Boldly Blazing a Trail in Space

Next February marks Star Trek Online's fifth anniversary. It's hard to believe it's been that long, especially given the fact that, on launch, STO was less than spectacularly received. Many games would have closed under the pressure but developer Cryptic Studios and publisher Perfect World Entertainment were determined to bring an authentic Star Trek experience to gamers. In other words, Cryptic and PWE did not give up.

Chinese WoW-Themed Amusement Park is a Reality

A few years ago, rumors and some pixelated images of an amusement park based on Blizzard's World of Warcraft surfaced during its construction. Fast forward to 2014.

The Community is Your DM in Upsilon Circuit

With most players opting to play solo at least some of the time, the rest of the player population becomes a series of props to some, PvP fodder to others, and to the rest, members of the guilds and groups they play with. At PAX, a game in development called Upsilon Circuit looks to do something different. Blending action RPG, a dash of MMO, and reality TV game show, along with a touch of audience participation, the greater community's role is emphasized even more.

5 Reasons to Play Destiny

With the release of Destiny on consoles last week, this may very well be the first time in history that a very "PC-esque" game has ever came directly to consoles exclusively first. It may not be a fully-fledged MMO, but it has many of the hallmarks of the genre and is definitely part of that conversation. What makes it so bizarre, is that the PC release is still several months at least away.

I know some will rage a bit because of my title for this piece, and I know things seem really rough right now for the Guild Wars 2 community. Trust me I'm right there with you. A few weeks ago I went over the idea of level gating. I'm not a fan of it, but still, the September Feature pack is live, and now that I've played it I see that it isn't all bad.
