On Wednesday, June 3, RPG fans were treated to their first official look at Fallout 4. There’s no feature list, in-game footage, or release date, but pre-orders are already open. Is pre-ordering now really a good idea?

MMOs aren’t what they used to be in both good ways and bad. This week in Player Versus Player, we look at MMO storytelling and how every player is the hero. We call it, "The God Complex" and ask, are we losing the core of MMORPGs because of it?

I think I have always been a happy MMO fan. I have even been accused of being sappy or of wearing rose-colored glasses when covering MMOs because I tend to, well, enjoy them. I will give it to those who make such a suggestion: playing an MMO primarily through its systems (meaning grinding) is one way to find happiness, but I didn’t think that my distaste for the grind should disqualify my particular joy.

Two-man development team, Ironbit, has sent word that the latest update has been applied to Colonies Online, its MMO set in the far space-faring future. Most notably, weapon and armor crafting has been added.

What if there were a Fallout MMO and what if the developers actually made it the kind of game it has the potential to become?

Webzen has announced that the next expansion to Age of Wulin (EU) will be arriving in July 2015. Called "Blood & Flowers", players can expect to find Lingxiao City, a new battleground, a new competition, a new feature in the Partner System and the Island of Delight.

New Heroes are on the way to Hearthstone and the announcement has upset a lot of players. We take a look at what’s on the way and why I think we all need to relax.

Gambrinous and Versus Evil have announced the release date for their upcoming RPG Guild of Dungeoneering.
