Massively Overpowered

Fans of Dizzel are going to be sad to hear that the game is shutting down in April, but it might be reassuring to know that it wasn't for lack of fans or profits. No, according to the official announcement, the explanation is far simpler: the Korean studio that developed the game shut down, and the publisher couldn't support...

After October, February seems perfect to tap into the dark, terrible nightmares of gaming. Why? Because you just know some elder god ate those extra days at the end of the month. In any case, you'll soon be able to get your H.P. Lovecraft on with Revival, an open-world sandbox that channels the late great horror writer's spirit. Revival is...

While Pathfinder Online has been playable for many of its backers for a few months now, it's still only in an early deployment phase.

That's going to be changing soon, however, and a recent development post outlines the road to fully...

It's been said that The Secret World is more like a single-player game. And it's true: You can definitely enjoy many aspects of the game solo or with just a friend or two.

Today the studio announced that it is adding two more loyalty rewards for those who have kept a sub up for a while. The first reward is a delightfully creepy Mask of Cheerful Slaughter...

Are you enjoying flying through space in Elite: Dangerous but not how the game's news cycle has quieted down? Let's change that. A trademark has been registered for Elite: Deadly covering computer games, online interactive games, and more or less anything that would qualify as more Elite on either your home computer or console. Or even your tablet, possibly. The trademark owner...

Friends, it pains me to say this, especially when dinosaurs are involved, but it might be time to give up hope on The Stomping Land. After far overshooting Kickstarter goals for his dinosaur survival sandbox, The Stomping Land creator Alex Fundora has seemingly abandoned the project. Freelance artist Vlad Konstantinov, who had been hired work on the project, said that he...

As I write this, I'm almost finished with the second season of Guild Wars 2's vaunted living story. Without any specific spoilers, I have to say that the season was a step up from the first, with a tighter delivery of narrative and the ability to replay episodes at one's leisure. However, I never felt truly drawn into what...

If you've ever grumped that MMOs don't feel so "massively" these days, then here's something that might put a smile on your face before it gets eaten right off: a game where players control hordes of survivors and zombies duking it out via tower defense in a cute post-apocalyptic setting.
