Massively Overpowered

It looks like CCP's newest mobile game is already a smash hit. According to the studio, EVE Echoes has already crossed one million players -- and counting.

Destiny 2 appears to be wearing its MMO-ness like a snuggly coat if a couple of recent articles are to be believed, what with its love affair for dungeon design and its upcoming system that will lock up old content to keep things in the world fresh. In one, we get a close look at the design of the...

Is there any MMO soundtrack that arrived with such incredible expectations and baggage as Destiny? If so, I can't recall it. We have not only the legacy of Halo's scores (which are for some gamers the only soundtrack they know and revere) but also the saga of Composer Martin O'Donnell's firing and the boon of picking up (of all...

What's next for shooting people with your handheld weaponry in Star Citizen? That was the subject of the latest weekly developer roundtable which brought on Jonny Jacevicius and Chris Parry to talk about upcoming features that are in the works for the game's FPS combat.

The upcoming legal clash between Apple and Epic Games has mostly featured a competition by Epic to secure mind share, painting the company in general and Fortnite in specific as victims of Apple's overbearing policies through parody ads and a petty competition. Some recently released information as part of a court filing from Apple might damage some of that...

World of Warcraft Classic is one big happy family again -- but maybe not quite that happy. Following a decision to re-implement layering tech this past April to handle overpopulation issues, Blizzard announced on Friday that it was removing these layers for all of the realms.
