Massively Overpowered

We've seen a lot of different MMOs come across our desk over the years, but so far there haven't been any titles that revolved around herbs as a theme. Well, that's about to change, as Germany-based Rigem Works is cooking up a "classical MMORPG" called The Herb. It's a lot more fun if you think of that title as a...

Progress and change are the watchwords of Camelot Unchained this late summer, as Chris Junior - formerly of the RIFT and EverQuest II teams - has taken over the role of Game Designer for the project. "I really am excited about getting to the point where I can interact with the community, but for right now there is so...

I'm not a minigame person in general - for example, I have long made known my rage for Polymock. (Curse you, Polymock!) But I recently stumbled into an even worse minigame while rereading an article I wrote back in 2015, in part about Revival. Y'all remember Revival, right? It's canceled now, but it was a grimdark sandbox promising all...

As much as the name inspires it, life's not all singing and dancing in New World. Unless you count dodging as a new dance! Massively OP's MJ hasn't wandered too far into this realm yet, so she's sashaying back to the shipwreck to continue with a second day of adventures. Will she make it off the beach? Tune in...

The words that people find harmful or hurtful to them is a deeply personal experience in a variety of cases, and while there are a number of words and terms that are not kosher anywhere, Steam is hoping to give its users more control over the terms that they take umbrage with thanks to some new chat filtering features,...

We've always been a mixture of intrigued and skeptical of Last Oasis' devotion to its woodpunk aesthetic, but bless this team's courageous hearts, the game hasn't wavered from making wood THE building material of the post-apocalyptic future. Case in point, this week Last Oasis is adding exosuits. But unlike the metal frames that you might see in most games, these...

This past Friday, the folks at Digital Extremes held yet another home devstream for Warframe, and as one would expect, it was pretty much all about the recently released Heart of Deimos update. During the stream players got a sneak peek at a number of future goodies due in later updates including some Infested Kitguns which can have their parts...

For those who might not play Pokemon Go, our own coverage of the Mega Evolution release day probably was a small hint that the feature's release was less than well-received once people discovered the actual mechanics of the new evolution, and now, Niantic has admitted it needs player feedback to solve the problem. So here's why everyone's upset: Unlike most...

Did you miss out on the last time Black Desert had seasonal servers? Fret not, because they're coming back on Wednesday, September 2nd, and the devs at Pearl Abyss have offered up a whole slew of details, including how to make a seasonal character, the goodies waiting for players as they level up, and even information on how to...

Calling Star Citizen an MMO is probably charitable in the eyes of some (or even calling it a game, there now you can't make that snide comment yourself, I beat you to it, neener-neener), considering that players currently log on to one of several random servers that hold 50 players at once and only have a slightly limited amount...
