The last time the retailer yanked boxes of a game from the shelves and returned them to the distributors, it was The Elder Scrolls Online, shortly before that title announced its buy-to-play conversion. Now the same thing is happening, only this time it's boxes of WildStar. As go Australian EB Games outlets, so goes the rest of the world....

I am a horrible, horrible chess player. It's not that I don't understand the game or have the mind for basic strategies but that I simply cannot plan ahead and anticipate future moves the way that you need to in order to master the game. Sometimes I feel as though this "play in the moment" attitude saturates my MMO gaming...

Sometimes the best soundtracks are hiding where you least expect them. Though perhaps I shouldn't be that surprised that The Crew has an impressive score. Racing games have always accented their non-stop driving with terrific OSTs, from Road Rash in the '90s to the Wipeout franchise (heck, even Mario Kart!). But I suppose my disinterest in The Crew in general...

Forget what you think you know of Gloria Victis' looks, as the devs announced that they've switched up the game engine to Unity 5. This will improve not only the visuals (including the new trees as featured in the picture above) but client performance as well. "What does it mean for you?" the team posted. "FPS growth, better movement fluency,...

Trion has added Alcatraz to Defiance, along with a new EGO rating cap of 6,000 and several other key features. Chief among these are expeditions, which the devs describe as "evolving co-op matches that pit you against increasingly tough enemies for ever-increasing rewards." Alcatraz serves as a sort of base between rounds of each expedition, as your team will be...

Justin, Bree, and guests Ben and Tyler discuss WoW tokens, DCUO, Neverwinter's Minsc & Boo patch, Guild Wars 2, Elder Scrolls Online, Wurm Online, and WildStar.

For all the many times MassivelOP's MJ has done Heritage Quests in EverQuest II on various alts, it somehow escaped her that the increases in level caps introduced even more such quests at the higher levels!
