Dungeon Master(Image credit: Future)For my column this week I was going to write about climbing all over monsters in Dragon Dogma 2's chilly Dark Arisen expansion, but then EA decided to finally murder BioWare after years of slowly poisoning it.

If you spent much time online this week, you likely noticed how it briefly felt like the end of days as government websites, game marketplaces, and furry image boards alike were pulled offline in a scramble to address newly-discovered security vulnerabilities in PHP—a scripting language used by roughly 70% of the world's websites, according to some estimates.It was a harrowing incident, revealing flaws in foundational internet infrastructure that might have...

I'm beginning to wonder whether Star Wars Galaxies Restoration can still be considered accurately named, given the community-driven revival project has gone so far beyond keeping SOE's 2003 MMO up and running. Previous updates have already added huge features like a new Jedi system and a galactic civil war. Now, the latest patch overhauls numerous aspects of the game, including a massive upgrade to its visuals.Star Wars Galaxies Restoration: A...

Our month-long RTS tournament is coming to an end. We started with a shortlist of 16 units, and now we're down to the final two—both of which were determined by your votes. This is what democracy is all about, folks! Determining what RTS unit has the right to call itself the greatest unit of all time. It's been an emotional journey. Dreams shattered. Friendships ruined.
