As a US presidential hopeful, you want to make sure you have your message spread to as many corners of the country as possible. This is likely the reason why Democratic nominee Joe Biden has an island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which will be toured by Kinda Funny Games today, October 16th, at 2:00 p.m. EDT in a...

Halloween events are piling up faster than we can write them up - here are a few you should keep your eye on! Elder Scrolls Online: The Witches Festival returns next week, starting October 22nd. "Throughout this terror-filled term, you can receive repulsive rewards in the form of spoopy Plunder Skull containers, a 100% XP boost, Event Tickets, and collectibles." Star...

In Explaining Genshin Impact’s impact: The reinvention of gachapon, I went into the nitty-gritty of the gacha system and how it's actually pretty easy to digest for the larger market. In this piece, however, I'll be digging into the gameplay and mechanics themselves and tackle whether or not this game is worth your sweet, precious time. Gameplay first, gacha second In...

So let's just get this out of the way upfront: ArcheAge Unchained's rollout a year ago did not go as well as Gamigo was hoping.

And that means getting...

It was a big deal when World of Warcraft streamer and esports star Reckful passed away this summer, with large parts of the game's community coming out to offer tributes in his honor.

Earlier this year, MOP's Tyler noted that StarCraft II had quietly become Blizzard's best-managed game, with updates and events rolling out even a decade after its release. And that's a shame because now StarCraft II will become quiet, period. Blizzard posted a letter on the StarCraft II site to announce that it was putting an end to active development for...

When Final Fantasy XIV's 5.35 patch arrived this week, the hardcore XIV players on the Massively OP team had very mixed reactions. One triumphed in the guild land rush; one did not. I don't like seeing our writers - or any MMO players -that glum. It burns me up that a game as huge as popular and rich as...
