| Infinite Crisis adds Cyborg to the mix Posted: 28 May 2013 10:00 AM PDT Filed under: Super-hero, Screenshots, Video, Classes, New Titles, News Items, Free-to-Play, MOBA, Infinite Crisis  While the last superhero to join the Infinite Crisis lineup was mystically imbued, the newest member is a mix of man and machine. Today Turbine announced the addition of Cyborg to the roster of champions as well as released new art for the Green Lantern. Like you'd expect a man with an energy cannon for an arm, Cyborg is a ranged fighter, doling out powerful blasts while dodging direct confrontation with melee. His various skills include Cybernetic Targeting, Cascade, and Plasma Cannon. Charged Burst is an AoE attack and Tracer Shot marks opponents and adds a debuff that can be triggered for additional effects by his other skills. Check out the reveal video after the break for some tips on fighting as -- and fighting against -- this newest champion. After the video, take a look at the newest Infinite Crisis art, showing off Arcane, Prime, and Atomic versions of Green Lantern.

| Massively's pre-E3 Elder Scrolls Online preview Posted: 28 May 2013 08:00 AM PDT Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Screenshots, Bugs, Game Mechanics, Interviews, Previews, PvE, Opinion, Hands-On, Events (Massively's Coverage), Crafting, The Elder Scrolls Online  Mystery and suspicion has surrounded the game so far; it's the MMO entry in a long series of single-player installments for a beloved IP, so players are anxious to see how the transition from single-player adventuring to massively online gaming will play out. Unfortunately, the build I saw used only a third-person perspective and excluded PvP, but I still got a solid look at the game. Continue reading Massively's pre-E3 Elder Scrolls Online preview

| Flameseeker Chronicles: Prepare for crazy Karka in Guild Wars 2 Posted: 28 May 2013 07:00 AM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Culture, Endgame, Opinion, Guild Wars 2, Flameseeker Chronicles  I hope you've all been enjoying your time in sunny Southsun Cove. We talked about it last week, so if you're a little lost as to what's going on, I'd suggest reading back a bit. Wooden Potatoes recently posted an excellent recap of what's changed and happened in Guild Wars 2 from launch to the present day. It's an good reflection, which will hopefully give us a good perspective as we look at where the game might be going. At almost precisely nine months of launched life, Guild Wars 2 is at something of a defining point. It looks as if the team is going to be moving to a more rapid cadence. That's not a guarantee, but as we're seeing more consistent releases, I'm prepared to get my hopes up a little bit. We're also seeing more sPvP and WvW features coming down the pipe; the last few updates set that in motion, and the preview for today's patch seems to be following up in support of those.

| The Daily Grind: What game should you like but don't? Posted: 28 May 2013 06:00 AM PDT Filed under: Culture, Opinion, The Daily Grind, Miscellaneous  And you don't like it. It's not just that you can see its flaws; you actively don't like the game and don't want to play it. Today, we aren't asking just about the games you don't like but about the games you should like and yet don't. The games that seem to be designed just for you, ones that you can recognize as good, but ones you still don't actually enjoy playing. So what game do you feel that you should like when you don't?  Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

In celebration, Riot Games also released a new cinematic trailer. Russian MOBA Prime World prepared for its upcoming second closed beta event, and Infinite Crisis expanded its roster with new champion Shazam. Upcoming sci-fi sandbox Elite: Dangerous showed off redesigned ships in its latest development newsletter, and it's not the only new game in development. This week we heard of upcoming military-themed browser MOBA Merc Elite and MOBA Dawngate, the latter of which aims to bring RTS elements back to the genre.

| Leaderboard: What kind of crafting do you prefer? Posted: 27 May 2013 02:00 PM PDT Filed under: Game Mechanics, MMO Industry, PvE, Opinion, Crafting, Leaderboard  This poll will be pretty simple, because, hey. It's Memorial Day and I'd rather not be working. So. Do you prefer complex MMO crafting systems where you're actively involved in the fabrication process or do you prefer simpler systems where you combine a couple of items with a button press (or even have an NPC do it for you)? For the special snowflakes who choose the "neither" option, tell us how you'd do crafting differently.  Ever wish that you could put to rest a long-standing MMO debate once and for all? Then welcome to the battle royal of Massively's Leaderboard, where two sides enter the pit o' judgment -- and only one leaves. Vote to make your opinion known, and see whether your choice tops the Leaderboard!Continue reading Leaderboard: What kind of crafting do you prefer?

Take a leap past the jump to see what's new in the Star Trek Online universe. Continue reading Captain's Log: STO's Legacy of Romulus launches
