So when Trion Worlds Senior Producer Merv Lee Kwai and Producer Amanda Fry invited me to tour and chat about Bloodsong before its launch today, I whistled a happy tune and jumped right...

The "Beast" part of Black Desert's Beauty and the Beast contest officially kicked off this morning. Daum invites future players to download the game's character creator, create a character, take a screenshot, and upload it to the contest site along with the customization file to enter the contest. The character, Daum says, should "look as ugly as possible," because how...

In the last edition of Flameseeker Chronicles, I discussed the Guild Wars 2 Winter 2016 update that releases today in great detail, so I'm really excited to follow that up with my initial impressions of the revamped Shatterer fight in this edition! I was invited to play through the encounter for myself in advance of its release today: I played...

How do you feel about robots shooting other robots? If you would rate your feelings in that department as "Strongly Positive" or better, you will want to keep your eyes peeled for Livelock. Perfect World Entertainment is publishing the top-down cooperative shooter in 2016 for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One consoles. Livelock takes place after the nigh-complete end...
