Massively Overpowered

It does seem as though any popular superhero will inevitably drum up a bunch of me-too imitators, from Batgirl to Wonder Dude (who totally doesn't exist but should). So if you have a penchant for the Spider-Man family but would like a female version to tag along with you, then Marvel Heroes has a new Arachne team-up available for...

It's been quite a week! And not just for Massively Overpowered. Right as our original site was sunsetting, SOE announced that it was bought out and would be doing business under the new moniker Daybreak Games Company. Talk about shaking things up! Breaking free of Sony and going under the umbrella of an investment firm is just a wee...

Just because the world is being taken over by secret cabals and an unstoppable wave of filth from the outer darkness doesn't mean that there's no time for love!

Star Citizen chairman Chris Roberts has posted a blurb outlining a new system called Rental Equipment Credits that is coming to Arena Commander's 1.1 patch.

More assurances are coming your way from Daybreak Games, this time from reps of each of the studio's games. "Absolutely nothing" has changed, according to a Greg "SOELegion" Henninger post on the H1Z1 forums. "We're properly staffed to move forward with our current development strategy. We'll continue to be a transparent development team and we'll continue on our promise and...

What MMOs are you lovely readers playing this weekend? We'll show you our WRUPs if...

You know, folks, I am all about getting my dungeon ride on in Final Fantasy XIV. I'm a roleplayer, to boot. I like being social in my games. And yet when I find myself playing World of Warcraft, I find myself actively preferring a bit of solitude far more often than I'd expect. This isn't meant as a commentary on...

As of today, we've been running the Massively Overpowered Kickstarter campaign for just one week. We can't believe the outpouring of support you've given us already; it propelled us to move even faster and get the site up much sooner than we originally anticipated. Thank you all so very much. Just three weeks to go! Here's how the week unfolded: Friday, February...

How many times have you dusted off an old game you used to love to play online, only to find that the official servers have long since been shut down? It's an unfortunate fact that unprofitable online games frequently get the axe, often leaving it to the games' communities to try to put together an unofficial server. Dozens of...

Did you patch up your Star Wars: The Old Republic install yesterday? If not, you'd better hop to it because the 3.1 update added a couple of level 60 hardmode flashpoints and kicked off the fourth season of competitive PvP. Not only that, but there's a double XP weekend happening from February 13th through the 17th. Wait, today's the 13th...
