Moze has a couple of more obvious build options if you take a cursory look at her skill tree, but what I want to focus on this week is a build with a fire-centric theme. This is Firestarter Moze.

Anthem got its first significant update in some time this week with game update 1.3. The update adds a number of new things and significantly improves some others, but it’s not the “miracle patch” fans may be hoping for.

Now that the game has been out for a couple of days, I’m not so sure. It’s a great looking game (even if the frame rate isn’t so hot). Team Ninja did an excellent job bringing an amazing roster to life. Unfortunately, I feel like the gameplay is a bit of a regression, even for its admittedly simple predecessors.

There are tons of fun power set combination options in City of Heroes, but some that stand out above the rest. These are a few fun combos for the Brute.

It’s a holiday weekend here in the States and while I’ll be busy partaking in typical holiday festivities, I’ve also got plans to set aside some time for gaming. This is what I’ll be playing. Share your own holiday weekend (or just weekend) gaming plans with us in the comments below!

Picking an Archetype in City of Heroes is one of the most important choices you’ll make in character creation and like everything else in the game there are tons of options. Even with all the options on offer, we all have our favorites. What are your top five Archetypes? These are my picks.

Last week, we wrapped up our Guide to Archetypes series with a guide focused on Villain Epic Archetypes. This week, we’ll be looking at the Sentinel, a custom Archetype added to City of Heroes on servers running “I25” code. I didn’t want to include this in the main series of AT guides due to the fact it’s not available on every server.

Another year, another E3. This time the show was a bit smaller than we’re used to, with companies like Sony opting to skip altogether. Thankfully, the folks at Nintendo, Square Enix and Microsoft impressed enough to make for a decent overall showing. These are my favorite developments of E3 2019.

Last week we covered the Kheldian Epic Archetypes added to City of Heroes in Issue 3. Today, we’ll be digging deep into Arachnos Soldiers, the Epic Archetypes added to City of Villains in Issue 12.

Last week we covered the five Archetypes added with City of Villains and today we’re continuing this guide series with a look at Kheldians, the Epic Archetypes added to City of Heroes in Issue 3.

Last week we covered the game’s original five Archetypes and today we’re continuing this guide series with a look at the Archetypes introduced with the expansion City of Villains in 2005.

Last week we offered up some handy tips to get started in City of Heroes, but another area that can often be confusing for new players is the game’s many Archetype choices. Archetypes in City of Heroes are similar in some ways to classes in other games, but due to the freedom CoH offers, it’s best to think of them as a sort of framework for what powers you’ll have available to you.

While many of you are returning to City of Heroes on certain private servers, I’m sure there are some of you out there who are playing the game for the first time. As a game that came out before World of Warcraft took over the genre, CoH does a ton of things differently and that can be overwhelming, so here’s a couple of tips to get you started out on the right foot.

You may have missed it among all the other awesome Star Wars announcements at this year’s Celebration, but BioWare did unveil Star Wars: The Old Republic’s next expansion at the event and they’re calling it Onslaught. It was a curiously low key announcement and there still isn’t a trailer to be found, but Onslaught is coming in September and I’m glad that we’re getting it. Let’s dig in.
