This week, Landmark was consumed in a fiery explosion, by which we of course mean that it had a big old wipe. But it's all right, because we also saw the new island shapes and they're pretty keen. You can also jump in on designing elf buildings, if you want to. What other strange events took place in the beta...

Looking for more of a challenge in Infinite Crisis? If so, you can queue up for some ranked matches since Turbine has enabled them this weekend. Actually, the promotion started yesterday and it runs though Monday, May 11th, so you've got plenty of time. You'll need to unlock at least 14 of the game's champions and complete at least 20...

This week's Elite: Dangerous newsletter covers quite a bit of ground. Firstly, the game's Mac client will launch on May 12th. Mac and PC players can play together seamlessly, and both groups will share the same galaxy and GalNet feed, Frontier says.

For starters, you can't shouldn't use mods in GTA Online, which is what I should stick to covering on this website as opposed to the decidedly single-player GTA V campaign. Oh, and then...

While the new Hammerknell instant adventure was originally slated for RIFT's 3.2 update, the team held it back for additional work and testing. The good news is that as of right now, Hammerknell is open for any and all who want to jump into the brand-new adventures that await in its ancient halls. Changing the subject, the RIFT community team...

There isn't anything built in Landmark right now to gaze upon, but that's not really the point today, is it?
