E3 First Impression: Wakfu

Wakfu LogoGAME:
Wakfu

DEVELOPER:
Ankama Studio

PUBLISHER:
Square Enix

PLATFORM:
PC / Mac

RELEASE DATE:
2011

GENRE:
Turn-based tactical MMORPG

DESCRIPTION:
A cute, anime-looking RPG game.

THOUGHTS:
It looks great on the giant iMac screens. I like that the characters are so adorable. Apparently there's an extensive amount of back-story here.

Good tutorial for introducing MMO mechanics to people who may never have played one. Spells level up individually, so you don't have to choose a particular build right out of the gate... that seems to be fashionable nowadays.

I like that you can attack and kill pretty much anything, although, honestly, who wants to kill harmless, innocent forest creatures? [That's a joke. See my recent Flash project.]

No real surprises here -- you probably can tell from the screenshots whether this is your type of game or not.

"Featured" on BBC's Click Podcast

I was "featured" on the BBC's Click podcast this week (f.k.a. Digital Planet).

Click is a splendid little weekly technology news programme. To listen to it, do one of the following:

a) Subscribe to or download the podcast from the iTunes store. An iTunes Store search for "bbc click" should get you there. (This is the proper way to listen to podcasts.)

b) Click on one of these HTML links:
