Everyone has a fighting chance
A couple of weeks ago, we looked at some different types of endgame, including PvP as one of the principal activities available in an MMORPG once you hit the level cap.

There was a time when developer Red 5 Studios seemed destined for a fate similar to that of Flagship Studios. But problem child founder Mark Kern was ousted, Chinese company The9 invested 20 million dollars, and perhaps most telling… Chris Whiteside was brought on to lead the studio and future development of Firefall.

A new review aggregation site has launched today called OpenCritic.
