Walter Peck was right: that’s some shady shit! Man, Bungie. Now instead of a collective of the community being angry atDestiny‘s glitches and issues, you have pissed pretty much everyone off right before the launch of the expansion. It’s something that could have easily been avoided with better communication — a lesson a lot of other people in the online/MMO space have learned with experience. So what went wrong? A few days ago, Bungie doled out some patch notesregarding Exotic item changes....

Local play is great WatchingDiablo IIImorph before my very eyes has been a wild ride. Although I maxed out every class within a month of its release, I quickly noticed that my friends list was dwindling. Folks were completely turned off by the lack of an engaging endgame and the Real Money Auction House (RMAH) first and foremost, not to mention the slow-going pace compared to other aRPGs (action RPGs) at the time....

Directly to you Not to be undone by a string of Nintendo Directs and Nindie Showcases, Sony will host its own Direct-like “State of Play” stream on Monday, March 25. It’ll run at 5PM ET, and will “showcase upcoming PS4 and PS VR software, including new trailers, new game announcements and new gameplay footage.” Oh man!No Vita news?! Sony notes that this is a “new program,” so you can expect more to follow suit down the road....

Ultimate. While that isn’t immediately available, at least know you’ll be getting a little more than previously thought if you try outDragon Quest XIearly....

FFVI fans, commence your ‘hhhhhnnghhs’ A new video forFinal Fantasy XIV: A Realm Rebornhas emerged, and it features the iconic techno-suit straight from the Gestahlian Empire (Final Fantasy VI), the Magitek Armor. This feature was already known, but the new video in a nutshell features three players walking in a snowy area (mirroring FFVI’s intro), and it’s enough to get me pumped to try outA Realm Reborn. For those who aren’t aware,A Realm Rebornis a complete rework of the PC MMOFinal Fantasy XIV, which had a rather disappointing and buggy release....

If, like me, you’ve been itching to run amok in the streets of Gotham, now would be a good time to pay attention. This is your reminder that the open console beta forGotham City Impostorsis about to kick off and registrations are currently being accepted at thegame’s official website. I still can’t decide whose banner I want to run with. Normally, I’m all about the bat. But I don’t particularly want tobeBatman and it has to be kinda insulting to his work to have all these guys running around in his name....

At least play the opening sequence March is already half over (have you filed your taxes yet?), which meansmore free Xbox games. With an active Xbox Live Gold membership, you can now downloadBioShock Infinitefor freeon Xbox 360. Love it or hate it, there’s no denying the game’s heavenly opener. Every once in a while I’ll get the urge to see theascension to Columbiaagain on YouTube. “Halleluiah.” Rayman Legendsis the one and only free Xbox One title this month, but it’s so good I don’t even mind....

Card back for Zul’jin Normally I don’t bother coveringHearthstoneranked seasons, but I figured “what the hell” for this one since it has a card back I actually like. Earning rank 20 or above this month will net you a Darkspear back, which is in honor of theWarcrafttroll race. The original Zul’Aman inWorld of Warcraft‘sBurning Crusadeexpansion is easily one of my favorite locations in any Blizzard game, and being able to fight Zul’jin was an amazing moment....

Lord that Pikachu country western plush is adorable For the next several days, there is going to be one video game tournament at the center of the national conversation. The mass shooting at theMadden 19tournament in Jacksonville, Florida is nothing less than a tragedy, one that may have long-lasting consequences for this industry. And while the actions of the shooter represent the very worst of who we are as a society, I want to remind you all of another tournament that showcases the very best of who we are....
