How would you like to play Diablo with David Brevik? Well... you can't! You might be able to do the next best thing, though, which is play Marvel Heroes with David Brevik. Yesterday's Marvel Heroes patch notes mentions that Brevik will be playing as the Cow King and grouping with players, dropping rewards, and granting special buffs at some...

The Daily Grind: Are MOBAs destined for a Great Crash?

99
Make no mistake, even with the recent launch of Heroes of the Storm, MOBAs are crashing and burning all over the place these days. We've seen titles like Transformers Universe, Solstice Arena, Infinite Crisis, Dawngate, and Wrath of Heroes flame out against the shared monopoly of League of Legends and Dota 2, and the consensus around the Massively OP...
It lives!

Betawatch: June 19th, 2015

8
You could be forgiven for sort of forgetting about The Division. No matter how much it might have interested you at first, the game kind of dropped off the radar for half of forever. But now it's on track for a winter beta and a launch next year, and we found out a bit about the game from E3,...

The Stream Team: Tearing through SWTOR story missions with a vengeance

8
There's this little game called SWTOR... maybe you've heard of it? And it is getting an expansion soon, one that's all about the story. So what better way for MassivelyOP's Larry and MJ to spend their time than doing some story missions while conversing about Knights of the Fallen Empire? (Not to mention after MJ's recent adventures, she's rather...

Eternal Crusade reveals Belial, gears up for sub-faction vote

9
Did you catch the Eternal Crusade livestream earlier today? If not, you missed the reveal of Belial, the new Space Marines leader and the Grand Master of the Deathwing. Which is kind of an impressive title, even if, like me, you have no clue what it means. The reveal post outlines Belial's exalted history and also says that players will...

Addressing complaints that respawning mobs and resources are broken in Landmark, Daybreak came out today to say that, on the contrary, everything is working as intended.

Anarchy Online’s long-awaited engine upgrade looks to be coming soon

68
"You've waited, it's coming. In this year of 29489 on Rubi-Ka, you will see it," Anarchy Online's Twitter feed trumpeted today. We'll see what? You don't mean... you can't mean... the new graphics engine? That mythical beast of legend, widely discussed but rarely seen and usually dismissed as a fairy tale? It looks like this is the case, especially now...

See a pair of high-octane Overwatch matches

6
Got a few minutes? Then we've got some action eye candy for you, straight from the land of Overwatch. Blizzard recently released two videos of in-game matches featuring bespectacled gorilla Winston and lethal sniper Widowmaker. These gameplay videos are great not just to see how the game engine is performing in alpha but to get a feel for how these...
This is my surprised face.

E3 2015: The Division’s Dark Zone demo does the game no favors

76
After covering the development of Ubisoft's The Division since 2013, I finally got my hands on the game itself -- and its PvP -- at this year's E3. It's not exactly a true MMO, but it's got online co-op, tablet-assisted play, and an "end of the world" setting free of zombies, all of which should translate to hype. New details...
Like Aion, except... something something.
