Massively Overpowered

Every time Camelot Unchained does another class reveal, I think I've found my new favorite class. First it was the Black Riders who use their severed heads and spinal cords as weapons. Then it was the Specters and their mask-wearing mastery of fear. Today it's the Flame Warden, which is more in line with the fireball-throwing mage that I...

Infinity: Battlescape looks to have a little momentum on Kickstarter. I-Novae's seamless space battler is over two thirds of the way to its $300,000 goal with just under two weeks to go. The title may pick up a few more backers, too, thanks to positive word of mouth and the endorsement of some space sim bigwigs around the industry. What about...

There's an expansion in the works for World of Warcraft. That's not news. It's the details of that expansion that fans have been anxiously awaiting ever since the expansion was first announced in August. Now that BlizzCon is here, we're finally getting more details, and just for the heck of it we thought we'd go ahead and liveblog the...

Rust is the latest online game to open up an item store, but it's actually more interesting than it sounds. The store sells only player-created items, allowing gamers to make money on their designs.

Activision Blizzard Studios will be headed up by former Disney exec Nick van Dyk and focus first on an animated TV show called Skylanders Academy and "a robust cinematic universe based on the Call of Duty franchise," with a target date of...

Black Desert's English-language website has just gone live. It's a bit bare right now, though Daum is hyping videos from Paris Games Week. The site includes user registration and newsletter signups, but official forums have been slightly delayed. On Reddit, Daum CMs told players, There is always that last minute bug. I see our devs are working hard to bring back...

Good news, Path of Exile fans: The next expansion for the game hasn't been announced, but it has been announced that it's going to be announced. Soon, anyhow; the expansion announcement is currently planned for the end of the month, while details of the next major content patch is planned for the end of next week. So if you've...

There's a new player on the MMO scene, and this bad boy wants to do military action right. The game in question is Escape from Tarkov by Russian developer Battlestate Games. In the MMO, players will join up with one of two military factions investigating (and assuming from the title, trying to leave) the mysterious city of Tarkov. The game will...

I broke down and bought The Crew on PC, mostly because it was briefly on sale for 13 bucks. I'd been meaning to pick up Ubisoft's open-world racer ever since its December 1, 2014 release date, but one game led to another, and frankly, all the lukewarm reviews bumped it down my list.
