The Daily Grind: What do you think about Knights of the Fallen Empire?

154
I'm kinda feeling the urge to play Star Wars: The Old Republic. Can you blame me? There's a new expansion, but more importantly that glorious film trailer has been looping on my desktop for seemingly half of its 38 million views. I haven't succumbed to the SWTOR urge, though, and so I have a question for those of you who have....

Path of Exile turns two years old today, and MassivelyOP's MJ is jumping in to celebrate -- by setting things on fire!

I've been looking forward to Black Desert for quite a long while. Sure, the B2P-with-an-item-mall business model dampens my enthusiasm, but I'm still keen on exploring the game's open world and seeing if one of the few big budget MMO sandboxes ever released will fare better than the last one. There's a lot to be worried about, though, and yes, I...

Camelot Unchained reveals its Shapeshifter classes

75
I think I found my preferred class in Camelot Unchained. It's called the Black Rider, and "while their attacks may not be as physically powerful as those of their opposing realms’ counterparts, their ability to spread fear and use their severed heads and spinal cords as weapons makes them quite the challenging foe," CityState says in its latest class...

While the main event of the EVE Online community calendar is undoubtedly the annual EVE Fanfest in Iceland, smaller fan-run events have popped up around the world over the years to accommodate players who don't fancy traveling to the arctic circle. Probably the biggest of these events is EVE Vegas, which is happening right now in the Planet Hollywood...
