Massively Overpowered

For seven years now, it's been a tradition among the Lord of the Rings Online community to assemble at the summit of the iconic Weathertop and throw a player concert to end all player concerts. Well, that time is drawing nigh, and Weatherstock VII is coming on July 25th. Subtitled "A night of stars," Weatherstock VII is hosted by the...

Before you go see Jurassic World this summer, why not experience it yourself? The dino-hunting simulator, ARK: Survival Evolved, launches today on Steam early access. The team said that it will be hard at work addressing bugs, dealing with optimization issues, and quickly patching improvements into the game. The devs hope that this alpha release won't scare fans off: "Even...

Looking forward to playing Voxelnauts? So are lots of people on Steam, it appears; as the game approaches the halfway point in its Kickstarter campaign, it's successfully been greenlit. It's good news for everyone hoping to nab the game via that popular service and a good sign of the title's positive word of mouth thus far. There are 17 days...

So you've heard about MOBAs by now, right? Maybe you tried League of Legends, or the idea behind DOTA 2 was too confusing to inspire a download. Now there's this Heroes of the Storm thing coming out and you find yourself oddly excited (or being badgered by friends to get in game). Plus, it's Blizzard, and you can't pass up a...

DC-themed superhero MOBA Infinite Crisis is shutting down on August 14th, according to an announcement posted on the front page of Turbine's official site. After much deliberation, we regret to announce the official shutdown of Infinite Crisis. We will end development efforts today and will close the service on August 14, 2015. Between now and August 14th, the game will remain...

Summer comes yet again, and while the distinction is kind of arbitrary in deep space, for those of us pretending to be in deep space in Star Trek Online it's a good reason to head back to Risa for another summer event. This year's rewards have been previewed on the official site, and it's a mix of options for...

If you've been taking part in the battles over Ashran in World of Warcraft, it's understandable that you could be a little tired of the open PvP zone. That's why the zone is getting a bit of an overhaul in patch 6.2, starting with a mechanical change that removes Conquest Point rewards from killing faction bosses and events. Instead,...

When ArcheAge first announced that there would be some sort of server consolidation, players were understandably nervous. Merges can be a messy business at the best of times, but when you have a game with limited land and a huge amount of pressure to get that land, there's a very real fear that you might lose all of your...

You have probably noticed by now that ArenaNet likes to be a bit cryptic with its Guild Wars 2 teasers. Case in point: a Ventari teaser image posted on Twitter yesterday with a tiny bit of lore text. What does that mean? Who knows! Presumably the game's staff know; they're just not telling us yet. That's the definition of cryptic. Fan...

Is English not your first language? If not, thanks for struggling through and reading our site anyway, and you can also take heart in the fact that Crowfall's latest stretch goal has been unlocked.
