One of my favorite aspects of World of Warcraft's soundtrack is its devotion to giving the in-game taverns catchy and cozy tunes. I always loved swinging into an inn between adventures just to soak up the ambience and take in the score that was more relaxing than any tankard of virtual ale. You can imagine how glad I was to...

Would you pay for a season pass to H1Z1's popular battle royale content? And if so, how much would you shell out for it? Daybreak President John Smedley was publicly musing about this idea on Twitter yesterday. "Seriously considering doing a season pass for BR. What would the right price be for a season pass?" he asked. In a follow-up...

It seems as though there is always room in Star Trek Online to add more ships, and the team is hard at work putting the finishing touches on a bundle of command battlecruisers that are coming to each of the factions. Lead Systems Designer Phil Zeleski penned a new dev diary yesterday to talk abut the creation and details behind...

There are lots of reasons why you might be looking forward to patch 6.1 in World of Warcraft. If you play a Blood Elf, you want your upgraded character models. If you like racing around, you want the new racing feature put into the game. If you have a joke Twitter account for your main character, you want that Twitter...
