The idea was that players would build custom PvP arenas the same way they build custom guild bases. Now the studio is showing off some of the very best, be they tunnel-based, candyland-based, or snowscape-based. My favorite is the one that's actually an...

When Path of Exile launches its Ascendancy expansion, your character builds will have new skills to play with, and many of those new skills are meant to change the ways you use those builds. The newest skill revealed is the Earthquake ability, a melee skill that is all about having a slow weapon and shortening the duration on the...

There were a lot of events planned for Star Wars: The Old Republic in December. Sure, they were the game's usual repeating events, but there were still a lot of them.
