Soulworker – Gamescom 2017 Hands On Preview

Soulworker is an online action MMORPG created by Lion Games in South Korea and coming to western shores, as a Free to Play PC game, before the end of 2017. It blends a kinetic action combat system, MMORPG elements, and some striking aesthetics into a package that stood out form the crowd when I faced the void at Gamescom 2017.

Overwatch – Roadhog Takes Center Stage in ‘Wasted Land’ Comic

Largely (literally…) silent, Roadhog is a formidable Overwatch tank. Little has been known about him other than his friendship with Junkrat, another denizen of the lands Down Under. However, we’ll know much more about the strong silent partner in this friendship after reading today’s latest comic called “Wasted Land”.

– Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor Martyr Hands On Preview

When I caught word that NeocoreGames, the developer behind The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, was taking their ARPG talents to the Warhammer 40,000 Universe I have to admit I was intrigued.

It’s making the wait for the PC (and in my opinion better) version feel that much longer.

Ashes of Creation – PAX West Preview – Multiplayer is the Key

Backers of Ashes of Creation look like they don’t have to worry about being overly patient.

But I don’t think anyone would have expected them to accomplish what they did in such a short time.

World of Warcraft – No Flying on Argus Reignites Years’ Old Kerfuffle

When players landed on Argus in World of Warcraft last week, they were met by the now-familiar prohibition against flying. Blizzard has been very outspoken about new zones being “no fly” for at least the first several weeks or months, usually requiring players to gain reputation with zone factions and / or complete various objectives to ‘earn’ the right to fly. Many, in fact, had just completed the tasks to unlock flying on the Broken Isles, only to get to Argus and be grounded again.
