Have you ever met someone in a random Overwatch match and been absolutely certain that they must be cheating, that no one is that good? That's exactly what happened to a 17-year-old Korean player who goes by the handle of Gegury. Only she wasn't in a random match; she was playing in the qualifying rounds of a championship, and...

Warcraft has become the most successful film adaptation of a video game

0
The strength of its success at the Chinese box office has led Warcraft to be the single most successful video game adaptation film to date, with its current worldwide totals passing $377 million. That's largely due to its success in China, which has earned the movie over $200 million by itself; its domestic take has fallen considerably on its...

Star Citizen changes refund clause for new backers, plans procedurally generated planets for 2.7

0
There's no doubt that Star Citizen has sold a massive flotilla of ships and raised staggering amounts of money... but what if the game doesn't actually release the goods on time? A safety net guaranteeing a refund if RSI slipped its delivery date too greatly has been altered to eliminate this assurance. A change in the terms of service has removed wording that...

E3 2016: Master X Master might be the most MMO-like MOBA around

0
Despite Eliot's positive experience with Master X Master at PAX East back in April, I went into my demo at this year's E3 expecting very little. While I'm far from a MOBA master, I've sunk some time into several non-mainstream titles hoping to spice up the genre and rarely stick with them for long. Happily, though MXM may suffer the same...

0
Back in April, I wrote a Daily Grind about MMORPG classes we hate to play, and rogues and thieves topped my list. But I made an exception: rogues and thieves in Elder Scrolls games. And now I'm playing The Elder Scrolls Online myself (catch Larry and me on stream later today!) and guess what? Yep, I rolled my usual...

The Stream Team: More Marvel Heroes Monday mayhem

Thankfully, that is over, and she's able to dive back in and revel in all its super-ness . Even better, the anniversary celebration is going on, so there is plenty of cake to be gobbled up and goodies to acquire....

EverQuest II’s Moonlight Enchantment magically appears

0
For those in the northern hemisphere (best hemisphere #1!), today is the start of summer and the longest day of the year. There must be something magical in the air because this day has also triggered the start of EverQuest II's summer Moonlight Enchantment events. Moonlight Enchantment is a very limited-time -- albeit recurring -- event during which players can seek...

0
APB: Reloaded's community manager learned the hard way about the importance of account security, as her account was hacked over the weekend. "Yes, my forum/game account was compromised and they thought it would be fun to create havoc," CM Tiggs said. "We've now got it secured and I cleaned up the small mess that they made.
