Massively Overpowered

It's hard to really get a sense of how EVE: Valkyrie will play if you're not actually wearing one of the two VR headsets the game is being developed for. That's kind of its whole thing. But the game is on display at this year's E3, and that means there's new footage and screenshots for plans to delight to...

Hey guys! Did you hear about this Darkfall thing? If we all pool our allowances together, we could buy and run our very own MMO! Of course, even though you all chipped in for it, I'd still be the one calling the shots, which means that I'd make it a server-wide rule that all warriors would have to wear...

By now you are no doubt familiar with the guild halls arriving in Guild Wars 2's Heart of Thorns expansion. What you probably didn't expect is that the expansion is available for purchase as of tonight and is already stirring up controversy for its $49.99 standard rate that comes along with a copy of the base game whether you've already got it or...

I love seeing interaction and cooperative projects between MMO bloggers because what fun is there in being an island? Especially when we talk about massively multiplayer games!

Other patch additions include new heroes, though they're strictly cosmetic and don't affect Hearthstone's gameplay. Blizzard has also updated the game's collection manager, fixed a bunch of bugs,...

Ascent: The Space Game is holding its first major election. This isn't just any player election, mind you, but it's one that will determine the loftily titled President of the Galaxy. Developer Fluffy Kitten Studios says that the president will be "given a direct line to the development team" and will therefore be able to "influence the very foundation...

World of Tanks has already stormed the beachhead of Xbox 360, but it's aiming for even more significant gains with its Xbox One release when it launches on the platform next month. The tank arena game will debut on Xbox One on July 28th, although you won't need to wait that long to play it. Wargaming is planning for a...

World of Warcraft's 6.2 patch features a series of seven different weekend events, two of which will make timewalking dungeons available to characters at level 71 (for Outland dungeons) and 81 (Northrend dungeons). Timewalking scales your power and gear "down to a fraction of what they normally are," Blizzard says in its announcement post, so it's best to come prepared....

The "shooter MOBA" Gigantic is making strides toward launch, and one of the bigger steps that it will take will be in launching its closed beta test this August. Motiga announced that the beta will begin later this summer on both Windows 10 and Xbox One. The initial test will cover North America and Europe, although there are plans to...
