Massively Overpowered

Do you want a pet? Do you want to take on some contracts? Are you excited to play around with an expanded wardrobe? Is it time for a new raid? Literally all of these things are contained in the latest WildStar patch that's just hit the live servers. No, really, all of them; we have a tendency to list...

One of the very first RPGs that I played was Final Fantasy for the NES. I remember pouring over the manual at my friend's house and becoming fixated on the concept of how characters would transition from their starting class to an advanced one when they "grew up" in the game a bit. Classes that evolve or change into entirely...

Heroes of Newerth received a colossal patch this week to celebrate its fifth anniversary, introducing a new intelligence carry hero, a capture the flag game mode, dozens of events and countless balance changes and improvements. League of Legends revisited two of its oldest champions with a full redesign of Ashe in the works and the recent Ryze overhaul being...

Am I the only Star Wars fan who realizes that May 4th is a dumb day to celebrate the saga? I get it, someone thought it was a clever pun and the same people who greenlighted the prequels agreed. But guess what, it's not terribly clever and more importantly, nothing of Star Wars consequence happened on May 4th! Whew. Now that...

Mo decides to check out the "hide helmet" option all the kids are talking about lately.

The next elite specialization for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns may be out of the bag, as ArenaNet posted a new piece of concept art this morning that shows what appears to be a Guardian wielding a bow. The character also has a pair of bright wings sprouting from between his shoulderblades. We'll put in our official guess...

You can't accuse the makers of Empyrean Rule of thinking small.
