Built and crowdfunded by Spanish developer Infinite Thread Games, the game is based on Miguel de Cervantes’ classic novel Don Quixote, but in a cozy co-op tabletop style that is adorable at first glance. The devs pulled in […]

2026/03/08

It does seem that Santa’s work schedule is heavily skewed toward a single night of work and 364 days of downtime. I mean, that’s great if you can get it, but what do you do during the off season? Apparently, Oldirtbeard found out that Saint Nick prefers some World of Warcraft during the rest of […]

2026/03/08

Time was that if you wanted to play an MMORPG of any kind, you needed to pay the money for at least a month to do so. These days, of course, that’s less of an issue. If you want to just jump in for free, a lot of the time you can do that. But even […]

2026/03/07

Apparently there are enough people who are willing to give developer Donkey Crew a second chance to make a first early access impression. That’s one of the best explanations we can come up with for why Bellwright, the studio’s second swing at an openly developed game, has sold over one million copies on Steam. The studio […]

2026/03/07

One could argue that freaking a bunch of random strangers out might not be the best way to encourage them to play your new extraction shooter, but then the promotional video released by Marathon is likely more for the viewers than the marks of a prank that was set up. Either way, it’s actually pretty fun. The […]

2026/03/07

If you want to toss a contentious bone into the middle of know-it-all MMO fans, then casually ask, “Is WoW Classic a challenging game or not?” And whew, people are gonna be barking and clawing and biting each other with strong opinions on either side. With the risk of ruining my conclusion in the second […]

2026/03/07

Oh yeah, we’re going super irrelevant with today’s Daily Grind, but why not? When you’re sitting down for a good-sized gaming session, it’s absolutely imperative that you stay well-hydrated with a choice beverage or two. Myself, I’m usually sipping on some decaf (I’m the Most Boring Human Being) or a liter of water with a flavor […]

Back in 2002, one of Japan’s most enduring works about MMORPGs kicked off in the form of .hack//Sign, an anime depicting a series of events taking place in an MMORPG, and the .hack series of action RPGs for the PlayStation 2.

2026/03/06

If you’re an old-school Trove fan, you probably have fond memories of Shadow Tower. I sure do, anyway; it was fun and accessible group content that I often ran with my kids.
