Massively Overpowered

Do you want to properly simulate the feeling of flying through World of Warcraft on the back of a gryphon? There's an app for that. Well, for the visual part that lines up with the upcoming Warcraft movie, at least. To fully simulate the feeling, you should watch nothing but that while a very high-speed fan blows wind in...

The year thus far has not been the best possible year for Star Citizen. The game has seen a few people depart from prominent positions, delays to planned release schedules, and an essay by the ever-contentious Derek Smart claiming the game will never be made as pitched. Community manager Ben Lesnick addressed these concerns in a lengthy forum post yesterday,...

I've been eyeballing Destiny lately, even before that shiny PS4 announcement and even though I was underwhelmed when I played the game on one of those beta weekends last year. I may pick it up with the new PlayStation bundle at some point, but I dunno. I'd also kinda like to get that Forza Xbox One bundle and I...

Bungie has unveiled a reward for Destiny's year one players. Achieving said reward sounds pretty grindy, as you'll need to complete all of the Moments of Triumph by September 9th in order to pick up a special Laurea Prima emblem for your in-game guardian. It's kind of an odd reward, as one-year loyalty rewards go, since it's available to anyone who completes the challenges...

EA has released a new dev blog by Knights of the Fallen Empire creative director Jesse Sky. Sky likens Star Wars: The Old Republic's forthcoming expansion to The Empire Strikes Back, and speaks of a long-held desire to tell a Star Wars tale with similar twists, betrayals, and revelations. Sky says that SWTOR will be getting back to BioWare's roots as a roleplaying...

You don't have to scrounge for everything you need in ARK: Survivor Evolved -- sometimes goods fall from the sky! Everyone knows MassivelyOP's MJ cannot resist a shiny, and the supply drops are the biggest shinies of all. No, seriously, you can practically see them from the other side of the island! And inside each capsule is an assortment...

Rockstar has pushed part two of its Ill-Gotten Gains patch out to GTA Online's live servers. There are plenty of new clothes, new weapons, and new vehicles, including the Progen T20, which Rockstar says is one of the fastest cars in the game. Or how about the Vindicator motorcycle that features a kinetic energy recovery system which stores energy...

Frontier CEO David Braben is interviewed at VideoGamer.com, and he has some interesting nuggets both for fans of Elite: Dangerous and for industry watchers in general. While Braben enjoys virtual reality, he also sounds less than optimistic about its mass market appeal. "Seeing your kids on the sofa, even more disconnected than they are now, with headphones and headsets on,...

It might be time to dig out that mostly-forgotten EverQuest Worlds mobile app, especially if you've been playing one of Daybreak's fantasy titles. The studio announced that it's not only added a few new features, but new MMO rewards that can be earned by beating the content. A recent update added in a minigame, trivia game, and a questline. The...

The Finnish courts sentenced 17-year-old Lizard Squad member Julius "zeekill" Kivimaki today, but Daybreak's John Smedley isn't having any of it. Convicted so far of a staggering 50,700 computer crimes to date with more on the way, the e-thug was given a virtual slap on the wrist in the form of a suspended sentence -- that is, no prison time...
