Cryptic’s New Star Trek MMO… Boldly Going Nowhere

I’ve had Star Trek Online MMORPG from Cryptic Studios now for a week and I’ve already canceled my free 30 day subscription. The game was awful! Age of Conan was more finished.

First, it took me literally hours to download and install all of the patches that didn’t get included on the disc. HOURS. It’s not that my connection was slow, I’ve read the same on the internet from other p...

Cryptic Studios Unveils Exploration Trailer & Fees for Star Trek Online MMO

It's really no secret that Griz and I are major Star Wars fans. What you might not know is that I'm also a pretty big Star Trek: The Next Generation fan (and of the new movie!). Not quite a Trekker, but close. I've been hearing rumblings about Star Trek Online for months now and have been getting some screenshots here and there. From what I've seen so far, I'm was getting excited to try this game out. Taking place many years after our last encounter with the ST:TNG timeline, the Klingon Empi...
