There have been plenty of good vibes coming out of those that are playing World of Tanks. With World of Warplanes and World of Battleships now on the horizon this franchise looks like one of the hottest newcomers in a very long time. I haven’t played WoT, but I have only heard good things from those that have.
Star Wars The Old Republic remains the big dog on the porch and though they are flexing their muscles at PAX Prime they also did some weight lifting at gamescom. Check out the Razer Peripheral video, which includes a large LCD screen and fully customizable keyboard, meaning you can swap keys around. They keyboard is of course, Star Wars themed. The mouse that Razer was showing off has a changeable faction plate, but otherwise seemed much like a Razer Naga.
In other news, the EA and Steam spat continues on. EA had already pulled Crysis 2 and Dragon Age II from the Steam store, but apparently now Battlefield 3 will not be available to Steam users upon launch.
Do you use Steam? If so, what percentage of your game purchases are through the Steam service? I know personally that it drives me nuts when my Internet happens to be down and Steam won’t let me play a game that I bought.
What are your thoughts?
As always, you can contact me a number of ways:

Gamescom 2011 is in the record books now. We sent Jeff and Ben to provide lots of great exclusive coverage (some of which is still headed your way as they write their little fingers to the bone). Of the new MMOG announcements (like Wildstar), the news on upcoming MMOGs (including beta and launch plans), interviews, hands-on previews and more...what got your gamer blood pumping?
Tell us! Inquiring minds want to know.
We're working on a full-featured World of Warcraft database to accompany PlayerScore. For now, we've just cracked the door open to give you a peek at what's to come.
