Massively Overpowered

In honor of PlanetSide 2's launch on the PlayStation 4 yesterday, MassivelyOP's MJ is returning to the battle! However, on the PC there's no starter continent for her to land on, so she'll be diving right into the thick of things on a new server and as a new faction. Join us live at 8:00 p.m. to see how...

EVE Online's latest dev blog talks about upcoming fleet changes, though it also says that due to player feedback, said changes have been pushed back to the August 25th release.

World of Tanks never interested me much. World of Warplanes nailed the subject matter but unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations for an aerial combat title.
