Can Elder Scrolls Online take root in an eastern country such as Japan? That's what we're going to find out, as ESO will be launching a Japanese server in spring 2016. The news came out of the Tokyo Game Show, where it was also announced that DMM Games will be handling the operation in the country. This will mark the game's...

When I heard that Disney's first foray into the new Star Wars gaming universe was a mobile-only RPG, it made me sort of angry. Not Vader-force-choking-his-wife angry, but angry enough to indulge in a brief dark side daydream involving lightsabers! See, I started gaming in the 1980s because of Star Wars.

Cryptic has been talking up Champions Online's new Supervillain Onslaught mode over the past month, and now it is finally here! Players can temporarily step into the shoes (or boots or claws) of a mighty supervillain by using an onslaught device on a hero that's at least level 10 or higher. Alternatively, players can fight against these controlled villains and...
