If you need a reason to log into RuneScape this weekend, how does double XP grab you? Jagex says that the majority of training methods are doubled for paying customers, while freeloaders get a 20 percent boost. The event lasts through 12:00 UTC on Monday, September 28th.

Maybe it's my active imagination, but I like to believe that my characters are relieved when I log out of games, because then they can go home for some much-deserved rest and relaxation. Perhaps they take up hobbies or go on dates or start internet petitions about how forcing avatars to engage in non-stop combat is a particularly cruel...

I really hope your plans for the immediate future didn't include playing the full retail release for Sword Coast Legends, because the game's launch has been delayed for a second time until October 20th. That's the bad news; the good news is that the game is indeed still holding its early access period as promised, so you'll at least...

On the third day of SWTOR Story, the Empire brought to me: more light and dark side choices. Well, MassivelyOP's MJ and Larry certainly hope so anyway! During the last episode of Choose My Alignment, there simply weren't many alignment-altering choices to be made in the Imperial City. Now that the pair has gotten away from there, perhaps there...

The pictures show the main character, Lorraine, for the first time, as well as the infamous Bogeyman and some haunted bumper-cars. Creative Director Joel Bylos said that The Park is raring to go: "It is great to see...

Earlier this week we got a taste of Pedro Camacho's orchestral score for Star Citizen. I loved it, but I've also been putting together my own personal Star Citizen playlist over the past couple of years. As I look at it, it's heavy on electronic music similar to EVE Online's soundtrack, with a few random orchestral tracks scattered in for...

It was a big week for fans of Elite: Dangerous, as Frontier called attention to a bunch of stuff that's in the works and talked up its space sim at the EGX gaming show. The biggest deal is of course planetary landings, featuring both planetary and lunar surfaces that offer "new activities, new enemies, and whole new ways to experience Elite: Dangerous,"...
