Rob’s back this week with a preview of the new Space Hulk first person shooter Deathwing. Not to be confused with the turn based electronic board game Space Hulk that came out in 2013 or the Space Hulk from EA back in 1993. It can be terribly confusing. Read on for more details.

It’s the end of the world year as we know it, and that means it’s time for us here at MMORPG.com to gather around and salute our picks for the best MMOs and RPGs of 2016, plus the ones we’re most anxious for in 2017. Read on for our Best of 2016 Awards!

With the recent news that Standing Stone Games will be taking over LOTRO and DDO we thought to look into some of the great ideas that came from these two MMOs. Daybreak is now publishing the titles as Turbine has spun them off into their own studio – Standing Stone Games.

I’ve always enjoyed walking – just to explore – and only took up mountaineering recently.

It’s that time of the year again. Where your pocket is hurting but you’ve hopefully put some joy in your heart and those of your friends and loved ones. Rob’s has some possible gift ideas for the gamer in your life so you don’t have to rattle your brain too hard on what to get them.

As one of the biggest game companies in the world it is always interesting to see what goes on at Blizzard Entertainment.

Some of the stories were really big, others, were huge and you may have missed them. Here is our break down of the top five events this year for Blizzard.
