Some of you may remember LET IT DIE from its announcement trailer a few months back. It didn’t impress the few of you who commented, but the new free to play online ARPG from Grasshopper Manufacture and Gungho Online may be worth your time if you’ve got a PS4. Read on to find out why.

Pokemon is a series that Nintendo doesn’t often experiment with. I mean, sure there are spin off games, but rarely does the main series divert too far from the usual “beat the gym leaders, collect the pokemon” motif. That’s changed with Pokemon Sun and Moon, and it makes for the best games the series has ever seen.

Watch Dogs 2 is easily one of this year's best new games - improving in almost every way over its original. In this mission we track down the New Dawn (Scientology) to the Red Room re-education base...

Watch Dogs 2 is out today on PC, though it’s been out for a couple of weeks on consoles. While critics and players alike are lauding it as a far better game than its forbear, we thought we’d spend a little time today talking about the game’s multiplayer – a seamless online experience that an MMO gamer might find enticing.

Final Fantasy XV development originally began in 2006, under the name Final Fantasy XIII Versus. It was going to be a side-entry in the series, not a main installment because its tone was going to be a darker one than the main series allowed. Development was troubled though, and eventually the game shifted to the PS4 and Xbox One and became a full-on entry in the Final Fantasy main series. After all the waiting, is the tale of Noctis and Lunafreya a worthy entry to the Final Fantasy canon?

We’ve been playing Arkane Studios’ Dishonored 2, and today we offer our thoughts on the game in our Not So MMO review of the sequel. Does it continue the tradition of open exploration and stealth with a healthy dose of RPG progression and choice? We weight in past the break.

While we don't have any news going up today, we do have some articles for you today, namely - our thanks given to you and for gaming. Read on for Bill Murphy's thanks.

Rift’s latest expansion, Starfall Prophecy, is the first time I find myself having run with Trion’s flagship game since around the time of Storm Legion. That said, this expansion’s had its share of bumps and some design choices that seem a bit antiquated. Read on for our review in progress while we work towards a final scored review.

Today marks the launch of Guild Wars 2’s A Crack in the Ice, the most recent update to the Living World’s ongoing Season 3. Last week we got our chance to play through the new fractal being launched with the update, as well as taking a tour around the new zone: Bitterfrost Frontier.

Game Director for Rift, Chris Junior, recently took to the official Rift forums to announce some compensation initiatives for players currently being effected by the downtimes and crashing experienced with the 64-Bit client.

Starfall Prophecy is the 3rd major expansion to Trion Worlds' Rift. We've been playing it since it launched on Wednesday the 16th, and Managing Editor Bill Murphy streamed it for about 2 hours this week. This is that VOD!

Having an interview with Todd Coleman and Gordon Walton (co-founders of Artcraft Entertainment) about the recent IndieGoGo/Microventures funding news is a bit hard. You see, by the basic rules and laws put forth by the government, there’s not a whole lot they can discuss in detail about the investment setup. But they can talk about why IndieGoGo, and how things are going with Crowfall, so that’s just what we did…

Today marks the official launch of Rift’s third expansion – Starfall Prophecy. Bringing with it new zones set on a comet hurtling through space and time, new legendary abilities, a new level cap, the new Planar Fragments system, Active Upgrades new dungeons, a new raid, Planar Assault Adventures, Fortress Sieges, and more. We spoke to Trion’s Simon Ffinch and Chris Junior one final time about the expansion as they toured us around some of the new stuff.

In this video we showcase the final Rogue Campaign mission from World of Warcraft: Legion. As always, SPOILERS AHEAD!

Revelation Online is the brand new MMORPG in its first closed beta. Made by NetEase and being brought west by My.Com, it's still got a long way to go in terms of localization (a lot of the game is in Russian and Chinese both). But this video gives a good look at character creation, the opening story and tone, plus combat as a Swordmage.
