Issue 69: PAX East is over and thus the news slows down. I mean all the great new information was already unveiled last weekend so there isn’t much to talk about that will usurp all the residual buzz. I tried to put together a few articles for your Easter weekend.
The first SWTOR expansion has an official release date (and don’t forget that this weekend is another double XP weekend), a new Turbine title related to the DC Universe, Runescape 3 and Neverwinter news and more! Check it out!
Dragon Eternity: A Cross-Platform MMO

The iPad version is free, I have downloaded and I will give it a shot. I can do a write later after I get an impression of what its like.
