In our third installment of our weekly World of Warcraft Wisdom feature we discuss the fine art of the gank. It is a fact of World of Warcraft, that there are certain places on a PVP server which are not safe for either faction. We know going there alone presents a solid chance that several members from the opposing faction lay in wait to gank. We all know that Hillsbrad Foothills is one of the more difficult places to quest, not because the quests are difficult, but because high level players get bored and decide that it is just fun to go and torment leveling players....

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said he’d like to see more game releases that are not tied down to one specific platform, which will in turn allow for more cross-play opportunities. Chatting to Bloomberg, Spencer stated that platform exclusives are something we were all going to see “less and less of” in future, as he hopes for an industry that encourages people to feel safe and included “regardless of what device” they play on....

In case you missed it, Destiny 2: Forsaken will kick things off by bumping off Cayde-6, who is arguably the series’ best character to date. That’s not really saying much, as Destiny’s cast aren’t exactly the most nuanced of folk, but Nathan Fillion’s wise-cracking Hunter Vanguard was pretty popular. Unfortunately, developer Bungie has confirmed that Cayde-6 is definitely dead for good, and won’t see a miraculous resurrection. After all, his demise is the catalyst for Forsaken’s revenge-driven plot....

A ton of new characters were shown off in this trailer, giving us a glimpse of the new playable characters fans may shell out tons of money for....

Final Fantasy 14 is one of very few massively multiplayer online games in development for console systems. It would seem that a console with a strong online component would be a natural home for Final Fantasy 14 – a system like the Xbox 360 (which already features a version of the previous FF MMO, Final Fantasy 11). Not so, says Square Enix. Hiromichi Tanaka, creator and director of Final Fantasy 14, puts it this way:...

Microsoft has revealed a Halloween-themed content drop for Xbox Game Pass, and it’s called 2Spooky for Halloween. Yeah, it’s a bit of a rubbish title, and almost as offensive as 2 Fast 2 Furious.

First up is zombie romp Dead Island: Riptide Definitive Edition, which is basically a prettier version of the game you played back in 2013....
