Prominent Black activists and journalists will lead We The...

The other day in the MOP virtual office, Chris and I were talking about how we're kind of glad to see Torchlight 3 appear on the scene -- not because we think it's anything revolutionary (at least, not right now), but because it's always welcome to have an online game that caters to bite-sized gaming sessions when you don't...

AQ3D has had a number of events with server-wide point accumulation, but the new summer war weekend event is game-wide!

ArcheAge Unchained is ready for the summer season with the newly released ArchePass that's full of cosmetics to get into the warmer time of the year, including swimsuits of all sorts, splash emotes, and a hammock item.

When you are a superhero, you bring the fireworks with you! There's plenty of reason to sparkle and shine in Champions Online this weekend, staring with the return of the Patriot's Celebration -- a two-for-one event that marks Canada and Independence Day in the game.

Today would have been The Secret World's eighth anniversary. Well, it still exists, but the game isn't live. So to celebrate her favorite IP, Massively OP's MJ will jump into Secret World Legends. Perhaps she'll join in more of the MEGAversary event, or assist in accomplishing achievements, or help summon the Hatekeeper. More than likely she'll wander through her...
