ikariam?
We're not sure yet, but it looks purdy and so far it's been a fun way to pass the time. We'll see how that holds up once our seven days of newbie protection expire.
How Do I Get Started?
Go to http://www.evony.com and sign up (Server 5, in the state of Morovia is where we're playing). Just so you know, you'll need to upgrade to a Level 2 Town Hall and build an Embassy before you can join the Shaqnews alliance. But initially, focus on finishing the basic quests (look for the Quests icon in the lower-left corner) to get familiar with the interface, and build one of each resource fields (farm, lumber, stone, iron) to boost your production a bit early.
