Massively Overpowered

After staff defections and general developer drama earlier this year, there really wasn't much hope for the future of Greed Monger. Now there is no hope whatsoever, as the team has run out of funds and is unable to even get a smaller title out the door to backers. Programmer James Proctor delivered the bad news to the community: "With...

Cryptic has announced that Star Trek Online's latest featured episode is available to all captains engaged in the Iconian War. You'll join House Pegh and "take on a covert operation to strike at the Iconian forces" as well as "bring the force of the Klingon Empire to bear" against your enemies. Every week, the devs will feature a new reward related...

Echo of Soul is in open beta as of today, so if you want to jump in and play right this moment, you can. Assuming that you're at a computer that can run the game and such, of course; if you're reading this at work, you probably can't just download the game and play while working. That's not the...

Curious what's up with Guild Wars 2's promised plans to restore the game's personal story to full working order, complete with a soloable final mission? You and many, many other players, apparently.

You've already seen gameplay footage for four of Overwatch's fighters (Zenyatta, Mercy, McCree, and Hanzo) from Blizzard's upcoming team-based shooter. Now witness Tracer in action!

Check out her moves for yourself in the preview video...

Last winter I pre-ordered that Mercenary Edition pack for Elite: Dangerous through Frontier's online store. While I enjoyed playing the space sim at the time, I haven't played it much since then because a) other games and b) I've been waiting for the devs to make good on their promise to deliver Steam keys to people who have already purchased...

WildStar has taken a drubbing in its first year of operation, and much as I don't like saying so, it's deserved it. The game had some really terrible habits that I discussed back on Massively-that-was (which I don't want to link simply because, you know, that Frankengadget thing ain't us), and it has watched its market share decrease to...

For a writer on a multi-MMORPG news site, following pretty much every online game's Twitter feed comes with the territory. It's always interesting to me to see what "personalities" each feed develops over time, from the shy guy who posts only once a month to the toddler-esque accounts that repeat the same information every hour on the hour so that you can't...

When you're a minor god in Skyforge's world, you need to aim for big goals. One of the biggest that you and your friends can achieve in the game is to assault and conquer a Celestial Temple in Skyforge's Pantheon Wars system.
