In recent years, the field of games that could conceivably be referred to as MMOs has exploded. Naturally, there has to be a cutoff at some point, and we here at Massively use finely tuned metrics to determine what does and doesn’t qualify. (Our magic 8-ball is exceptionally tuned.) But just below that are games [...]

June 29th is just a few days away, and if you’re a Lord of the Rings Online player in Europe, that means it’s almost party time! The Summer Festival is returning to Middle-earth, bringing all of your old favorites such as Keg Racing and Taste of Hobbiton.
You’ve got plenty of time to participate in [...]

In every Metroid game, from the NES original through Metroid Prime, there’s been a certain weight to Samus. She can run faster than someone in a giant suit of armor should be able to, yes, and she can triangle jump to ridiculous heights, but Samus has always felt slow to start and build up speed, [...]

If you were to take the entire 3DS lineup announced at Nintendo’s E3 press conference last week, and roll all our anticipation for said titles into a single lump, it probably wouldn’t match the scope of our excitement for this faintly teased remake. A fan of Yoot Saito recently asked the idiosyncratic game developer on [...]

The Warhammer 40K MMO, Dark Millennium, may still be another two years away, but the trailer after the break gives us a small glimpse of the in-development title’s graphics and user interface. Of course, being two years away, almost all of that can (and likely will) change.

THQ touts that the “MMORPG community will never be [...]

Once again, Hulu is drawing some attention from a possible partnership with a video game console. According to a report by Bloomberg, Sony may be close to securing a deal to bring a Hulu subscription to the PlayStation Network. In fact, “the partnership could be announced as soon as next week.”
Weeks ago, Reuters ran a [...]

Work Warning: There’s some naughty language, references to sexual activity, and a bit of Wayne’s World-esque shenanigans.
There’s been machinima created as guild advertisements and event advertisements. There’s been machinima created as in-jokes for guilds, or nice little send-offs of a group’s raiding progress. The CBC Montage, however, is the first machinima episodic news [...]

Being a giant, beloved video game site has its downsides. For example, we sometimes neglect to give independent developers our coverage love (or loverage, if you will) as we get caught up in AAA, AAAA or the rare quintuple-A titles. To remedy that, we’re giving indies the chance to create their own loverage and sell [...]

It doesn’t matter if it’s a light-hearted RP event or a high-intensity progression run. As sure as the sun rises, if everyone is told the event is going to begin at 5 PM sharp, at least one player will not show up until 5:01. They might claim timezone difficulties, traffic, or even just that [...]

Jagex has announced plans for its next MMO, and you can expect a move from dungeons to space. Deep in Space will not only move Jagex into the sci-fi genre, but will hopefully attract a more mature audience as well.
Few details are known about Deep in Space at this point, but Jagex plans to reveal [...]

The recent open world action game Just Cause 2 just got a little more fun to play today. Developer Avalanche Studios has just announced that the team is adding a new and free vehicle in the game as an update via Steam. The Tut Tut Boom Boom (the one on the right) turns the fairly [...]

One of the most impressive things about Fable 3 isn’t the redesigned menu system (it’s a room!), the path from revolutionary to royalty (it’s like two games in one!), or even the “touch” mechanic (drag a hobo to his death!); instead, it’s the release window: this year. For those of you keeping track, that’s just [...]

Depicting the fictional world inside of a computer, it is one of the first examples of the “cyberpunk” genre that is so typified by Neuromancer. Now, with TRON: Legacy, the universe is being revisited, and naturally there is a videogame tie-in. TRON: Evolution looks to build an action-adventure game [...]

Happy Tuesday Morning, everyone! Rumor has it that Patch 3.3.5 may drop this morning, and with a 3 AM to 11 AM pacific downtime coming our way, the points are racking up in favor of such a conclusion. Either way, you’ll probably know by the time you read this, and either way, the downtime’s coming, [...]
