Massively Overpowered

OK kids, summer vacation is over; it's time to get back to work in World of Warcraft! Patch 6.2: Fury of Hellfire went live today, adding a substantial update with plenty to keep adventurers occupied over the next few weeks. The highlights of the patch include the Invasion of Tanaan Jungle zone, shipyards for Garrisons, naval missions, the Hellfire Citadel...

Bethesda, the parent company of ZeniMax Online studios, had an amazing showing at E3 this year, but unfortunately, no one from the Elder Scrolls Online team was there to talk about anything that was happening with the game despite the console launch landing literally the week before. I don't want to speculate on how much Bethsoft actually cares for...

There are certain phrases you really want to be able to use but don't expect to in a first impressions piece. That headline is one of them. I will freely admit that I have not seen every scrap of content in Heavensward yet. I will also freely admit that I'm predisposed to like the game and the expansion; this has...

Reports have been coming in concerning a major duping exploit in the early access title. By taking advantage of this loophole, players had been mass...

After a couple years of development, it's easy to feel that we're no closer to Lineage Eternal actually launching. But that's not true; NCsoft is hard at work, it seems, and the game has just entered focus group testing. It's not precisely a full beta, but darn it, it's something. Work with us. Focus group testing will last until June 26th,...

You can upgrade older ships in Star Trek Online, but your upgraded Tier 5 Battlecruiser just isn't the same as a Tier 6 version of the same ship. It's a bit disappointing. Or it would be, if not for the fact that you can soon get a Tier 6 version of the ship from the C-Store, complete with the...

Destiny has already launched some downloadable expansions for itself, and they've been cheaper than the upcoming The Taken King. In fact, they've been much cheaper than The Taken King's Collector's Edition, which contains several bits of physical swag and some exclusive emotes, which has caused considerable uproar in the Destiny community, particularly veterans who feel they're being asked to rebuy...

After months of anticipation for the community, Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion launches today. Heavensward is available now for players who didn't preorder or jump in on early access, offering a raised level cap, new areas, new instances, three new jobs, more story... in short, more of Final Fantasy XIV.
