Massively Overpowered

Gazillion says that Marvel Heroes was the first online action RPG to featuring raiding, and it's following that up with a new one called AXIS. The raid pits you and your friends against the Red Onslaught, also known as the "terrible union of the Red Skull's evil will and Xavier's darkest creation." It takes place in Genosha, and it requires...

Hey, NGE fans! Crowfall's Gordon Walton says that the day that will live in Star Wars: Galaxies infamy was his idea. Now, that's oversimplifying things just a tad, but in any case Walton let fly with an interesting post on the Crowfall forums yesterday that gives a bit more insight into SOE's decision to blow up its Star Wars sandbox in late...

"There's new stock coming to the Crown Store," ZeniMax says. "A cartful of friendly (and maybe a tad mischievous) new pets" will arrive in Elder Scrolls Online's cash shop on April 9th, according to a new website update. Now, is it just me or does the word "stock" seem a little silly? It's not really stock since it doesn't take up any...

WildStar is getting a new Laser Phaser minigame, and it's currently on the sci-fantasy title's public test realm. It's currently scheduled to go live in Drop 5, and it includes a phaser weapon and an outfit as buffs, not to mention a temporary extra action bar. A Reddit user has posted footage of the game in action, which you watch...

Thanks to H1Z1's big patch, MassivelyOP's MJ can finally play someone with hair -- albeit still a male -- and she's going to take full advantage of the opportunity. Sadly, since there was also a wipe she can't show off the sweet truck she's been driving around in, but she can go on a hunt for another. Join us...

While my Kindle is loaded with so many new books I've yet to read that I really should take a few months off to plow through them all, I decided to devote a couple of weeks to re-reading a series: Lord of the Rings. I'd read them through in high school and recall being bored by the non-Frodo storyline...

It's hard to make a storyline that leads perfectly into an expansion. There's always more that could be done, the challenge of making something that feels like a conclusion while at the same time giving a logical reason to move on to a new set of conflicts and challenges. So while I have some conflicting feelings about the end...

We all whine and complain about MMO cash shop offerings, but you know what's one item that I'm always glad to see? A race change option. Oh yes, that makes my heart so happy. Why? Because there usually comes a point in my character's career when I start to envy another race or realize that I'm deeply disatisfied with how...

Camelot Unchained just released its latest newsletter, and you'll want to set aside some time and maybe a couple of beverages to read it. It's looong, and it covers everything from lore to the requisite state of the build update to various tidbits from the art department, the design team, and the tech guys. Oh, and there are some pretty...

Good news, ladies and gentlemen looking forward to Ghost in the Shell Online. Not only is the game nearing its first Korean closed beta test, we've received confirmation that the game will in fact be available for players in the Americas. No word yet on whether or not every shooting match will be followed by a lengthy metaphysical discussion...
