The League of Legends community is in an uproar this week over a dispute regarding who owns the gameplay in a League of Legends match and who has the legal right to stream it.

Alternatively you could just use Vote-Match for a quick and dirty look at how your interests align with the hoard of potential politicians. CCP says that an even 100 players applied...

At first glance, Armored Warfare definitely looks like a World of Tanks clone. That's not by accident, either. A recent article highlights the genesis of the game from concept to the present; apparently, the designers were very consciously designing a direct competitor for World of Tanks right down to the vehicles featured.

It doesn't look like peace is coming any time soon to Order & Chaos Online. In fact, a fallen angel named Annemone has invaded the game with Update 23, and it's up to players to put an end to her cackling laugh. Update 23 came out last week for the mobile MMO and includes a new dungeon called Rising Flare:...

Earlier this month, Ubisoft confirmed that The Division is still on track for a 2015 release. Last spring,...

Blizzard is likely adding microtransactions to Diablo III. The proposed funny money and its associated features won't be coming to European or American versions of the game, at least for now. Blizzard announced its intentions on the Battle.net forums by calling attention to "new features that may start to show up in data-mined information for patch 2.2 that will not...

European PlayStation 4 players will soon have no reason to feel left out of the PlanetSide 2 fun, as Daybreak informed the community over the weekend that the console beta will soon include the region. "Rest assured that as soon as we launch in EU we will send out a huge batch of codes to our EU players," Executive Producer...
