Massively Overpowered

This is the weekend that Americans will get out their grills, shoot off some fireworks, and celebrate their independence from the tyranny of dinosaurs. Playing games like ARK is the obviously best way to honor the founding fathers' bravery as they went toe-to-toe with prehistoric beasts and eventually subjugated the giant lizard-birds. This is all a round-about way of saying that...

The Tower of Eternity is a big deal in Aion's lore. One could even describe it as the nexus around which the rest of the game has been built. Now, after having been sealed off for centuries, the field protecting the tower is wearing off, giving players a chance to storm the tower and recover an artifact that may...

ECO's alpha 4 update is now live, and boy is it a major patch for the upcoming sandbox. Several major systems have been added to the game in it, including power, buildings, food, logging, and property. The politically minded might appreciate the inclusion of elections and taxes, while the explorers will probably rejoice that ECO has added a spherical map...

If you've been away from Vindictus for a while, you might be wondering what's going on with the game. The answer is that it's still hacking and slashing along with its various characters, including a new character set to be introduced on July 14th. Delia wields a two-handed sword and hacks her way through foes with graceful, arcing strikes,...

We already know that RIFT's 3.7 update is trotting out a lot of new content in addition to the return of Summerfest, but what hasn't been as widely touted are all of the new housing decor and building blocks that will come with the patch. Fortunately, fan site Dimension Gallery is all over this. A new video shows off all...

You can't preview Landmark's new fantasy appearance pack before buying, but MassivelyOP's MJ can offer you the next best thing: She'll show off the options! Will she lean toward pointy teeth or pointy ears? What color skin goes best with horns? And what do the new faces look like? Tune in live at 2:00 p.m. to get a look...

The Kelvin timeline is edging its way into Star Trek Online, but only in little ways here and there. There are incursions from the timeline that players will have to deal with with the release of Agents of Yesterday, for example. And then there are the ships, traits, and uniforms found within the Kelvin Lock Box, allowing you to...

We've had our eye on AdventureQuest 3D since its successful Kickstarter bid last year. It's the spiritual successor to a massively popular flash game, only this MMORPG version is fully 3-D, cross-platform, and free-to-play but not pay-to-win. It's been in closed testing for backers for a while now, but on July 19th, it's opening the floodgates and heading into open...

Every week, in Final Fantasy XI, the three main player nations are competing in a form of passive PvP known as conquest. The nation with the most influence in a given region (achieved primarily by killing stuff within that region) gains control of it; the nation with influence in the largest number of regions gets the first-place slot in...

The 100th episode of Star Citizen's Around the Verse landed last night, kicked off by some incredible in-game dogfighting footage from a fan. The highlight -- for me, anyway -- comes around 9 minutes in during the segment on the female avatar's modeling and skinning. She's not done yet, particularly when it comes to animations and gear, but she's...
