Marvel Heroes is cranking up the transmedia synergy by way of a new Daredevil promotion that fits nicely alongside the recently released Netflix television production. Gazillion is currently giving Daredevil players a 50 percent XP boost. Community manager Ryan Collins says that he's also "a bit sturdier" thanks to more powerful unique items and "some small tuning changes." Finally, the firm has...

CCP has published a quick post calling attention to its security and anti-cheat policies in EVE Online.

While the developers aren't yet prepared to reveal all of the mechanical details, there's plenty of information on how to get into the testing process and what happens...

I honestly hadn't expected to learn quite this much about Heavensward this soon. I don't know why I hadn't expected this, to be fair; we've got 67 days as of this writing before the expansion launches, so now is definitely the time to start learning all of these important details of Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion.
