If you've got an extensive minion collection in Final Fantasy XIV and want to throw down to see if your minions can beat up someone else's minions, you are in luck. The next major patch for the game adds in the Lord of Verminion battle system to the Gold Saucer, sending your loyal companions and wind-up figures onto the...

Is everyone ready to tear down the gates and jump into Albion Online? Well, not everyone gets to do so just yet; the game is only entering closed beta. On the plus side, the game is entering closed beta, with a staggered rollout to differing levels of Founders pack owners. Legendary Founders get in on November 23rd, while Epic...
