Hi-Rez has done several not so popular things over the past few months. These things have in so many words…cast doubt over the developers ability, or willingness to support their titles in the long run. After all, the developer only recently shut down all of their official forums and announced no future updates for Tribes: [...]

Sometimes in a game’s development cycle, hard decisions must be made and features can be cut. This can be due to several reasons, but generally the cuts boil down to a lack of funding, poor design or a combination of both. However, Firefall’s recent decision to shutdown all of its PvP content has thrown me [...]

Turbine has finally announced the release date for The Lord of The Rings Online: Helm’s Deep expansion. Set to go live on November 18th, the expansion will continue the MMO’s tradition of expanding the Epic Story. This time players will take front and center stage as they embark into the western plains of Rohan to [...]

Ubisoft’s latest self proclaimed “nex-gen” browser game sounds a bit like a trending political Twitter tag. Developed by Ubisoft Shanghai, Tom Clancy’s EndWar Online bills itself as a “tactical and strategic MMO that offers real time battles, HQ and army management, and massive community-based wars”. Keeping with the theme of recycling old series, EndWar was [...]

When it comes to heroes, The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot was admittedly lacking in the gender diversity department. The castle crasher currently gives players the option of beating enemies into a pulp as a young male knight, a medium aged archer, or a decrepit Wizard who may or may not be hiding something under [...]

When Gearbox granted the Homeworld IP to developer Blackbird Interactive they apparently did more than just update the titles name, they fundamentally altered how the game itself would be released.

Like a tidal wave, Riot Games has been known to swallow up new developers left and right. Hiring the best from around the globe, Riot has become a black hole for well known developers to gravitate to, even pulling in leads from other franchises. This past week Riot managed to snag what could possibly be [...]

The newest update for Marvel Heroes brings some of the biggest changes to date for the action RPG. Players now get to choose from three difficulty levels: Normal, Heroic, and Super Heroic, in order to truly prove their worth as superheroes. The new difficulty modes gradually unlock as players level up and provide increased experience [...]

It’s always amusing when developers add a major mechanic into the game’s name. It’s akin to an actor who shouts out the name of the movie in the least subtle way possible. So from the name of OGPlanet’s upcoming MMO, Heva Clonia Online would anyone like to guess what the game’s main draw is? If [...]

If you’ve ever watched an Anime with mechs, you’ll know the first version of a mech is never the best version. With each new release the mechs become stronger, faster and begin sprouting even more weaponry. In the case of Hawken, the first person mech shooter is about to undergo its largest innovation yet. The [...]

Introducing the Yuton race, Snails Game’s second race in their new steampunk MMO Black Gold Online. Visually the new race appears to inhabit a Hobbit-like town filled with wizard-elf-people. But looks deceive my dear, as we’ll take a deeper look into the new race of Black Gold Online. The Yutonians are as old as rocks; [...]

The online card-based RTS, developed and published by EA, has seen few updates to the game and website over the last 6 months, hinting at an impending shut-down. There are currently no reimbursements planned, with [...]
