Massively Overpowered

Just because it's a holiday week doesn't mean that Marvel Heroes is going to call it a day and go eat a ton of turkey. On the contrary, the superhero title has added its 53rd hero, Magik, to the roster and is hosting a Thanksgiving event. Magik was the result of a fan vote for a new character and is...

Still feeling sad about the loss of that MMO about vampires stalking the streets? Dogma: Eternal Night is a game about a world where it is dark. You might even call it the "place of not-brightness." And it's on Kickstarter right now, if a sandbox MMORPG based around vampiric player characters sounds like exactly your cup of tea. The current...

Unlike some other developers who like to think they understand the Killer type, ZeniMax Online Studios has a decent perspective on what makes that group of players tick. However, another post -- the Veteran...

Can an apocalypse happen after the apocalypse? That's the ironic state of affairs for H1Z1, which will be experiencing a full server wipe tomorrow with a new patch that promises to make the game more stable. The wipe will get rid of all inventory, characters, names, storage, and player-built structures while leaving account items intact. Daybreak said that it's taking measures...

Brad McQuaid's Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is an MMO that's suffered more than its fair share of drama and setbacks, but even detractors will agree that its creators appear utterly determined to see it made. In fact, this past fall, Visionary Realms acquired fresh investors, produced a new website, hired new employees, and demoed a playable build. CEO Chris Rowan, CCO Brad McQuaid, and...

Throughout November, we've been covering The Repopulation's troubles with Idea Fabrik, the company that runs Hero Engine, on which The Repopulation was built.
