Massively Overpowered

This week in MMO crowdfunding news, Gloria Victis developer Black Eye Games let us know that it's in "the home stretch" in terms of upgrading its fantasy sandbox to the Unity 5 engine. What's the big deal with that? Well, a 50 percent framerate increase, for starters, not to mention improved eye candy. Elsewhere, indie PvP sandbox Das Tal officially kicked...

Which Overwatch character are you going to pick when you get into the beta? That's a hard call to make before you can actually get in and sample each of them, although preview videos are the next best thing in making this decision. Today we've got two Overwatch gameplay videos for you, both showing off a PvP match in this...

If you're like me, you bought into Star Citizen way back in 2012 and you haven't dropped a dime since. Don't get me wrong because I'm still looking forward to Cloud Imperium's space sandbox opus like no other game, but I don't see the point of spending real money on pretend spaceships that I'll be earning in the finished title anyway. Fortunately...

It was the 31st century, where feuding factions decided to settle their differences by throwing multi-ton war robots at each other. It was also 1984, when Jordan Weisman and L. Ross Babcock III created a tabletop wargame called BattleTech (originally BattleDroids). This new game allowed players to pit heavily-armed 'Mechs against each other in a fight to the brutal,...

Earlier this week, Massively OP's MJ and Larry jumped into Star Wars: The Old Republic on the Republic side to take advantage of the 12x story XP. However, the two were sidetracked by the Gree event. This time they promise to focus on stories, but favoring the Imperial side with their presence instead. One thing will remain the same, however:...

The above screenshot is from Fantasy Earth Zero, a title that was developed by Square-Enix, launched to a resounding thud, got resurrected by another company, launched in the US and then closed a hot minute later. It had a tumultuous history is what I'm getting at here. I kind of liked it, although not enough to put it first...

You want to hear something weird? For as much crap as WildStar got about its path system, I actually do love to explore in that game even if I'm not being incentivized to do so. I never know what I'll find as I poke around and have been occasionally rewarded by neat vistas, cool hoverboard jumps, or the odd...

There are plenty of ways to make money in GTA Online, from missions to heists to nabbing cars and selling them to the shops. One really fun away is by racing, and MassivelyOP's MJ loves to race! Her vehicle of choice is a motorbike, but you can also jockey for first place in cars, bicycles, monster trucks and off-roaders...

I'm not going to lie to you, dear readers: I don't care much about Star Citizen. I am aware, though, that the actual big news about the game over the past week was a big information drop regarding the game's FPS module. But for my money, the big thing was the silly little Flash-based shooter. That's the sort of stuff...

Mortal Online is getting a new continent this Sunday. It's called Sarducca, and it's home to a bunch of soldier fanatics who are loyal to the Padishah Emperor. Actually, scratch all that except the Sarducca part. With the new continent, the fantasy PvP sandbox is "growing to more than double" its previous size, according to developer and Star Vault CEO...
