Read on to find out!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h3>In this post we will cover:</h3>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Orcs</li>\n\t<li>Elves</li>\n\t<li>Giants</li>\n\t<li>Dwarves</li>\n\t<li>Skin-Walkers</li>\n\t<li>Necromancers</li>\n\t<li>The Undead</li>\n\t<li>Witches</li>\n\t<li>Dragons</li>\n\t<li>Noble Humans</li>\n</ol>\n\n<h2>1. Orcs</h2>\n\n<p>Orcs have been prevalent fantasy characters within many mythologies throughout human history. Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, described orcs as an enormous mass of flesh armed with teeth. In a more modern context, it was Tolkien who most influenced their depictions through his famed high fantasy adventure series.</p>\n\n<p>Amongst the fantasy characters available, Orcs are mostly used as high-strength and low-intelligence brutes of RPG characters. This makes them well-suited to tank or damage rolls, where they take the front lines to fight in a melee. That said, some Orc leaders buck the trend. These standouts can become thoughtful leaders and adept mages, though warriors are still the most common orc roles.</p>\n\n<h2>2. Elves</h2>\n\n<p>It’s strange to think of fantasy RPG characters, but many people associate elves with the fabled creatures that make presents at the North Pole. For gamers, elves often represent a near opposite of their Santa-based counterparts when it comes to fantasy characters.</p>\n\n<p>Game elves are usually tall, beautiful beings that are both intelligent and in touch with magic and nature.</p>\n\n<p>Most Elves in gaming dedicate themselves to long-distance combat. Here they use bows as archers, and magic as mages to support the stronger physical forms of other fantasy characters. In more direct combat, Elves can also take the form of assassins. Elves on this path use daggers in a fighting style that emphasizes agility and quick strikes over brute force alone.</p>\n\n<h2>3. Giants</h2>\n\n<p>Across the world of mythologies, giants range from destructive to wise, aggressive to calm. They take so many forms in so many stories that a fantasy RPG can do almost whatever they want with the creature.</p>\n\n<p>In <a href=\"/en/games/\">video games</a>, implementing Giants in games with other fantasy characters can be problematic due to their size. For this reason, they are often relegated to support as summon attacks, or NPCs in areas where size isn't a concern.</p>\n\n<p>When they are playable, their raw strength and Health Points (HP) make them a valuable tank or warrior unit, even in small numbers.</p>\n\n<h2>4. Dwarves</h2>\n\n<p>While almost always diminutive and mountain-dwelling, dwarves also take multiple forms throughout mythology. Probably the most recognized depiction is from Germanic mythology. As fantasy characters, they are expert miners, smithies, crafters, and boast tremendous wisdom.</p>\n\n<p>As playable fantasy characters, Dwarves usually have high stamina and HP, making them great as tank fantasy characters. They might not have the strength of orcs or the HP of giants, but their tenacity in combat makes them indispensable. Just don't challenge them to drinking contests.</p>\n\n<h2>5. Skin-Walkers</h2>\n\n<p>Skin-walker is a term given to humans who can shape-shift into, or possess, animals, the most famous of which is the werewolf. Noted in folklore all over the world, skin-walkers reflect the human fear of animal instincts.</p>\n\n<p>While rare in gaming, skin-walkers usually have some unique attributes which can give them a serious edge. Often this involves changing form in direct combat. Such surprises can turn them from puny humans into powerful Damage Per Second (DPS) warrior classes who can quickly take less-prepared foes by surprise.</p>\n\n<h2>6. Necromancers</h2>\n\n<p>Necromancers are users of dark and evil magic who can summon and control the dead in spirit or by raising corpses. Recognized since the ancient Greek Homer penned the epic poem, The Odyssey, Necromancer morality is always in question.</p>\n\n<p>A favorite with fantasy RPG characters and series, necromancers often act as indirect DPS magic classes supported by powerful spells.</p>\n\n<p>Though they can be powerful fighters in their own rights, necromancers set themselves apart by summoning hordes of skeletons, golems, or other mythological creatures to fight for them.</p>\n\n<h2>7. The Undead</h2>\n\n<p>The undead fantasy characters of RPG titles are often the minions of dark and powerful beings. Yet, some of the best video game characters that come under the undead category aren’t mindless minions.</p>\n\n<p>Ingame, undead are usually balanced by the dichotomy of their physiology.</p>\n\n<p>Mostly used as front-line fighters, an undead character might not have the highest health or damage, but their reanimated bodies can often resist pain or other negative status effects. After all, creatures don't have to worry about drowning if they don't have lungs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">8. Witches</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Featured in folklore across Europe and North America, the average witches are creatures who can be as enticing as they are dangerous. Often depicted as women, they are generally evil beings or those that have been cast out by society.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Powered by dark magic, witches are usually demonized as unnaturally powerful. Witches are complex as fantasy characters, sometimes existing as fantasy characters, other times acting as an archetype adopted by other fantasy characters.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bolstered by magic, witches can act as healers and support through spells and potions, fling magic attacks from afar, or even boost their physical abilities in direct combat. This can give them a lot of flexibility in roles like DPS spellcasters, though they rarely act as tanks.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">9. Dragons</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dragons take many different forms in mythology and are common across European and Asian mythos. While Asian dragons tend to be more serpentine than most European depictions, they all spawn from humanity’s innate fear of snakes and similar dangerous reptiles.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like giants, dragons are difficult to implement as playable RPG characters due to their size. When they do appear, they can often become hybrids of DPS and tank units, relying on flight and fire to give their playstyle flexibility. Acting as both melee fighters and spellcasters, dragons are power companions in and out of combat.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">10. Noble Humans</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Creatures of myth often go hand-in-hand with a noble human tasked with killing them. From ancient Greek mythology to the tales of the middle-ages, great beasts of myth almost always meet their demise at the hands of a noble, often male, hero.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When playable as characters, humans are often the most flexible of all RPG characters. As a jack of all trades and master of none, they can fit into any of the holy trinity fantasy characters equally well.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While they might not have the special abilities of the more dedicated fantasy characters, their capacity for mixing strengths can give them unique combinations of skills that others might lack.</p>\n","date":"1/6/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_09.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13329"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/what-makes-a-game-an-rgp/"},"strings":{"title":"A Look at RPG Games Online: What Makes a Game an RPG?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p><a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a> are one of the longest standing and most popular genres available. Today, millions of players enjoy RPG games online, and offline RPG games also draw significant attention.</p>\n\n<p>So what exactly are RPG games, and what makes RPGs so popular?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-rpg-games?\">What are RPG Games?</h2>\n\n<p>RPG stands for role-playing game. These are games which tend to be heavily story-based and have a player taking a specific part, or role.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-makes-a-game-an-rpg?\">What Makes a Game an RPG?</h2>\n\n<p>In general terms, a game is an RPG if your team or character follows an overarching quest. Playing this quest typically involves leveling up, fighting enemies, and navigating important menu systems.</p>\n\n<p>RPG games are a wide genre covering a huge range of themes, which can make them hard to define. A big part of this comes from the fact that many types of games are now incorporating RPG elements.<br />\nThis is done because RPG games give a strong emphasis on progression. A longer game aids the feeling of accomplishment, which can make you feel more attached to a character or team.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-traditional-rpg-game?\">What is a traditional RPG game?</h2>\n\n<p>The more traditional games in this genre are fantasy RPG games. These are illustrated by early Nintendo Entertainment System series such as Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior. With these games, you fight an overwhelming evil force together with your party. Sometimes you control one main character within this party, other times you are given the entire party to follow.</p>\n\n<p>In these early games, combat is usually turn-based, randomly encountered, and placed on a separate field. Players select which moves to take from menus, including a range of physical, ranged, healing, and magical abilities. Once you win a battle, you are given experience and loot drops, and then brought back to the world map or dungeon screen.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-popular-rpg-games-in-real-life?\">What are the Most Popular RPG Games in Real Life?</h2>\n\n<p>Real-life RPGs are most commonly illustrated by tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons. This is a longstanding multiplayer RPG series dating back to 1974. Within this game, you use dice rolls and character statistic sheets to decide player guided outcomes.</p>\n\n<p>Just as with video games, players within real-life RPGs earn gear, level up, and become more powerful over time. Every few years these systems are overhauled, such as the D&D 5th Edition, which was released in 2014.<br />\nThere is currently a wide range of different <a href=\"/en/games/category/popular-games/\">popular tabletop RPG games</a> available. These include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Dungeons and Dragons (all editions)</li>\n\t<li>Shadowrun</li>\n\t<li>Call of Cthulhu</li>\n\t<li>Vampire: The Masquerade</li>\n\t<li>Star Wars</li>\n\t<li>Pathfinder</li>\n\t<li>Warhammer</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>These aren’t just tied to the idea of mages and magic. Some, like Shadowrun, involve cyberpunk. Others, like Call of Cthulhu and Vampire: The Masquerade take a more horrific aesthetic. There are even those which abandon the tabletop altogether, instead taking part in costume and in a more active manner. These are called LARPs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-larp?\">What is a LARP?</h2>\n\n<p>LARP stands for Live Action Role-Play. Players of these games meet in person in private or public places to add more live-action to their role-play experiences. This typically involves costumes, mock combat, and long periods of staying in character.<br />\nAs with tabletop games, these can cover many different subgenres. Classic LARP games revolve around fantasy, romance, and even real history.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-varied-are-new-rpg-games?\">How Varied are New RPG Games?</h2>\n\n<p>As many forms of gaming adopt RPG mechanics or inspiration, the genre has grown and evolved. If you want to play an RPG in 2019 you could find many different subgenre hybrids, including the following:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"action-rpgs\">Action RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>These are games with combat which is more focused on real-time action. <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">In an action RPG</a>, you might control your character's movement and attacks whenever in combat. Outside of combat, you could still level up, change and equip skills, and otherwise, rely on in-depth menu systems.</p>\n\n<p>These are usually played in a third-person perspective.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"collectible-rpgs\">Collectible RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Collectible RPGs are a form rapidly gaining steam as RPG mobile games, though they have existed long before smartphones. Pokemon was a strong early example of this, as collecting a powering up a team was a huge part of the game. In more recent terms, many games have found massive success on the mobile front. These focus on building yourself a powerful small team, improving their gear, and fighting PVP and PVE battles.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What makes a game an RPG?\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg \" style=\"width: 600px; height: 400px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"tactical-rpgs\">Tactical RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Tactical RPGs tend to present a top-down or isometric perspective within battles. Here, you will need to move your characters around certain tiles or areas to gain a positional advantage. These usually give players a set amount of moves in a round, in a turn-based fashion.</p>\n\n<p>These are just a few of the current popular RPG subgenres available. Often these borrow heavily from each other, which can make it difficult to ascribe them to just one subtype. Sometimes it can be best to consider RPG games as many genres together. This can be confusing, but it can also be the only way categorize them accurately.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-popular-rpg-video-games?\">What are the Most Popular RPG Video Games?</h2>\n\n<p>The most popular RPG video games at this time include The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Skyrim, and World of Warcraft. These can be difficult to ascribe to one particular genre. Generally, we take the most central mechanics when labeling them.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"old-school-rpgs\">Old-school RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Despite their modern trappings, games like Persona 5 and Skyrim are still heavily steeped in classical RPG standards. Both of these involve going on large quests, slaying demons and monsters, and facing seemingly impossible odds.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mmorpgs\">MMORPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Standing for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, MMORPGs have been very popular since the early internet. World of Warcraft has been the most popular of these for over a decade, but it is not the only successful game. Final Fantasy 14, despite a rocky start, also now boasts over a million active subscriptions.</p>\n\n<p>MMORTS' are another sub-genre that take the best features from MMORPGs and apply them to a strategic setting in order to appeal to a different audience with Vikings: War of Clans being a well-known example of this.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"action-rpgs\">Action RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Action RPGs have been finding a lot of success recently, and are still on the rise. Looking at RPG 2019 releases, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has been immensely popular, despite its notable difficulty. Longtime RPG fans are also looking forward to the Final Fantasy 7 remake, which is slated for release in 2020. This marks one of the more obvious instances of action RPG evolution, as the original Final Fantasy 7 was a traditional Japanese RPG.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-does-the-future-of-rpg-games-look-like?\">What Does the Future of RPG Games Look Like?</h2>\n\n<p>With more games borrowing more from RPG’s every year, we have to wonder what the future will look like. If the current trajectory holds, anticipate many mainstream games leaning on RPG mechanics for longevity. If not in <a href=\"/en/blog/single-player/\">single-player</a>, then expect <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer </a>components to become more RPG-centric in their offerings.</p>\n","date":"12/23/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg "},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13326"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mmo-racing-games/"},"strings":{"title":"What are MMO Racing Games?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>There are very few genres in gaming that can match the excitement and thrills offered by racing games.

Many titles also feature mini-game options to make the experience more rounded.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>When did Racing Games Start?</h2>\n\n<p>Not many sports are as thrilling and competitive as racing, so it is unsurprising that racing games have been popular in video gaming since the very beginning. </p>\n\n<p>Released all the way back in 1974, Gran Trak 10 by Atari is widely regarded by experts as the first example of a racing video game. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The possibilities of Racing MMOs could be mindboggling\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/21_Money.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In the decades since, racing games have taken on many forms with some focusing on more action-packed elements and others attempting to create an authentic, realistic simulation of driving specific cars. </p>\n\n<p>However, whether it is Need for Speed, F1 or Gran Turismo, they all have one thing in common – exciting racing action.</p>\n\n<p>The omnipresence of the internet has opened up new possibilities in terms of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer</a> options for racing, giving players the chance to challenge themselves against top drivers from across the world. </p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, it has led to the creation of open-world racing games, where there is fun to be had away from the track, across a wide variety of terrains.</p>\n\n<h2>How can you play MMO racing games?</h2>\n\n<p>Online racing games are available across a range of platforms from consoles to <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile</a>, but the same rules tend to apply to playing them. To get involved in the action, you need to:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Select the game you want to play</li>\n\t<li>Download the app or visit the website</li>\n\t<li>Register your personal details</li>\n\t<li>Get racing!</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>MMO racing titles feature an array of payment models including subscriptions, but it is also common to find free racing games, too. </p>\n\n<p>Be aware though that these often follow the free-to-play structure, which means that while you get initial access for no cost, you may have to spend money to boost your gameplay or make changes to your vehicle.</p>\n\n<h2>What are the top MMO racing games?</h2>\n\n<p>A number of exciting MMO racing games have come and gone down the years. For example, EA brought the Need for Speed franchise into this area with Need for Speed World, although the Microsoft Windows title was only in operation from 2010 to 2015.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMO Racing is exciting!\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/30.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"MMO Race Car Driver\" /></p>\n\n<p>Other notable MMO open world racing games include the TrackMania series, with Ubisoft claiming its TrackMania Forever title is the most popular online racing game for PC in history, with more than 16 million registered drivers. </p>\n\n<p>Another major name in this area is iRacing, a subscription-based game endorsed by professional drivers that offers players the chance to enjoy a range of events and realistic driving experiences in a number of vehicles.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Are there MMO racing eSports? </h2>\n\n<p>While the world of eSports tends to be dominated by other forms of MMO gaming like <a href=\"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/\">MOBA</a> titles such as League of Legends, MMO racing titles are increasingly getting a foothold in the ever-growing field of competitive spectator gaming.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Racing MMos as a part of eSports\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/19_Strong.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The iRacing eSports Network on YouTube, for example, broadcasts a range of races featuring some of the best talent involved in the game, while the iRacing eSports World Championships feature six series and a total cash prize pool of $100,000. </p>\n\n<p>It's clear that iRacing is, at least for now, the focus when it comes to MMO racing eSports.</p>\n\n<p>While that level of prize money may mean MMO racing lags behind some of the bigger eSports in a financial sense, the genre is more than a match when it comes to adrenalin-fuelled excitement.</p>\n\n<h2>Going mobile with your MMO racing</h2>\n\n<p>MMO gaming is often associated with PCs - yet, as we touched upon earlier, MMO racing can be enjoyed across a range of platforms.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMO racing games on mobile\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/31.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"Mobile racing\" /></p>\n\n<p>Open world racing games have grown on smartphone and tablets, as the technological capabilities of the devices evolve. A notable example is Hutch Games’ Race Kings title, which is particularly popular on both iOS and Android, offering gamers the chance to participate in live events against opponents matched to meet their skill level.</p>\n\n<h2>What is the future of MMO racing?</h2>\n\n<p>All of the signs point towards virtual reality becoming the next big thing in MMO racing.</p>\n\n<p>VR is an area that gaming as a whole is exploring more and more and it is already making an impact on racing games in general. </p>\n\n<p>Titles like Project Cars 2 and Assetto Corsa now feature virtual reality modes which mean players have the chance to feel like they are well and truly behind the wheel of the vehicles they are driving.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Tired MMO gamer\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/7_Gamer.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In addition, with emerging titles like Orbus VR bringing a virtual reality twist to fantasy MMO gaming, it seems like it is only a matter of time until MMO racing games take that step too.</p>\n\n<h2>Discover a whole new world with MMO racing</h2>\n\n<p>Racing is a sport which has always been a natural fit for gaming and it remains as popular as ever. Combining the genre with MMO elements has opened gamers up to a whole new world and given them a chance to compete against rivals across the globe.</p>\n\n<p>Whether you are an experienced racer or an MMO fan seeking a new challenge, online racing games can give you a chance to enjoy life in the fast lane.</p>\n","date":"9/3/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/5_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13318"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/youtube-gaming-channels/"},"strings":{"title":"Top YouTube Gaming Channels","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"720000","description":"<p>YouTube currently dominates social media, and maybe additional platforms in the near future.

MMG has achieved it through passion and hard work.

Studies, according to iD Tech, have found that gaming improves hand-eye coordination and cognitive skills. And Bufarete has already explained how the YouTube community can be an outlet for emotions, not to mention comedic talents. It’s a way to share excitement and frustration, as well as meet people from across the globe as passionate about games as you.</p>\n\n<p>Bufarete’s 86,720 total subscribers may be lower than the YouTubers already mentioned. But that doesn’t stop millions of viewers tuning in to watch him laugh his way through Clash Royale.

However, the most common route into the games is:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Choose the game for you;</li>\n\t<li>Download the app or head to the website;</li>\n\t<li>Register with the service;</li>\n\t<li>Get playing!</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What is a MMORTS?\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week1/images/3.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The general premise of MMORTS games sees you build up a base using a range of resources, including an in-game currency, before then looking to expand. This may be by engaging with opponents in battle or even joining forces with them to conquer others. </p>\n\n<p>While many of the games are free-to-play, you should bear in mind that they do tend to offer you the chance to access further features, benefits and bonuses using cash.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Some MMORTS are f2p while most do feature in-game purchases\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/26.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>A history of MMORTS gaming</h2>\n\n<p>As we have already touched upon, the history of online strategy games can be traced back to the traditional real-time strategy genre.</p>\n\n<p>It is widely accepted that this type of gaming emerged at the start of the 1980s with titles like Utopia, although it reached a new level of popularity with the release of Dune II in the 1990s.</p>\n\n<p>Real-time strategy remains a hugely popular area, but its combination with MMO gaming in the past decade or so has seen it reach an incredible number of people across several key platforms.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>What are the most notable MMORTS games?</h2>\n\n<p>Among the best strategy games available today is Clash of Clans, which was first released by Supercell in 2012, but has grown to be a gaming phenomenon. Six years on from its launch, the mobile game remains lucrative with analysts estimating that it still generates around $1.5 million a day.</p>\n\n<p>In contrast, a game like Edgeworld has a more futuristic outlook and allows you to blast off into space for adventures.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMORTS games are quite unique\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/27.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Playing MMORTS games on mobile</h2>\n\n<p>One of the real joys of war strategy games is that they offer a flexibility you do not often get in gaming. As MMORTS titles tend to be browser strategy games or app-based, you can easily log in and get involved in the action whether you are sat at a PC or using a smartphone or tablet.</p>\n\n<p>Mobile gaming has grown in the past decade or so from being a casual pastime to a serious part of the gaming world and Clash of Clans and other MMORTS titles have been fundamental to that change.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Mobile Gaming & MMORTS Games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/11_Mobile.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>MMORTS games and eSports</h2>\n\n<p>The world of professional gaming – known as eSports – has grown massively in the past decade or so with the very best players doing battle on a range of titles to win a share of some significant levels of prize money.</p>\n\n<p>It is a world where MMO gaming has made a significant impact, particularly through MOBA titles like League of Legends and Dota 2. But what about MMORTS games?</p>\n\n<p>A growing number of competitions are being held in relation to titles like Clash of Clans, but it is safe to say there is a long way to go until online strategy games reach the heights of the biggest titles in eSports.

It was a type of recorder, therefore it would of had holes drilled into its side that would enable it to be blown into and notes created depending on which holes were covered at the time.</p>\n\n<p>One example of a cow’s horn was found in Västerby, Sweden.

Carved on a small piece of wood from the 14th century, found in Denmark, the first bars of an ancient song can be read; \"I Dreamed a Dream\"</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lirMtNJHKPU\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This song was written in runes in a manner that was typical of this age in time, however it is believe that this song was not new at all, but was rather one that was passed down from one generation to the next, as was typical.</p>\n\n<p>It is believe to be a line from an ancient Viking song. Thus highlighting one little fragment of the history surrounding the mysterious Viking music.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"war-chants-in-viking-culture\">War Chants in Viking Culture</h2>\n\n<p>Viking war music would have included numerous chants in which their warriors would sing in unity to strike both fear and dread into the hearts of their opponents. The Vikings were skilled warriors and the war chant was a way of showing strength and coordination to your foes.</p>\n\n<p>As with Viking music in general, no known ancient Viking war chants are known today, but still it is something to this very day that is being practiced. The latest example of this is the <em>“Viking Thunder Clap”</em>, which was performed by Iceland after their victory over England in 2006, then again during the<strong> FIFA 2018 World Cup.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/bpyD7imdllU\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is a modern day example of a “war chant” proving that old traditions still live on, even if the specifics are lost.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"viking-music-in-pop-culture\">Viking Music in Pop Culture</h2>\n\n<p>Even though much of the Viking history has been lost due their inability to record their own acts and great feats they achieved, the spirit of the Viking warrior and performer live on to this very day. Certain aspects of Viking culture is still celebrated and revered. Modern day interpretations of Viking and Norse music are also featured in games, building the mood and helping immerse the player in the fantasy world.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to being featured prominently in video games, norse music has played a powerful role in a number of successful hit TV shows and movies, such as “Vikings” by the History channel and “The Last Kingdom” by Netflix.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"viking-music-in-a-nutshell\">Viking Music in a Nutshell</h2>\n\n<p>Not much is known about the history surrounding Viking music.

These games are played from the viewpoint of the player character, where utilization of firearms and <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">shooter</a> combat is the major part of the gameplay loop.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"James Bond as an MMOFPS\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/19.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /> </p>\n\n<p>While not the first example of the genre, FPS games were popularized with the release of <strong>Doom </strong>on December 10, 1993. Doom proved so popular a game that for years after it, before the term FPS was settled on, many games in this genre were instead known as <strong>\"Doom clones\"</strong>. </p>\n\n<p>Since then, though, FPS games have become some of the most popular titles to play. A large part of this comes from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">online multiplayer gameplay</a>, which reached the mainstream in a major way with the 2001 release of the Halo series on the original Xbox. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Originally, FPS games were arguably only well suited to <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> given the difficulty of adapting their controls to a gamepad device. Over time though, as dual-stick controls and auto-aim features improved, this issue was mitigated to the point where the differences between PC and console control capabilities are now minor.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS are usually suitable for all platforms\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/14_Handheld_Consoles.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>What are MMOFPS games?</h2>\n\n<p>MMOFPS games are titles within the greater MMO genre which have gameplay primarily informed by traditional FPS gaming. Among these are games like the Destiny and PlanetSide series.</p>\n\n<h2>What makes MMOFPS games a difficult genre to build?</h2>\n\n<p>The difficulty in creating these games is mostly due to the differently targeted playlengths of each of the MMO and FPS online genres. </p>\n\n<p>While MMOs have long been the type of game which favors extended periods of play, FPS online games tend to have sessions lasting around half an hour, often considerably less. Finding an effective way to combine these models and their fanbases has proven a very challenging task.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"MMOs favors extended periods of play, while FPSs tend to last less than half an hour\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/20.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Also factored in here is the inclusion of the standard MMO monthly pay model. While this is accepted among MMO games, players of FPS games are used to a single upfront payment for their normally LAN-based game, making the establishment of this system a problematic sell.</p>\n\n<p>Countering this issue is the potential of a <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play</a> model. These traditionally charge no upfront fees and earn their money through various in-game transactions. </p>\n\n<p>However, many leading developers are hesitant to engage in this model, with some preferring a full-priced game which then includes free-to-play microtransactions – a system often derided among video game traditionalists.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS as a free-to-play game\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/17_working_together.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Another issue here is one which is less of a problem in PvE game but constitutes a real concern in <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PvP</a> – pay-to-win mechanics. In effect, these refer to direct gameplay advantages which can only be obtained through either monetary purchase or an exorbitant amount of grinding. </p>\n\n<p>As it skews the odds towards those who pay their way to victory, this can create a gulf of power between the haves and the have-nots.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>The History of MMOFPS</h2>\n\n<p>The earliest recorded game that can be thought of as an MMOFPS game was Underlight, released on the now-defunct MPlayer service in March of 1998. </p>\n\n<p>While it was a technological feat, the limitations of computer processing and bandwidth at the time meant that the combination of the two genres was not particularly cohesive. </p>\n\n<p>Because of this, when people ask what was the first MMOFPS, the most common answer is Neocron, a cyberpunk post-apocalyptic game released in 2002.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/y7Y6rc6xJjs\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The biggest effort and the one which ultimately proved the potential of the genre is still considered to be the original PlanetSide, released in May of 2003. </p>\n\n<p>With up to 399 players able to compete in a single battle, this title is generally thought to be the originator of the genre as it exists today.</p>\n\n<h2>Which Games are Considered MMOFPS?</h2>\n\n<p>The two biggest examples of the MMOFPS genre currently available are Destiny 2 and PlanetSide 2. Destiny has more of a traditional MMO loot and leveling-based focus, as players improve their characters and complete quests for experience, currency and gear rewards.</p>\n\n<p>PlanetSide 2 is more of a widescale battlefield type of game, with over a thousand players able to exist on a single map at the same time, compared to 10 or so in Destiny and depending on map conditions. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS games are very exciting and stimulating\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/21.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In fact, PlanetSide currently holds the world record for largest MMOFPS battle, with over 1158 players recorded in a single battle. Leveling in PlanetSide is comparatively tame, though there are elements of currency earning and unlockable progression.</p>\n\n<p>Perhaps the most direct form of MMOFPS came with Firefall, launched July 29, 2014. While initially hyped due to a strong emphasis on combining MMO and FPS games in the most coherent manner yet, the game was mismanaged and eventually shut down on July 7, 2017.</p>\n\n<h2>Would an MMOFPS Game Work in eSports?</h2>\n\n<p>Both MMOs and FPS games are represented within the world of eSports, so the combination of the two into an effective <a href=\"/en/blog/esports/\">eSport</a> is possible, even likely. To gain traction on this stage though first requires considerable fan interest and funding from both developers and the community.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS games from a different angle\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/11.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>While some of the bigger examples in the genre like Destiny have made progress in this regard, there is yet to be a breakout hit on the level of other successful eSports genres.</p>\n\n<p>MMOFPS games have long stood as a genre with massive potential. Despite this, we are yet to see a truly popular example of this genre, reaching the level of an MMO like World of Warcraft or an FPS like Halo. </p>\n\n<p>With interest in both sides of this genre only growing, a breakout hit remains only a matter of time. The only question left is, who will be the first to take the crown?</p>\n","date":"7/9/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/1_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13311"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/viking-locations/"},"strings":{"title":"Top Five Historic Viking Locations to Visit","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>There are a lot of fantastic, well preserved Viking sites you can visit, such as The Viking Ship Museum in Oslo or in Roskilde, but if you want to see some real remains you need to go outside of the beaten track and visit the smaller towns of the Northern Hemisphere.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Below is our list of the top 5 fabulous spots to to visit, for anyone interested in learning more about this ancient Scandinavian culture.

The latter was useful if the spear was broken during battle, allowing the spear to be used in a secondary manner.</p>\n\n<p>The benefits of wielding a Dory into battle were vast, as it gave the capable warriors reach and the benefit of a ranged attack if needed.</p>\n\n<p>The second weapon that was used in the Spartan army was the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiphos\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Xiphos</a>, a short and deadly sword that was even smaller than the average short sword used by most armies during this period of time.</p>\n\n<p>On average a short sword was two feet in length, however the Xiphos averaged between 12-18 inches.</p>\n\n<p>This difference in length allowed the Spartan warrior to wield the blade in incredibly close combat, allowing it to be wielded at times that a longer blade would not be able to be used.</p>\n\n<p>An alternative to the Xiphos was the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopis\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kopis</a>, a curved sword that was used for hacking opponents, rather than piercing. It was considered a nasty, ruthless weapon, akin to using an axe in battle.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/b1pLWLaRT3Q\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Finally, the last weapon that the average Spartan warrior used was their shield.</p>\n\n<p>Although typically used for defense, the Spartan shield was also a formidable bashing weapon, made intentionally to be effective as a weapon. </p>\n\n<p>Its thin edge could be used as a blunt force killing weapon, while its broad surface could be used to knock over or stun their opponents.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The Spartan shield was also a formidable bashing weapon\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta2.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 1242px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Spartan Warrior Armor</h2>\n\n<p>Much more akin to the era, the Spartan soldier, or Hoplite, wore armor that was very similar to other nations in their region.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan warriors wore a large bronze helmet, that protected their head, while still offering substantial visibility. A crested mane of horse hair, often indicated a ranking officer.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan shield, which we discussed previously was a rounded shield that was made of either bronze or wood, that could be used effectively as both a defensive and offensive piece of equipment.</p>\n\n<p>The letter lambda (Λ), standing for Laconia or Lacedaemon was painted on the Spartan warriors shield and was widely known during the period as a symbol of Sparta. This practice was adopted around 420 BC.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\"><img alt=\"The Spartan warrior's shield was revered by their society\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/strategy_move.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The Spartan shield was revered by their society and military families passed it on from one generation to the next.</p>\n\n<p>As body armor they wore bronze cuirasses, leg greaves and ankle guards to protect against slash attacks from their opponents.</p>\n\n<p>This armor would grow and evolve as warfare during the time period progressed, leading the Spartan armor to become even more lighter, allowing increased flexibility and mobility in combat.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>A Rigorous Life of Training From Birth</h2>\n\n<p>To put it simply, the life of a Spartan was not easy whether you were a man or a woman, as both were subjected to harsh demands and treatment from birth.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan warriors were however exclusively men and their lifetime of training as a warrior began from day one of birth.</p>\n\n<p>Babies were immediately inspected from the time of birth and were often discarded if any signs of defects were shown.</p>\n\n<p>A misconception is that they were tossed from a cliff if a defect was found, however, historians have shown that often times they were simply abandoned to the elements, in which they either succumbed, or were saved by a passer by.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan babies who passed inspection then had their constitution tested by being bathed in wine, rather than water.</p>\n\n<p>Their cries were typically ignored, as Spartan woman adopted a “tough love” approach and they were commanded never to fear darkness or solitude.</p>\n\n<p>Spartans believe this would result in hardened warriors from a young age, molding them into the men they wanted to represented their warrior society.</p>\n\n<h2>The Spartan Warriors Education Begins</h2>\n\n<p>At the age of seven, a Spartan boy was taken from his household and placed under the control of the state.</p>\n\n<p>This was known as the beginning of the Spartan agoge, or military training.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"At the age of seven, a Spartan boy would be taken from his household \" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta4.jpg\" style=\"width: 539px; height: 777px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>At this point they were housed in communal barracks with other young children their age, where they were taught scholastics, warfare, stealth, hunting and athletics until the age of twelve.</p>\n\n<p>Hazing was a common practice and instructors actively encouraged it, along with fights amongst peers.</p>\n\n<p>Once reaching the age of twelve, they were then stripped of all clothing, except that of a red cloak, forced to sleep outside and make their bedding out of reeds or whatever material they could scavenge.</p>\n\n<p>They were encouraged to steal for food, however if they were caught, they would be vigorously punished for it.</p>\n\n<p>This taught them to survive and prepared them for the harsh campaigns of war, in which they would often experience below sub par living conditions for extended periods of time.</p>\n\n<h2>Once a Spartan Warrior, Always a Spartan Warrior</h2>\n\n<p>Becoming a Spartan warrior was not a choice, it was your duty and it was one that lasted a lifetime.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan men remained on reserve until the age of 60, and given the average life expectancy of the time, this often meant that almost the entirety of your adult life was devoted to the ways of warfare and the training that surrounded it.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan men were discouraged from marrying until the age of 30 and woman were not allowed to marry until they were 20.</p>\n\n<p>Although they could marry before this time, it was frowned upon, as all Spartan men had to live in the military barracks until they were 30 years old.</p>\n\n<p>If they married before this time, they had to live separately from their wives and therefore it was not common practice.</p>\n\n<p>The main point of marriage was not for love, but rather for producing future Spartan warriors. Therefore men were encouraged to marry healthy, strong childbearing woman, or risked facing ridicule for not doing so.</p>\n\n<p>Poor physical fitness was something that was seen with disgust across the board in Spartan society and Spartans were encouraged to stay in peak physical shape at all times, at all phases in their life.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, this was so important, that you could find yourself banished if you fell too poorly out of shape.</p>\n\n<p>In battle, you remained a Spartan warrior until the bitter end. To surrender was considered the ultimate disgrace, resulting in Spartan military units fighting to the last man.</p>\n\n<p>This was so true, that a common saying that Spartan mothers said to their husbands and children before heading off to battle was “Return with your shield or on it.”</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/piAEzVOqHHU\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>The End of an Era</h2>\n\n<p>At the height of its power, the Spartan warrior was an unbreakable fighting machine, defeating foe after foe and winning them the reputation that still stands today.</p>\n\n<p>Their innovative phalanx formation in which Spartan soldiers fought shield to shield, advancing with thrusting spears against their enemies was a strategy that seemed unbeatable at the time.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to this fighting formation, was the code that all Spartan warriors lived and died by, that was taught to them from birth. </p>\n\n<p>This combination made an unbreakable, fearless force that stood unrivalled for centuries.</p>\n\n<p>Sadly, this unbending code would ultimately be what brought about the end of the Spartan era and their empire as a whole.</p>\n\n<p>Their unwillingness to change eventually resulted in Sparta's defeat by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC, which ended Sparta's prominent role in Greece.</p>\n\n<p>Once the curtain was pulled back and they were revealed to be just mere mortals and able to be defeated, there was no going back.</p>\n\n<p>Emboldened their opponents and enemies would continue to adapt and innovate new warfare fighting styles, using effective tactics such as long distance warfare, that the Spartans believe to be cowardly.</p>\n\n<p>Sparta remained as an independent state, even if weakened, until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC, ending an era and closing a chapter in mankind's history.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Spartan Warrior Statue\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta5.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 1238px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>In Conclusion</h2>\n\n<p>The Spartan warrior to this day is still thought of as one of the fearsome fighters in all of mankind's history. </p>\n\n<p>Their victories in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds are stories of legend.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan warrior code lives on to this day, as many modern militaries have adopted much of the training and tactics that were developed by these fearsome warriors during their reign of dominance.</p>\n\n<p>To this day, advanced militaries have a strict code of discipline, ensuring that troops stay in shape at all times, putting them through rigorous training programs and that they maintain their appearances to a high standard.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"The Spartan warrior code lives on to this day\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/spartan_warrior.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>This was the Spartan way, as they knew a well kept, well maintained fighting force could strike fear into the hearts of a less disciplined foe, defeating them even before they reached the battlefield.</p>\n\n<p>Unity was paramount to the success of the Spartan fighting force and is something that placed them leaps and bounds over many other military forces of the time. </p>\n\n<p>To this day, this is true, as a strong united fighting unit will often overcome a better equipped foe, even when outnumbered.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to the influence the Spartan Warrior has on our modern militaries of today, they have also affected our pop culture, resulting in massive hit titles such as “300” and “Rise of an Empire”, among many <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Games such as “Sparta: War of Empires”, have been massive successes, proving that the warrior mindset is still something to be desired and sought after to this very day and likely, until the end of time.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan’s rich and long history will live on forever. Of this we have no doubt.</p>\n","date":"5/30/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/07/sp-pro-players.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13306"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/video-games-movie-inspiration/"},"strings":{"title":"Video Games Movies: From the Big Screen to the Small Screen and Back Again","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"480000","description":"<p>Which movies have had the biggest impact on video gaming, and what video games have likewise inspired the movie industry?</p>\n\n<p>The answer is that there are dozens, maybe even hundreds.

It truly did adopt all of the characteristics that made 80’s and 90’s action movies what they were.</p>\n\n<h3>Super Mario Bros. (1993)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Super Mario was a very anticipated game to become a feature film\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/super_mario.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Many kids from the 90s may remember eagerly anticipating the release of this mega-title. It had <em>incredibly </em>high expectations from fans.</p>\n\n<p>That's unsurprising, given that people credit the Super Mario Franchise as being one of the biggest contributors to the growth of the video game industry.</p>\n\n<p>Sadly, unlike other video game movies, this one disappointed almost everyone who watched it. It was flat-out horrible and left many people scratching their heads at what they just watched.</p>\n\n<p>Was that <strong>Mario</strong>? Was that “thing” <strong>Bowser</strong>? Yet, this is exactly what has seen this horrible movie become so renowned among fans.</p>\n\n<p>Fans of video game movies love to hate Super Mario Bros because of how bad it is, which is why it’s become a <strong>cult classic</strong>.</p>\n\n<h3>Sonic the Hedgehog Movie (2020)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/szby7ZHLnkA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>If Mario had a movie, then <strong>Sonic </strong>definitely had to have one. Indeed, it wouldn’t be right to have dozens of movies inspired by video games and not give the fastest hedgehog in the world a place on the big screen.</p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, Sega and Paramount pictures felt the same which is why they recruited Pat Casey and Josh Miller to write Sonic the Hedgehog Movie.</p>\n\n<p>Like other video game movies, Sonic had a decent budget. In fact, the creators spent almost $90 million making it. For that money, they got Jeff Fowler as director and Jim Carey in a leading role (<strong>Dr Robotnik</strong>).</p>\n\n<p>Add to this Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic and you’ve got a great cast that brings the video game to life.</p>\n\n<p>As you’d expect, the movie sees Sonic protecting the world from another one of Dr Robotnik’s evil schemes. All of this combined to make this one of the best video game movies of all time based on revenue.</p>\n\n<p>As well as making $319 million at the box office, Sonic was the sixth biggest movie of 2020. And, it made more money than all video game movies before it.</p>\n\n<h3>Mortal Kombat (2021 & 1995)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-BQPKD7eozY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The original Mortal Kombat movie was one for the ages! In fact, it was such a hit that it spawned a franchise of its own.</p>\n\n<p>Today, Mortal Kombat is not only a wildly successful series of video games but also of movies. From live-action offerings to animations, these video game movies have told the story of multiple characters.</p>\n\n<p>The latest Mortal Kombat movie was released in April 2021 and tells the tale of Earthrealm vs. Outworld.</p>\n\n<p>This modern interpretation of the classic battle sees the return of popular fighters such as Bi-Han (aka Sub-Zero), Sonya Blade, and Liu Kang.</p>\n\n<p>We also get to see some modern twists thanks to characters such as Cole Young. He’s a former MMA champion who becomes embroiled in the battle.</p>\n\n<p>Having an MMA fighter in the mix taps into the zeitgeist and gives the latest Mortal Kombat a mainstream appeal.</p>\n\n<h2>Blockbuster Games Inspired By Movies</h2>\n\n<p>Next, we are going to look at the flipside of the coin: video games inspired by movies.</p>\n\n<p>Although there are dozens of games we could have picked, we’ve decided to highlight five games that were a hit with every type of player.</p>\n\n<h3>James Bond</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"James Bond was first a book, then a movie, and later even a video game\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/video_games_that_inspired_movies/jamesbond.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Numerous video game titles have been created that were based on James Bond movies, spanning back throughout the years.</p>\n\n<p>However, one stands out above the others due to its monstrous success. Goldeneye 007, which was based on the 1995 film of the same name, was one of Nintendo 64’s biggest smash hits.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, it’s credited for helping accelerate the popularity of first-person shooter video games.</p>\n\n<p>It sold over 8 million copies and was Nintendo’s third-largest seller for the Nintendo 64. Even today it is still fondly remembered by fans.</p>\n\n<h3>Spiderman</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Spiderman expanded its presence from a comic, to television, cinemas and several video games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/video_games_that_inspired_movies/spiderman.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 591px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The Marvel Cinematic Universe has spawned the creation of a whole catalog of video game titles and vice versa.</p>\n\n<p>One of the more popular characters, Spiderman, has been adapted into video games over and over again.</p>\n\n<p>One of the most popular movie video games within the franchise was released in 2018. It was well received for its amazing graphics and robust engine.</p>\n\n<h3>Batman</h3>\n\n<p>Not letting its rival pass it by, the DC Universe's Batman the game, was released for both the NES console as well as Gameboy advance, both of which were based on the popular 1989 film.</p>\n\n<p>Later on, we had “Batman Returns”, which was also based on the movie of the same title and was released for various consoles in 1992.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, if a Batman movie has been made, it has a video game adaptation.</p>\n\n<p>Not only have both Batman and Spiderman had several film and television iterations, but they have also become one of the main reasons for the ever growing popularity of <a href=\"/en/blog/comic-con/\">Comic-Con</a> and its competitors.</p>\n\n<h3>Lord of the Rings</h3>\n\n<p>One of the biggest grossing franchises of all time, the Lord of the Rings, has resulted in a string of movie video games.</p>\n\n<p>“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, was released in 2002 and was made readily available for all major consoles at the time.</p>\n\n<p>It was directly based on the movie adaptation of the series. As the years went on, more and more games were released based on this franchise, including “Middle-earth: Shadow of War\" which came out in 2017.</p>\n\n<h3>Fast & Furious Crossroads</h3>\n\n<p>Of all the video games inspired by movies, this one is the least surprising. Very few movie franchises have squeezed as much value out of a single idea as Fast & Furious.</p>\n\n<p>Moviegoers have probably lost count of how many Fast & Furious movies there are (eight main movies and one spinoff).</p>\n\n<p>Well, there are almost as many games. This doesn’t mean they’re bad.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, compared to other video games inspired by movies, Fast & Furious ones are among the best because they’re a natural fit. They’re based on cars and racing, something gamers love.</p>\n\n<p>Fast & Furious Crossroads game out in 2020 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. It was published by Bandai Namco Entertainment and developed by Slightly Mad Studios.</p>\n\n<p>Like its counterparts, the main aim is to race cars from the movie. There’s a single-player story mode and a multiplayer option, both of which are extremely enjoyable.</p>\n\n<h3>Enjoy Video Game Movies and Movie Video Games</h3>\n\n<p>So, there you have it, that’s the best video game movies and the top movie video games. The synergy between the movies and gaming is one that’s flourished over the years and long may it continue.</p>\n\n<p>If this relationship continues to produce entertaining video game movies and vice versa, we’re all for it.</p>\n","date":"5/26/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_11/east-west-header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13301"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/strategy-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Top Ten Strategy Games to Play in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Prepare your master plan to play the best Strategy Games ","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/strategy-games.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16145"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-war-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Best War Games 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"best war games for pc","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/war-games.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16140"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-android-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The 12 Best Android Games 2023 Has to Offer"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The Best Android Games in 2023 are perfect for a great time","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/android-games.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13557"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-android-games-2021/"},"strings":{"title":"The 10 Best Android Games in 2021 "},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"2021 was a great year for the best Android games","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/best-android-games.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16136"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-pc-games-all-time/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best PC Games Ever – And a Few New Ones"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The All-Time Best PC Games","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/pc-games.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13412"}}]},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","type":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","model":{"links":{"url":"/en/plarium-play/download-user/?plid=885739&pxl=seo&appId=27","urlForGamePage":"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/","googlePlayUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/com.plarium.raidlegends?pid=SEO&c=749089","appStoreUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/id1371565796?pid=SEO&c=749088&af_siteid=HomePage"},"strings":{"title":"Raid: Shadow Legends","subtitle":"Collect 400+ Champions & Fight For Glory","label":"Download","analyticsGameName":"raid"},"images":{"promoImg":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/plarium-play/games/Raid/promo.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"authGameTheme":"default","isRedirectDownload":"true"},"repeaters":{},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","type":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Subscribe to the Blog","errorInvalid":"Invalid email address.

Read on to find out!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h3>In this post we will cover:</h3>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Orcs</li>\n\t<li>Elves</li>\n\t<li>Giants</li>\n\t<li>Dwarves</li>\n\t<li>Skin-Walkers</li>\n\t<li>Necromancers</li>\n\t<li>The Undead</li>\n\t<li>Witches</li>\n\t<li>Dragons</li>\n\t<li>Noble Humans</li>\n</ol>\n\n<h2>1. Orcs</h2>\n\n<p>Orcs have been prevalent fantasy characters within many mythologies throughout human history. Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, described orcs as an enormous mass of flesh armed with teeth. In a more modern context, it was Tolkien who most influenced their depictions through his famed high fantasy adventure series.</p>\n\n<p>Amongst the fantasy characters available, Orcs are mostly used as high-strength and low-intelligence brutes of RPG characters. This makes them well-suited to tank or damage rolls, where they take the front lines to fight in a melee. That said, some Orc leaders buck the trend. These standouts can become thoughtful leaders and adept mages, though warriors are still the most common orc roles.</p>\n\n<h2>2. Elves</h2>\n\n<p>It’s strange to think of fantasy RPG characters, but many people associate elves with the fabled creatures that make presents at the North Pole. For gamers, elves often represent a near opposite of their Santa-based counterparts when it comes to fantasy characters.</p>\n\n<p>Game elves are usually tall, beautiful beings that are both intelligent and in touch with magic and nature.</p>\n\n<p>Most Elves in gaming dedicate themselves to long-distance combat. Here they use bows as archers, and magic as mages to support the stronger physical forms of other fantasy characters. In more direct combat, Elves can also take the form of assassins. Elves on this path use daggers in a fighting style that emphasizes agility and quick strikes over brute force alone.</p>\n\n<h2>3. Giants</h2>\n\n<p>Across the world of mythologies, giants range from destructive to wise, aggressive to calm. They take so many forms in so many stories that a fantasy RPG can do almost whatever they want with the creature.</p>\n\n<p>In <a href=\"/en/games/\">video games</a>, implementing Giants in games with other fantasy characters can be problematic due to their size. For this reason, they are often relegated to support as summon attacks, or NPCs in areas where size isn't a concern.</p>\n\n<p>When they are playable, their raw strength and Health Points (HP) make them a valuable tank or warrior unit, even in small numbers.</p>\n\n<h2>4. Dwarves</h2>\n\n<p>While almost always diminutive and mountain-dwelling, dwarves also take multiple forms throughout mythology. Probably the most recognized depiction is from Germanic mythology. As fantasy characters, they are expert miners, smithies, crafters, and boast tremendous wisdom.</p>\n\n<p>As playable fantasy characters, Dwarves usually have high stamina and HP, making them great as tank fantasy characters. They might not have the strength of orcs or the HP of giants, but their tenacity in combat makes them indispensable. Just don't challenge them to drinking contests.</p>\n\n<h2>5. Skin-Walkers</h2>\n\n<p>Skin-walker is a term given to humans who can shape-shift into, or possess, animals, the most famous of which is the werewolf. Noted in folklore all over the world, skin-walkers reflect the human fear of animal instincts.</p>\n\n<p>While rare in gaming, skin-walkers usually have some unique attributes which can give them a serious edge. Often this involves changing form in direct combat. Such surprises can turn them from puny humans into powerful Damage Per Second (DPS) warrior classes who can quickly take less-prepared foes by surprise.</p>\n\n<h2>6. Necromancers</h2>\n\n<p>Necromancers are users of dark and evil magic who can summon and control the dead in spirit or by raising corpses. Recognized since the ancient Greek Homer penned the epic poem, The Odyssey, Necromancer morality is always in question.</p>\n\n<p>A favorite with fantasy RPG characters and series, necromancers often act as indirect DPS magic classes supported by powerful spells.</p>\n\n<p>Though they can be powerful fighters in their own rights, necromancers set themselves apart by summoning hordes of skeletons, golems, or other mythological creatures to fight for them.</p>\n\n<h2>7. The Undead</h2>\n\n<p>The undead fantasy characters of RPG titles are often the minions of dark and powerful beings. Yet, some of the best video game characters that come under the undead category aren’t mindless minions.</p>\n\n<p>Ingame, undead are usually balanced by the dichotomy of their physiology.</p>\n\n<p>Mostly used as front-line fighters, an undead character might not have the highest health or damage, but their reanimated bodies can often resist pain or other negative status effects. After all, creatures don't have to worry about drowning if they don't have lungs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">8. Witches</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Featured in folklore across Europe and North America, the average witches are creatures who can be as enticing as they are dangerous. Often depicted as women, they are generally evil beings or those that have been cast out by society.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Powered by dark magic, witches are usually demonized as unnaturally powerful. Witches are complex as fantasy characters, sometimes existing as fantasy characters, other times acting as an archetype adopted by other fantasy characters.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bolstered by magic, witches can act as healers and support through spells and potions, fling magic attacks from afar, or even boost their physical abilities in direct combat. This can give them a lot of flexibility in roles like DPS spellcasters, though they rarely act as tanks.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">9. Dragons</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dragons take many different forms in mythology and are common across European and Asian mythos. While Asian dragons tend to be more serpentine than most European depictions, they all spawn from humanity’s innate fear of snakes and similar dangerous reptiles.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like giants, dragons are difficult to implement as playable RPG characters due to their size. When they do appear, they can often become hybrids of DPS and tank units, relying on flight and fire to give their playstyle flexibility. Acting as both melee fighters and spellcasters, dragons are power companions in and out of combat.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">10. Noble Humans</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Creatures of myth often go hand-in-hand with a noble human tasked with killing them. From ancient Greek mythology to the tales of the middle-ages, great beasts of myth almost always meet their demise at the hands of a noble, often male, hero.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When playable as characters, humans are often the most flexible of all RPG characters. As a jack of all trades and master of none, they can fit into any of the holy trinity fantasy characters equally well.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While they might not have the special abilities of the more dedicated fantasy characters, their capacity for mixing strengths can give them unique combinations of skills that others might lack.</p>\n","date":"1/6/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_09.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13329"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/what-makes-a-game-an-rgp/"},"strings":{"title":"A Look at RPG Games Online: What Makes a Game an RPG?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p><a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a> are one of the longest standing and most popular genres available. Today, millions of players enjoy RPG games online, and offline RPG games also draw significant attention.</p>\n\n<p>So what exactly are RPG games, and what makes RPGs so popular?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-rpg-games?\">What are RPG Games?</h2>\n\n<p>RPG stands for role-playing game. These are games which tend to be heavily story-based and have a player taking a specific part, or role.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-makes-a-game-an-rpg?\">What Makes a Game an RPG?</h2>\n\n<p>In general terms, a game is an RPG if your team or character follows an overarching quest. Playing this quest typically involves leveling up, fighting enemies, and navigating important menu systems.</p>\n\n<p>RPG games are a wide genre covering a huge range of themes, which can make them hard to define. A big part of this comes from the fact that many types of games are now incorporating RPG elements.<br />\nThis is done because RPG games give a strong emphasis on progression. A longer game aids the feeling of accomplishment, which can make you feel more attached to a character or team.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-traditional-rpg-game?\">What is a traditional RPG game?</h2>\n\n<p>The more traditional games in this genre are fantasy RPG games. These are illustrated by early Nintendo Entertainment System series such as Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior. With these games, you fight an overwhelming evil force together with your party. Sometimes you control one main character within this party, other times you are given the entire party to follow.</p>\n\n<p>In these early games, combat is usually turn-based, randomly encountered, and placed on a separate field. Players select which moves to take from menus, including a range of physical, ranged, healing, and magical abilities. Once you win a battle, you are given experience and loot drops, and then brought back to the world map or dungeon screen.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-popular-rpg-games-in-real-life?\">What are the Most Popular RPG Games in Real Life?</h2>\n\n<p>Real-life RPGs are most commonly illustrated by tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons. This is a longstanding multiplayer RPG series dating back to 1974. Within this game, you use dice rolls and character statistic sheets to decide player guided outcomes.</p>\n\n<p>Just as with video games, players within real-life RPGs earn gear, level up, and become more powerful over time. Every few years these systems are overhauled, such as the D&D 5th Edition, which was released in 2014.<br />\nThere is currently a wide range of different <a href=\"/en/games/category/popular-games/\">popular tabletop RPG games</a> available. These include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Dungeons and Dragons (all editions)</li>\n\t<li>Shadowrun</li>\n\t<li>Call of Cthulhu</li>\n\t<li>Vampire: The Masquerade</li>\n\t<li>Star Wars</li>\n\t<li>Pathfinder</li>\n\t<li>Warhammer</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>These aren’t just tied to the idea of mages and magic. Some, like Shadowrun, involve cyberpunk. Others, like Call of Cthulhu and Vampire: The Masquerade take a more horrific aesthetic. There are even those which abandon the tabletop altogether, instead taking part in costume and in a more active manner. These are called LARPs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-larp?\">What is a LARP?</h2>\n\n<p>LARP stands for Live Action Role-Play. Players of these games meet in person in private or public places to add more live-action to their role-play experiences. This typically involves costumes, mock combat, and long periods of staying in character.<br />\nAs with tabletop games, these can cover many different subgenres. Classic LARP games revolve around fantasy, romance, and even real history.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-varied-are-new-rpg-games?\">How Varied are New RPG Games?</h2>\n\n<p>As many forms of gaming adopt RPG mechanics or inspiration, the genre has grown and evolved. If you want to play an RPG in 2019 you could find many different subgenre hybrids, including the following:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"action-rpgs\">Action RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>These are games with combat which is more focused on real-time action. <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">In an action RPG</a>, you might control your character's movement and attacks whenever in combat. Outside of combat, you could still level up, change and equip skills, and otherwise, rely on in-depth menu systems.</p>\n\n<p>These are usually played in a third-person perspective.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"collectible-rpgs\">Collectible RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Collectible RPGs are a form rapidly gaining steam as RPG mobile games, though they have existed long before smartphones. Pokemon was a strong early example of this, as collecting a powering up a team was a huge part of the game. In more recent terms, many games have found massive success on the mobile front. These focus on building yourself a powerful small team, improving their gear, and fighting PVP and PVE battles.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What makes a game an RPG?\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg \" style=\"width: 600px; height: 400px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"tactical-rpgs\">Tactical RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Tactical RPGs tend to present a top-down or isometric perspective within battles. Here, you will need to move your characters around certain tiles or areas to gain a positional advantage. These usually give players a set amount of moves in a round, in a turn-based fashion.</p>\n\n<p>These are just a few of the current popular RPG subgenres available. Often these borrow heavily from each other, which can make it difficult to ascribe them to just one subtype. Sometimes it can be best to consider RPG games as many genres together. This can be confusing, but it can also be the only way categorize them accurately.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-popular-rpg-video-games?\">What are the Most Popular RPG Video Games?</h2>\n\n<p>The most popular RPG video games at this time include The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Skyrim, and World of Warcraft. These can be difficult to ascribe to one particular genre. Generally, we take the most central mechanics when labeling them.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"old-school-rpgs\">Old-school RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Despite their modern trappings, games like Persona 5 and Skyrim are still heavily steeped in classical RPG standards. Both of these involve going on large quests, slaying demons and monsters, and facing seemingly impossible odds.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mmorpgs\">MMORPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Standing for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, MMORPGs have been very popular since the early internet. World of Warcraft has been the most popular of these for over a decade, but it is not the only successful game. Final Fantasy 14, despite a rocky start, also now boasts over a million active subscriptions.</p>\n\n<p>MMORTS' are another sub-genre that take the best features from MMORPGs and apply them to a strategic setting in order to appeal to a different audience with Vikings: War of Clans being a well-known example of this.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"action-rpgs\">Action RPGs</h3>\n\n<p>Action RPGs have been finding a lot of success recently, and are still on the rise. Looking at RPG 2019 releases, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has been immensely popular, despite its notable difficulty. Longtime RPG fans are also looking forward to the Final Fantasy 7 remake, which is slated for release in 2020. This marks one of the more obvious instances of action RPG evolution, as the original Final Fantasy 7 was a traditional Japanese RPG.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-does-the-future-of-rpg-games-look-like?\">What Does the Future of RPG Games Look Like?</h2>\n\n<p>With more games borrowing more from RPG’s every year, we have to wonder what the future will look like. If the current trajectory holds, anticipate many mainstream games leaning on RPG mechanics for longevity. If not in <a href=\"/en/blog/single-player/\">single-player</a>, then expect <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer </a>components to become more RPG-centric in their offerings.</p>\n","date":"12/23/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg "},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13326"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mmo-racing-games/"},"strings":{"title":"What are MMO Racing Games?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>There are very few genres in gaming that can match the excitement and thrills offered by racing games.

Many titles also feature mini-game options to make the experience more rounded.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>When did Racing Games Start?</h2>\n\n<p>Not many sports are as thrilling and competitive as racing, so it is unsurprising that racing games have been popular in video gaming since the very beginning. </p>\n\n<p>Released all the way back in 1974, Gran Trak 10 by Atari is widely regarded by experts as the first example of a racing video game. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The possibilities of Racing MMOs could be mindboggling\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/21_Money.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In the decades since, racing games have taken on many forms with some focusing on more action-packed elements and others attempting to create an authentic, realistic simulation of driving specific cars. </p>\n\n<p>However, whether it is Need for Speed, F1 or Gran Turismo, they all have one thing in common – exciting racing action.</p>\n\n<p>The omnipresence of the internet has opened up new possibilities in terms of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer</a> options for racing, giving players the chance to challenge themselves against top drivers from across the world. </p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, it has led to the creation of open-world racing games, where there is fun to be had away from the track, across a wide variety of terrains.</p>\n\n<h2>How can you play MMO racing games?</h2>\n\n<p>Online racing games are available across a range of platforms from consoles to <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile</a>, but the same rules tend to apply to playing them. To get involved in the action, you need to:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Select the game you want to play</li>\n\t<li>Download the app or visit the website</li>\n\t<li>Register your personal details</li>\n\t<li>Get racing!</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>MMO racing titles feature an array of payment models including subscriptions, but it is also common to find free racing games, too. </p>\n\n<p>Be aware though that these often follow the free-to-play structure, which means that while you get initial access for no cost, you may have to spend money to boost your gameplay or make changes to your vehicle.</p>\n\n<h2>What are the top MMO racing games?</h2>\n\n<p>A number of exciting MMO racing games have come and gone down the years. For example, EA brought the Need for Speed franchise into this area with Need for Speed World, although the Microsoft Windows title was only in operation from 2010 to 2015.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMO Racing is exciting!\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/30.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"MMO Race Car Driver\" /></p>\n\n<p>Other notable MMO open world racing games include the TrackMania series, with Ubisoft claiming its TrackMania Forever title is the most popular online racing game for PC in history, with more than 16 million registered drivers. </p>\n\n<p>Another major name in this area is iRacing, a subscription-based game endorsed by professional drivers that offers players the chance to enjoy a range of events and realistic driving experiences in a number of vehicles.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Are there MMO racing eSports? </h2>\n\n<p>While the world of eSports tends to be dominated by other forms of MMO gaming like <a href=\"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/\">MOBA</a> titles such as League of Legends, MMO racing titles are increasingly getting a foothold in the ever-growing field of competitive spectator gaming.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Racing MMos as a part of eSports\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/19_Strong.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The iRacing eSports Network on YouTube, for example, broadcasts a range of races featuring some of the best talent involved in the game, while the iRacing eSports World Championships feature six series and a total cash prize pool of $100,000. </p>\n\n<p>It's clear that iRacing is, at least for now, the focus when it comes to MMO racing eSports.</p>\n\n<p>While that level of prize money may mean MMO racing lags behind some of the bigger eSports in a financial sense, the genre is more than a match when it comes to adrenalin-fuelled excitement.</p>\n\n<h2>Going mobile with your MMO racing</h2>\n\n<p>MMO gaming is often associated with PCs - yet, as we touched upon earlier, MMO racing can be enjoyed across a range of platforms.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMO racing games on mobile\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/31.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"Mobile racing\" /></p>\n\n<p>Open world racing games have grown on smartphone and tablets, as the technological capabilities of the devices evolve. A notable example is Hutch Games’ Race Kings title, which is particularly popular on both iOS and Android, offering gamers the chance to participate in live events against opponents matched to meet their skill level.</p>\n\n<h2>What is the future of MMO racing?</h2>\n\n<p>All of the signs point towards virtual reality becoming the next big thing in MMO racing.</p>\n\n<p>VR is an area that gaming as a whole is exploring more and more and it is already making an impact on racing games in general. </p>\n\n<p>Titles like Project Cars 2 and Assetto Corsa now feature virtual reality modes which mean players have the chance to feel like they are well and truly behind the wheel of the vehicles they are driving.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Tired MMO gamer\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/7_Gamer.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In addition, with emerging titles like Orbus VR bringing a virtual reality twist to fantasy MMO gaming, it seems like it is only a matter of time until MMO racing games take that step too.</p>\n\n<h2>Discover a whole new world with MMO racing</h2>\n\n<p>Racing is a sport which has always been a natural fit for gaming and it remains as popular as ever. Combining the genre with MMO elements has opened gamers up to a whole new world and given them a chance to compete against rivals across the globe.</p>\n\n<p>Whether you are an experienced racer or an MMO fan seeking a new challenge, online racing games can give you a chance to enjoy life in the fast lane.</p>\n","date":"9/3/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/5_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13318"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/youtube-gaming-channels/"},"strings":{"title":"Top YouTube Gaming Channels","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"720000","description":"<p>YouTube currently dominates social media, and maybe additional platforms in the near future.

I'm 100% myself and usually just tell stories about my normal life and try to find humor in daily occurrences my viewers can relate to.\"</strong></em></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Bufarete describes his experience as a YouTuber as therapeutic\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/photo/bufarete3.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 666px;\" title=\"Bufarete\" /></p>\n\n<p>It's true that video games can be beneficial. Studies, according to iD Tech, have found that gaming improves hand-eye coordination and cognitive skills. And Bufarete has already explained how the YouTube community can be an outlet for emotions, not to mention comedic talents. It’s a way to share excitement and frustration, as well as meet people from across the globe as passionate about games as you.</p>\n\n<p>Bufarete’s 86,720 total subscribers may be lower than the YouTubers already mentioned. But that doesn’t stop millions of viewers tuning in to watch him laugh his way through Clash Royale. His channel seems to provide the exact entertainment mobile gaming fans are looking for. </p>\n\n<p>Bufarete tells us about his plans:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"Keep working hard! YouTube is a very fascinating and intriguing place, I've been doing it for many years and and I still don't comprehend their inner workings.

It's a safe assumption that <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">role-playing games</a> would not be one of the most popular genres today without the fun of the original Runescape. It helped move RPGs onto the multiplayer world and has now evolved into a title of legend.</p>\n\n<p>Thanks to its status and his creativity, Solo Mission has secured 62,047 subscribers and over 8.3 million views. It may have been over a decade since its first release, but gamers still enjoy nothing more than to explore Old School</p>\n\n<p>Runescape’s possibilities; antique and re-invented.</p>\n\n<p>Solo Mission has ambitious plans for the months ahead:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>\"I aim to reach all the end game bosses in my current Old School Runescape series, and hopefully obtain some of the most powerful items in the game on my low level account.

Pro players also make a living by playing and streaming video games.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>There’s more to sharing gaming videos than financial gain, however.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>It’s easier for casual players to find solutions or suggested purchases in a video than a forum.</li>\n\t<li>The entertainment value is higher than a movie’s unchanging scenario. Today’s best video games are designed to be replayed several times over with alternate choices and endings.</li>\n\t<li>Each of the gaming channels on YouTube has something new to offer – unique playthroughs, secrets, funny and intrepid gamers.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Gaming technologies and trends evolve, and so do their experts. Above are examples of creators whose personality, innovation and understanding of their industry have propelled them into the limelight. Their knowledge and ambitions in the management of their channels are valuable in terms of things to learn and look forward to.

However, the most common route into the games is:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Choose the game for you;</li>\n\t<li>Download the app or head to the website;</li>\n\t<li>Register with the service;</li>\n\t<li>Get playing!</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What is a MMORTS?\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week1/images/3.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The general premise of MMORTS games sees you build up a base using a range of resources, including an in-game currency, before then looking to expand. This may be by engaging with opponents in battle or even joining forces with them to conquer others. </p>\n\n<p>While many of the games are free-to-play, you should bear in mind that they do tend to offer you the chance to access further features, benefits and bonuses using cash.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Some MMORTS are f2p while most do feature in-game purchases\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/26.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>A history of MMORTS gaming</h2>\n\n<p>As we have already touched upon, the history of online strategy games can be traced back to the traditional real-time strategy genre.</p>\n\n<p>It is widely accepted that this type of gaming emerged at the start of the 1980s with titles like Utopia, although it reached a new level of popularity with the release of Dune II in the 1990s.</p>\n\n<p>Real-time strategy remains a hugely popular area, but its combination with MMO gaming in the past decade or so has seen it reach an incredible number of people across several key platforms.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>What are the most notable MMORTS games?</h2>\n\n<p>Among the best strategy games available today is Clash of Clans, which was first released by Supercell in 2012, but has grown to be a gaming phenomenon. Six years on from its launch, the mobile game remains lucrative with analysts estimating that it still generates around $1.5 million a day.</p>\n\n<p>In contrast, a game like Edgeworld has a more futuristic outlook and allows you to blast off into space for adventures.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMORTS games are quite unique\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/27.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Playing MMORTS games on mobile</h2>\n\n<p>One of the real joys of war strategy games is that they offer a flexibility you do not often get in gaming. As MMORTS titles tend to be browser strategy games or app-based, you can easily log in and get involved in the action whether you are sat at a PC or using a smartphone or tablet.</p>\n\n<p>Mobile gaming has grown in the past decade or so from being a casual pastime to a serious part of the gaming world and Clash of Clans and other MMORTS titles have been fundamental to that change.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Mobile Gaming & MMORTS Games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/11_Mobile.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>MMORTS games and eSports</h2>\n\n<p>The world of professional gaming – known as eSports – has grown massively in the past decade or so with the very best players doing battle on a range of titles to win a share of some significant levels of prize money.</p>\n\n<p>It is a world where MMO gaming has made a significant impact, particularly through MOBA titles like League of Legends and Dota 2. But what about MMORTS games?</p>\n\n<p>A growing number of competitions are being held in relation to titles like Clash of Clans, but it is safe to say there is a long way to go until online strategy games reach the heights of the biggest titles in eSports.

A number of these instruments have been recreated by Danish musicians and played.</p>\n\n<p>All Viking Instruments, including the Viking drum would of been used as a part of Viking war music, however they would of also been used alongside Viking poetry and music as well to enhance the performance and add effect.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking Flute\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikingmusic/vikingmusic3.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" title=\"Viking Flute\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-only-ancient-viking-song-known?\">The Only Ancient Viking Song Known?</h2>\n\n<p>Although there are many songs that can be dated back to ancient Scandinavian history, most of these songs can then be linked to broader European culture and thus would of been adopted by the Norse people at later dates, once they began to integrate into the societies around them.</p>\n\n<p>However, not long after the Viking people learned of a way to record their history and write down music, a song was carved into a piece of wood.

Thus highlighting one little fragment of the history surrounding the mysterious Viking music.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"war-chants-in-viking-culture\">War Chants in Viking Culture</h2>\n\n<p>Viking war music would have included numerous chants in which their warriors would sing in unity to strike both fear and dread into the hearts of their opponents. The Vikings were skilled warriors and the war chant was a way of showing strength and coordination to your foes.</p>\n\n<p>As with Viking music in general, no known ancient Viking war chants are known today, but still it is something to this very day that is being practiced. The latest example of this is the <em>“Viking Thunder Clap”</em>, which was performed by Iceland after their victory over England in 2006, then again during the<strong> FIFA 2018 World Cup.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/bpyD7imdllU\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is a modern day example of a “war chant” proving that old traditions still live on, even if the specifics are lost.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"viking-music-in-pop-culture\">Viking Music in Pop Culture</h2>\n\n<p>Even though much of the Viking history has been lost due their inability to record their own acts and great feats they achieved, the spirit of the Viking warrior and performer live on to this very day. Certain aspects of Viking culture is still celebrated and revered. Modern day interpretations of Viking and Norse music are also featured in games, building the mood and helping immerse the player in the fantasy world.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to being featured prominently in video games, norse music has played a powerful role in a number of successful hit TV shows and movies, such as “Vikings” by the History channel and “The Last Kingdom” by Netflix.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"viking-music-in-a-nutshell\">Viking Music in a Nutshell</h2>\n\n<p>Not much is known about the history surrounding Viking music. Not much is known about their songs of love, peace and war, however, much <em>is </em>known about the ways of the Viking people and the lasting influence that they have left on this world.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to being warriors, they were craftsman, poets, musicians and without a doubt - they were even singers. Norse inspired music lives on to this day and has the ability to stir our hearts and souls, invoking powerful emotions whether it be through chant or song.</p>\n\n<p>Hopefully, one day more will be learned and discovered about Viking music, pulling back the curtain surrounding so much that is still unkown of this period in time, revealing a key part of Viking history.</p>\n","date":"7/28/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/23.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13314"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mmofps-games/"},"strings":{"title":"What are MMOFPS games?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>MMOFPS games offer a huge range of opportunities for <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO</a> fans <em>and </em>FPS lovers alike, but so far this combination of styles can lack major representation. </p>\n\n<p>While there is some difficulty in the combination of these genres, there is little doubt that this crossover hides enormous, largely untapped potential.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>With the world of gaming increasingly shifting to a more <a href=\"/en/games\">online</a> focus, this genre is one poised for a huge hit to bring it into the mainstream. </p>\n\n<p>In this guide, we take a look at exactly what qualifies as an MMOFPS, how these titles relate to current MMO and FPS games, and what examples have so far set the stage as the best examples in the MMOFPS genre. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS weapons\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/4_Revolver.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /> </p>\n\n<h3>What are FPS games?</h3>\n\n<p><strong>FPS stands for First-Person Shooter</strong>. These games are played from the viewpoint of the player character, where utilization of firearms and <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">shooter</a> combat is the major part of the gameplay loop.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"James Bond as an MMOFPS\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/19.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /> </p>\n\n<p>While not the first example of the genre, FPS games were popularized with the release of <strong>Doom </strong>on December 10, 1993. Doom proved so popular a game that for years after it, before the term FPS was settled on, many games in this genre were instead known as <strong>\"Doom clones\"</strong>. </p>\n\n<p>Since then, though, FPS games have become some of the most popular titles to play. A large part of this comes from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">online multiplayer gameplay</a>, which reached the mainstream in a major way with the 2001 release of the Halo series on the original Xbox. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Originally, FPS games were arguably only well suited to <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> given the difficulty of adapting their controls to a gamepad device. Over time though, as dual-stick controls and auto-aim features improved, this issue was mitigated to the point where the differences between PC and console control capabilities are now minor.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS are usually suitable for all platforms\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/14_Handheld_Consoles.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>What are MMOFPS games?</h2>\n\n<p>MMOFPS games are titles within the greater MMO genre which have gameplay primarily informed by traditional FPS gaming. Among these are games like the Destiny and PlanetSide series.</p>\n\n<h2>What makes MMOFPS games a difficult genre to build?</h2>\n\n<p>The difficulty in creating these games is mostly due to the differently targeted playlengths of each of the MMO and FPS online genres. </p>\n\n<p>While MMOs have long been the type of game which favors extended periods of play, FPS online games tend to have sessions lasting around half an hour, often considerably less. Finding an effective way to combine these models and their fanbases has proven a very challenging task.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"MMOs favors extended periods of play, while FPSs tend to last less than half an hour\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/20.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Also factored in here is the inclusion of the standard MMO monthly pay model. While this is accepted among MMO games, players of FPS games are used to a single upfront payment for their normally LAN-based game, making the establishment of this system a problematic sell.</p>\n\n<p>Countering this issue is the potential of a <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play</a> model. These traditionally charge no upfront fees and earn their money through various in-game transactions. </p>\n\n<p>However, many leading developers are hesitant to engage in this model, with some preferring a full-priced game which then includes free-to-play microtransactions – a system often derided among video game traditionalists.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS as a free-to-play game\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/17_working_together.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Another issue here is one which is less of a problem in PvE game but constitutes a real concern in <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PvP</a> – pay-to-win mechanics. In effect, these refer to direct gameplay advantages which can only be obtained through either monetary purchase or an exorbitant amount of grinding. </p>\n\n<p>As it skews the odds towards those who pay their way to victory, this can create a gulf of power between the haves and the have-nots.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>The History of MMOFPS</h2>\n\n<p>The earliest recorded game that can be thought of as an MMOFPS game was Underlight, released on the now-defunct MPlayer service in March of 1998. </p>\n\n<p>While it was a technological feat, the limitations of computer processing and bandwidth at the time meant that the combination of the two genres was not particularly cohesive. </p>\n\n<p>Because of this, when people ask what was the first MMOFPS, the most common answer is Neocron, a cyberpunk post-apocalyptic game released in 2002.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/y7Y6rc6xJjs\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The biggest effort and the one which ultimately proved the potential of the genre is still considered to be the original PlanetSide, released in May of 2003. </p>\n\n<p>With up to 399 players able to compete in a single battle, this title is generally thought to be the originator of the genre as it exists today.</p>\n\n<h2>Which Games are Considered MMOFPS?</h2>\n\n<p>The two biggest examples of the MMOFPS genre currently available are Destiny 2 and PlanetSide 2. Destiny has more of a traditional MMO loot and leveling-based focus, as players improve their characters and complete quests for experience, currency and gear rewards.</p>\n\n<p>PlanetSide 2 is more of a widescale battlefield type of game, with over a thousand players able to exist on a single map at the same time, compared to 10 or so in Destiny and depending on map conditions. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS games are very exciting and stimulating\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/21.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In fact, PlanetSide currently holds the world record for largest MMOFPS battle, with over 1158 players recorded in a single battle. Leveling in PlanetSide is comparatively tame, though there are elements of currency earning and unlockable progression.</p>\n\n<p>Perhaps the most direct form of MMOFPS came with Firefall, launched July 29, 2014. While initially hyped due to a strong emphasis on combining MMO and FPS games in the most coherent manner yet, the game was mismanaged and eventually shut down on July 7, 2017.</p>\n\n<h2>Would an MMOFPS Game Work in eSports?</h2>\n\n<p>Both MMOs and FPS games are represented within the world of eSports, so the combination of the two into an effective <a href=\"/en/blog/esports/\">eSport</a> is possible, even likely. To gain traction on this stage though first requires considerable fan interest and funding from both developers and the community.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS games from a different angle\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/11.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>While some of the bigger examples in the genre like Destiny have made progress in this regard, there is yet to be a breakout hit on the level of other successful eSports genres.</p>\n\n<p>MMOFPS games have long stood as a genre with massive potential. Despite this, we are yet to see a truly popular example of this genre, reaching the level of an MMO like World of Warcraft or an FPS like Halo. </p>\n\n<p>With interest in both sides of this genre only growing, a breakout hit remains only a matter of time.

height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>First and foremost, was the Spartan’s primary weapon, <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dory_(spear)\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the Dory</a>.</p>\n\n<p>As is often shown when representing a Spartan warrior, their main weapon of choice was known as a Dory, which was a long spear measuring between 7-9 feet in length. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\"><img alt=\"Spartan warriors main weapon of choice was known as a Dory\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/sparta/screenshots/8.jpg\" style=\"width: 1000px; height: 650px;\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Typically, the Dory was held overhanded, however, it could be held underhanded as well, when adopting a defensive positive, working in conjunction with their shield.</p>\n\n<p>A curved leaf shape, made of iron or bronze represented the point of the spear, while on the bottom was a spike. The latter was useful if the spear was broken during battle, allowing the spear to be used in a secondary manner.</p>\n\n<p>The benefits of wielding a Dory into battle were vast, as it gave the capable warriors reach and the benefit of a ranged attack if needed.</p>\n\n<p>The second weapon that was used in the Spartan army was the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiphos\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Xiphos</a>, a short and deadly sword that was even smaller than the average short sword used by most armies during this period of time.</p>\n\n<p>On average a short sword was two feet in length, however the Xiphos averaged between 12-18 inches.</p>\n\n<p>This difference in length allowed the Spartan warrior to wield the blade in incredibly close combat, allowing it to be wielded at times that a longer blade would not be able to be used.</p>\n\n<p>An alternative to the Xiphos was the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopis\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kopis</a>, a curved sword that was used for hacking opponents, rather than piercing. It was considered a nasty, ruthless weapon, akin to using an axe in battle.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/b1pLWLaRT3Q\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Finally, the last weapon that the average Spartan warrior used was their shield.</p>\n\n<p>Although typically used for defense, the Spartan shield was also a formidable bashing weapon, made intentionally to be effective as a weapon. </p>\n\n<p>Its thin edge could be used as a blunt force killing weapon, while its broad surface could be used to knock over or stun their opponents.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The Spartan shield was also a formidable bashing weapon\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta2.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 1242px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Spartan Warrior Armor</h2>\n\n<p>Much more akin to the era, the Spartan soldier, or Hoplite, wore armor that was very similar to other nations in their region.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan warriors wore a large bronze helmet, that protected their head, while still offering substantial visibility. A crested mane of horse hair, often indicated a ranking officer.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan shield, which we discussed previously was a rounded shield that was made of either bronze or wood, that could be used effectively as both a defensive and offensive piece of equipment.</p>\n\n<p>The letter lambda (Λ), standing for Laconia or Lacedaemon was painted on the Spartan warriors shield and was widely known during the period as a symbol of Sparta. This practice was adopted around 420 BC.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\"><img alt=\"The Spartan warrior's shield was revered by their society\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/strategy_move.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The Spartan shield was revered by their society and military families passed it on from one generation to the next.</p>\n\n<p>As body armor they wore bronze cuirasses, leg greaves and ankle guards to protect against slash attacks from their opponents.</p>\n\n<p>This armor would grow and evolve as warfare during the time period progressed, leading the Spartan armor to become even more lighter, allowing increased flexibility and mobility in combat.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>A Rigorous Life of Training From Birth</h2>\n\n<p>To put it simply, the life of a Spartan was not easy whether you were a man or a woman, as both were subjected to harsh demands and treatment from birth.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan warriors were however exclusively men and their lifetime of training as a warrior began from day one of birth.</p>\n\n<p>Babies were immediately inspected from the time of birth and were often discarded if any signs of defects were shown.</p>\n\n<p>A misconception is that they were tossed from a cliff if a defect was found, however, historians have shown that often times they were simply abandoned to the elements, in which they either succumbed, or were saved by a passer by.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan babies who passed inspection then had their constitution tested by being bathed in wine, rather than water.</p>\n\n<p>Their cries were typically ignored, as Spartan woman adopted a “tough love” approach and they were commanded never to fear darkness or solitude.</p>\n\n<p>Spartans believe this would result in hardened warriors from a young age, molding them into the men they wanted to represented their warrior society.</p>\n\n<h2>The Spartan Warriors Education Begins</h2>\n\n<p>At the age of seven, a Spartan boy was taken from his household and placed under the control of the state.</p>\n\n<p>This was known as the beginning of the Spartan agoge, or military training.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"At the age of seven, a Spartan boy would be taken from his household \" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta4.jpg\" style=\"width: 539px; height: 777px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>At this point they were housed in communal barracks with other young children their age, where they were taught scholastics, warfare, stealth, hunting and athletics until the age of twelve.</p>\n\n<p>Hazing was a common practice and instructors actively encouraged it, along with fights amongst peers.</p>\n\n<p>Once reaching the age of twelve, they were then stripped of all clothing, except that of a red cloak, forced to sleep outside and make their bedding out of reeds or whatever material they could scavenge.</p>\n\n<p>They were encouraged to steal for food, however if they were caught, they would be vigorously punished for it.</p>\n\n<p>This taught them to survive and prepared them for the harsh campaigns of war, in which they would often experience below sub par living conditions for extended periods of time.</p>\n\n<h2>Once a Spartan Warrior, Always a Spartan Warrior</h2>\n\n<p>Becoming a Spartan warrior was not a choice, it was your duty and it was one that lasted a lifetime.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan men remained on reserve until the age of 60, and given the average life expectancy of the time, this often meant that almost the entirety of your adult life was devoted to the ways of warfare and the training that surrounded it.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan men were discouraged from marrying until the age of 30 and woman were not allowed to marry until they were 20.</p>\n\n<p>Although they could marry before this time, it was frowned upon, as all Spartan men had to live in the military barracks until they were 30 years old.</p>\n\n<p>If they married before this time, they had to live separately from their wives and therefore it was not common practice.</p>\n\n<p>The main point of marriage was not for love, but rather for producing future Spartan warriors. Therefore men were encouraged to marry healthy, strong childbearing woman, or risked facing ridicule for not doing so.</p>\n\n<p>Poor physical fitness was something that was seen with disgust across the board in Spartan society and Spartans were encouraged to stay in peak physical shape at all times, at all phases in their life.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, this was so important, that you could find yourself banished if you fell too poorly out of shape.</p>\n\n<p>In battle, you remained a Spartan warrior until the bitter end. To surrender was considered the ultimate disgrace, resulting in Spartan military units fighting to the last man.</p>\n\n<p>This was so true, that a common saying that Spartan mothers said to their husbands and children before heading off to battle was “Return with your shield or on it.”</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/piAEzVOqHHU\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>The End of an Era</h2>\n\n<p>At the height of its power, the Spartan warrior was an unbreakable fighting machine, defeating foe after foe and winning them the reputation that still stands today.</p>\n\n<p>Their innovative phalanx formation in which Spartan soldiers fought shield to shield, advancing with thrusting spears against their enemies was a strategy that seemed unbeatable at the time.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to this fighting formation, was the code that all Spartan warriors lived and died by, that was taught to them from birth. </p>\n\n<p>This combination made an unbreakable, fearless force that stood unrivalled for centuries.</p>\n\n<p>Sadly, this unbending code would ultimately be what brought about the end of the Spartan era and their empire as a whole.</p>\n\n<p>Their unwillingness to change eventually resulted in Sparta's defeat by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC, which ended Sparta's prominent role in Greece.</p>\n\n<p>Once the curtain was pulled back and they were revealed to be just mere mortals and able to be defeated, there was no going back.</p>\n\n<p>Emboldened their opponents and enemies would continue to adapt and innovate new warfare fighting styles, using effective tactics such as long distance warfare, that the Spartans believe to be cowardly.</p>\n\n<p>Sparta remained as an independent state, even if weakened, until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC, ending an era and closing a chapter in mankind's history.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Spartan Warrior Statue\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta5.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 1238px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>In Conclusion</h2>\n\n<p>The Spartan warrior to this day is still thought of as one of the fearsome fighters in all of mankind's history. </p>\n\n<p>Their victories in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds are stories of legend.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan warrior code lives on to this day, as many modern militaries have adopted much of the training and tactics that were developed by these fearsome warriors during their reign of dominance.</p>\n\n<p>To this day, advanced militaries have a strict code of discipline, ensuring that troops stay in shape at all times, putting them through rigorous training programs and that they maintain their appearances to a high standard.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"The Spartan warrior code lives on to this day\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/spartan_warrior.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>This was the Spartan way, as they knew a well kept, well maintained fighting force could strike fear into the hearts of a less disciplined foe, defeating them even before they reached the battlefield.</p>\n\n<p>Unity was paramount to the success of the Spartan fighting force and is something that placed them leaps and bounds over many other military forces of the time. </p>\n\n<p>To this day, this is true, as a strong united fighting unit will often overcome a better equipped foe, even when outnumbered.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to the influence the Spartan Warrior has on our modern militaries of today, they have also affected our pop culture, resulting in massive hit titles such as “300” and “Rise of an Empire”, among many <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Games such as “Sparta: War of Empires”, have been massive successes, proving that the warrior mindset is still something to be desired and sought after to this very day and likely, until the end of time.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan’s rich and long history will live on forever.

It truly did adopt all of the characteristics that made 80’s and 90’s action movies what they were.</p>\n\n<h3>Super Mario Bros. (1993)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Super Mario was a very anticipated game to become a feature film\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/super_mario.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Many kids from the 90s may remember eagerly anticipating the release of this mega-title. It had <em>incredibly </em>high expectations from fans.</p>\n\n<p>That's unsurprising, given that people credit the Super Mario Franchise as being one of the biggest contributors to the growth of the video game industry.</p>\n\n<p>Sadly, unlike other video game movies, this one disappointed almost everyone who watched it. It was flat-out horrible and left many people scratching their heads at what they just watched.</p>\n\n<p>Was that <strong>Mario</strong>? Was that “thing” <strong>Bowser</strong>? Yet, this is exactly what has seen this horrible movie become so renowned among fans.</p>\n\n<p>Fans of video game movies love to hate Super Mario Bros because of how bad it is, which is why it’s become a <strong>cult classic</strong>.</p>\n\n<h3>Sonic the Hedgehog Movie (2020)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/szby7ZHLnkA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>If Mario had a movie, then <strong>Sonic </strong>definitely had to have one. Indeed, it wouldn’t be right to have dozens of movies inspired by video games and not give the fastest hedgehog in the world a place on the big screen.</p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, Sega and Paramount pictures felt the same which is why they recruited Pat Casey and Josh Miller to write Sonic the Hedgehog Movie.</p>\n\n<p>Like other video game movies, Sonic had a decent budget. In fact, the creators spent almost $90 million making it. For that money, they got Jeff Fowler as director and Jim Carey in a leading role (<strong>Dr Robotnik</strong>).</p>\n\n<p>Add to this Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic and you’ve got a great cast that brings the video game to life.</p>\n\n<p>As you’d expect, the movie sees Sonic protecting the world from another one of Dr Robotnik’s evil schemes. All of this combined to make this one of the best video game movies of all time based on revenue.</p>\n\n<p>As well as making $319 million at the box office, Sonic was the sixth biggest movie of 2020. And, it made more money than all video game movies before it.</p>\n\n<h3>Mortal Kombat (2021 & 1995)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-BQPKD7eozY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The original Mortal Kombat movie was one for the ages! In fact, it was such a hit that it spawned a franchise of its own.</p>\n\n<p>Today, Mortal Kombat is not only a wildly successful series of video games but also of movies. From live-action offerings to animations, these video game movies have told the story of multiple characters.</p>\n\n<p>The latest Mortal Kombat movie was released in April 2021 and tells the tale of Earthrealm vs. Outworld.</p>\n\n<p>This modern interpretation of the classic battle sees the return of popular fighters such as Bi-Han (aka Sub-Zero), Sonya Blade, and Liu Kang.</p>\n\n<p>We also get to see some modern twists thanks to characters such as Cole Young. He’s a former MMA champion who becomes embroiled in the battle.</p>\n\n<p>Having an MMA fighter in the mix taps into the zeitgeist and gives the latest Mortal Kombat a mainstream appeal.</p>\n\n<h2>Blockbuster Games Inspired By Movies</h2>\n\n<p>Next, we are going to look at the flipside of the coin: video games inspired by movies.</p>\n\n<p>Although there are dozens of games we could have picked, we’ve decided to highlight five games that were a hit with every type of player.</p>\n\n<h3>James Bond</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"James Bond was first a book, then a movie, and later even a video game\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/video_games_that_inspired_movies/jamesbond.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Numerous video game titles have been created that were based on James Bond movies, spanning back throughout the years.</p>\n\n<p>However, one stands out above the others due to its monstrous success. Goldeneye 007, which was based on the 1995 film of the same name, was one of Nintendo 64’s biggest smash hits.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, it’s credited for helping accelerate the popularity of first-person shooter video games.</p>\n\n<p>It sold over 8 million copies and was Nintendo’s third-largest seller for the Nintendo 64. Even today it is still fondly remembered by fans.</p>\n\n<h3>Spiderman</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Spiderman expanded its presence from a comic, to television, cinemas and several video games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/video_games_that_inspired_movies/spiderman.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 591px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The Marvel Cinematic Universe has spawned the creation of a whole catalog of video game titles and vice versa.</p>\n\n<p>One of the more popular characters, Spiderman, has been adapted into video games over and over again.</p>\n\n<p>One of the most popular movie video games within the franchise was released in 2018. It was well received for its amazing graphics and robust engine.</p>\n\n<h3>Batman</h3>\n\n<p>Not letting its rival pass it by, the DC Universe's Batman the game, was released for both the NES console as well as Gameboy advance, both of which were based on the popular 1989 film.</p>\n\n<p>Later on, we had “Batman Returns”, which was also based on the movie of the same title and was released for various consoles in 1992.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, if a Batman movie has been made, it has a video game adaptation.</p>\n\n<p>Not only have both Batman and Spiderman had several film and television iterations, but they have also become one of the main reasons for the ever growing popularity of <a href=\"/en/blog/comic-con/\">Comic-Con</a> and its competitors.</p>\n\n<h3>Lord of the Rings</h3>\n\n<p>One of the biggest grossing franchises of all time, the Lord of the Rings, has resulted in a string of movie video games.</p>\n\n<p>“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, was released in 2002 and was made readily available for all major consoles at the time.</p>\n\n<p>It was directly based on the movie adaptation of the series. As the years went on, more and more games were released based on this franchise, including “Middle-earth: Shadow of War\" which came out in 2017.</p>\n\n<h3>Fast & Furious Crossroads</h3>\n\n<p>Of all the video games inspired by movies, this one is the least surprising. Very few movie franchises have squeezed as much value out of a single idea as Fast & Furious.</p>\n\n<p>Moviegoers have probably lost count of how many Fast & Furious movies there are (eight main movies and one spinoff).</p>\n\n<p>Well, there are almost as many games. This doesn’t mean they’re bad.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, compared to other video games inspired by movies, Fast & Furious ones are among the best because they’re a natural fit. They’re based on cars and racing, something gamers love.</p>\n\n<p>Fast & Furious Crossroads game out in 2020 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
