She's testing the waters as a witch, so tune in live at 8:00 p.m. to share this experience -- and any pointers you may have...

Star Conflict got a new trailer today, and that's because the game's 1.1.3 update is a biggun. Corporations can fight to control global map locations, assuming they have a dreadnought, which is required for establishing and maintaining your rule. Corp CEOs are in charge of the dreadnought construction process as well as deciding what targets to attack (or defend). Corp pilots...

WildStar's getting a new zone and it's called Star-Comm Basin. Carbine senior game designer Scott Hafner has penned a dev blog that previews the new content, which includes "fiendish" new enemies, daily rotating quests, new loot, and public events. The fiends in question are some of the "biggest and baddest" enemies in the game, including Grimvoid Marauders, Purewater Ikthians, and Strain,...

Camelot Unchained's Mark Jacobs has posted a Thursday afternoon update that's basically required reading if you're a fan of the fantasy RvR title. He talks about a whole bunch of stuff including last week's successful 24-hour alpha test and the recent announcement of the spirit pet stretch goal. Jacobs mentions some curious new gameplay wherein the player sets up a series...

It's no secret that EverQuest II has a plethora of quests. The moniker surely fits: There are so many quests that it's impossible to do everything in a zone before out-leveling it.

Fans of WildStar who also have access to Korean beta tests will probably be quite happy to hear that Mondo Zax, Chua inventor extraordinaire, has been added to the lineup of NCsoft's metafictional mashup MOBA Master x Master. Those of you without access to Korean beta tests will probably have less excitement, but the game is entering its final...

It'd be a really weird day if Marvel Heroes weren't paying attention to the next big Marvel Cinematic Universe movie to come out, especially when said movie is the rather important Avengers sequel. Yes, there's a new mode on the way for the game in which players get to, well, fight Ultron - that seems fairly obvious - and there's another...

What is best in life? Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Stop mid-crush and realize that you're in a really pretty area. Enjoy the new panorama feature that will be coming to Age of Conan. Consider making a friend out of the enemies you were crushing. That sort of thing. The development team has been working on more...

In this augural episode of Massively Opinionated, Larry, Mike, Richie, and Tina debate the topic of what makes the MMORPG genre special in 2015.

Landmark's landmasses are getting a major facelift in the sandbox's last big wipe coming up next week. Not only are more biomes (underwater, volcanic, and deciduous) being introduced with their own unique flora, materials, and props, but the topography of the continents themselves is being overhauled to bring more variety to the landscape. Players who've always yearned for waterfront property...
