    Ubisoft Shuts Down Mighty Quest For Epic Loot Servers

    That game had some potential. When it first entered alpha, it was actually a fun diversion. Each subsequent patch made it worse, though. By its official release there wasn't anything fun left to it. I've seen that happen to a lot of games of this kind.

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Gets PC Patch that Fixes a Number of Issues and Crashes

    I couldn't get past the prologue mission without a crash at the end of a long unskippable cutscene. So, I got a Steam refund. I love the Deus Ex series. Maybe I'll buy it again on discount after it's been fixed.

    Cities: Skylines Natural Disasters Expansion Adds City-Destroying Fires, Meteors, and More

    Disasters were literally the most demanded feature for the game after it was released. How you can turn this around into a "fuck you" is beyond me. Perhaps you're just that kind of person.

    No Man's Sky PC Version Gets Last-Minute Delay

    Hello Games bought themselves another 3 days of relevance in popular media before the dull reality of the game hits the market and sweeps away everyone's interest in it. Yeah, okay, that was pretty harsh and cynical. They're probably just working on a day 1 patch for PC players.

    T-Mobile is Offering Customers Free Unlimited Pokemon Go Data Usage

    Haven't technically lost the battle on net neutrality, which is why companies are coming up with strategies like this to try to get consumers to give it up.

    The 2016 Steam Summer Sale Has Begun

    I'm kind of underwhelmed to be honest. I know the canned response is, "It's because you already own the games you want from previous Steam sales", but that doesn't really hold up because a lot of games have come out since then that I could be buying at a reduced price. It's not like I ever...

    Overwatch Now Has 10 Million Players

    The only game that Blizzard has really milked the life out of is World of Warcraft, and who can blame them? Nobody else has been able to get that level of success out of an MMO. The only real alternative today to that model is probably Final Fantasy XIV (and look at the number at the end of that...

    Overwatch Now Has 10 Million Players

    To expand on this: Overwatch is appealing to the TF2 crowd, but also a broader online multiplayer crowd. Like Heroes of the Storm or Hearthstone, it streamlines and polishes old systems for broader mass appeal. That's essentially what Blizzard does, and if you look at their current lineup...

    The Last Guardian is Apparently Going to Release in 2016 After All

    There's too much money to be made by releasing *anything* at this point and calling it The Last Guardian. It'll happen, we just might not like how it happens. I'm still hanging onto some hope...

    Tomorrow's Darkest Dungeon Update Adds Town Events, Completes Kickstarter Stretch Goals

    Time to reserve a room in the local brothel because this update is going to up the stress level of this game.

    Warcraft Movie Trailer Features Goldshire's Lion's Pride Inn

    Warcraft has always been bright. Even the most whimsical settings need something to generate conflict. The Warcraft games do have some dark themes, but it's all rather tongue in cheek. One minute you're watching Arthas kill his dad, the next you're clicking on him so many times he...

    Warcraft Movie Trailer Features Goldshire's Lion's Pride Inn

    Well, that's the problem. Warcraft is bright, cartoony, and campy. It might have some spooky ghosts and angry villains, but at it's core, it's a lighthearted romp through a whimsical fantasy world. Sure, you can make a movie with all the right names in it and fill it with the cast of Game...

    Warcraft Movie Trailer Features Goldshire's Lion's Pride Inn

    Eh, all the pieces are there, and that's neat, but it's all dark and edgy looking. The Lion's Pride Inn in the game is bright, cheerful, and whimsical. None of the little details really matter if you don't have the aesthetic down. If you want an updated Lion's Pride Inn, just play...

    After Two Years on Early Access, Starbound is Launching Soon

    Huh. That was my reaction. ...Huh. I mean, I bought the game a long time ago and played around with it a bunch. I guess I moved on. Maybe this is one of the major drawbacks to early access. I'm only mildly interested now. Don't get me wrong, I certainly wish them the best. It was a...

    Final Fantasy XI PS2 and Xbox 360 Servers Shutting Down Today

    Now it's the "ps3 limitations" response in FFXIV. A part of me is sad to see it go. I originally played it on the PS2. Oh the memories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WImXo0eptes
