Dispatches From The Tower: Gear Progression and the Great Destiny Lie. .

PAX Prime: Dreadnought Hands-On . We’re all used to playing the lone Starfighter in a fight to save the galaxy against some unknown evil.

Anarchy Online: One of the Few From an Era Gone By . If you grew up or had a semblance of independent consciousness back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, then you must have played amazing, classic RPGs such as Baldur’s Gate, the earlier Fallout series, Deus Ex and, of course, one the biggest, Morrowind.

WoW Wednesday: 5 Things to Do While 6.2.2 is Current . I haz special graphic for this feature
It is time, my friends, to consider what is yet to be done.
I know the drill for a lot of people when Warcraft officially announces a new expansion: time to go do something else instead. It is almost the concession by certain players that the ga
Games Like: The Lord of the Rings Online . The Lord of the Rings has left a pretty stellar legacy in video games. Appearing on just about every platform, Tolkien’s masterpiece of fiction, compounded with the aesthetic vision of Peter Jackson, has given life to dozens of games surrounding the events concerning hobbits. But I wou
Hands-On With Battleborn . Battleborn is set to be the next generation, squad-based shooter from Gearbox, and this year at PAX Prime I got my hands on about 20 minutes of actual gameplay. Gearbox has had its hands in all kinds of games in the past, but none have really been considered more successful than Borderlands.
Tyrian Chronicle: Why I'll Play a Scrapper . This week Arenanet revealed the elite specialization for engineers in Heart of Thorns. It’s called the Scrapper”, and even at first glance I’m in love.

Blogger Bonanza: What does a MMO owe the player? . Murf’s Blaugust Challenge

Eorzean Evening Post: 7 Things to do While Waiting for Patch 3.1 . Last week, I wrote about the features and updates we can look forward to with Final Fantasy XIV’s upcoming patch 3.1: As Goes Light, So Goes Darkness. There’s a lot coming including a new 24-man raid, a new Gold Saucer mini-game and airship missions. However, based on what the dev team annou
Games Like: Team Fortress 2 . Few games have inspired as much devotion as Valve’s Team Fortress 2—which is funny considering how much more expansive it is now than it was at launch. Team Fortress 2 started out as a relatively fun class-based shooter, but once Valve reworked its in-game marketplace and started monet
WoW Wednesday: No News . Clear Skies Ahead
I’ve been doing this gig for eighteen weeks now, and I’ve finally reached the point where current news has failed me. Blizzard are using every trick they can, utilizing the family of playable games they possess to try and distract people from the fact that there

Age of Conan: Popularity Trouble . I’ll say it right off the bat so that there aren’t any doubts; Age of Conan, right now, is a great game. But beyond all reason, Age of Conan exists within that boundary of the MMO industry not too different to Schrödinger’s cat. In spite of Funcom’s efforts to improve the game (and tho
The 5 Most Visually Striking MMORPGs Currently Available . MMORPGs have never been about graphics—at least not in the way that most video games chase after the cutting edge. Instead, they’ve always been about the ability to transport us from our computer chairs into magical realities where we can interact and explore. But, that said, no one in
