Massively Overpowered

One of the questions that I received after my debut Marvel Heroes column was, "Can you explain how to play this game for free?" And sure, I could've been snarky and replied, "You just boot up the game and play without spending money on it," but then I realized that this was asked by one of my friends who...

It isn't all sunshine and daisies for PlanetSide 2, even following yesterday's massive PlayStation 4 launch. For starters, the European servers for all PlayStation versions were taken down soon after the console release due to a technical issue and have yet to be restored. Speaking of Europe, Daybreak said that German law is forcing a fee of about 0.5€ on...

Trove is really leaving beta for real, and to celebrate, the developers want players to break the servers tomorrow. If necessary. Ideally, the servers will handle any load without so much as flinching. But the goal is to have a stress test on June 25th, and if you aren't naturally inclined to flood the game's servers with login efforts...

The kraken? Oh, the kraken in ArcheAge was so last week's terrifying sea foe. Now the fantasy sandbox has a new threat emerging from the deeps: the leviathan. In yesterday's Devouring Depths patch, ArcheAge released the leviathan into the wild. While the creature promises tremendous rewards for those who best it, doing so will require an immense show of naval...

Inclusion has always been a big priority for Guild Wars 2, and that cause has taken another step forward as of yesterday's patch. A character named Sya is in the game now, and if you talk to her briefly, she reveals that you met her before in the Bloodtide Coast, but she was going by her birth name of Symon...

After several delays, The Division is heading toward beta testing, and you can get in on it. The first beta test will be on the Xbox One with a later test planned for all available platforms, and players have two ways to aim for a spot, either by signing up or pre-ordering the game. Pre-orders get assured beta access to...

Skyforge has entered its final beta test, which means that open beta and soft launch is just around the corner. If you've been watching the game with interest since its initial announcement, there's a sense of completeness at its impending launch, and no small measure of satisfaction... but at the same time, we're not out of the woods yet....

Judging video game eye candy is one of the most subjective activities in our hobby, is it not? Everyone has a different standard (and tolerance) for beauty, which can extend to art style, palettes, locales, animation, and lens flares. We know which way J.J. Abrams will vote whenever he sees that last one. There are a lot of good-looking MMOs...

Even though MassivelyOP's MJ adores EverQuest II now, she's looking forward to jumping into the upcoming progression servers herself and starting life over from scratch. After all, she occasionally gets paralyzed by how much there is to do after 10 years, so going back to a simpler time will be liberating! And although she can't yet divulge them yet, she...

What? Massively OP's MJ has more Skyforge beta keys to give away? Yes she does! And now that the fourth closed beta test has opened its doors, she can invite you along as she finally continues her sci-fi adventure there. It's not as if she needs any special reason to jump back in and show off games -- she'll...
