In the world of mobile games mediocre design, microtransactions, rip-offs, and cheap cash-ins flood the market and leave a certain stigma that often turns gamers away. The guys in Avenged Sevenfold and the folks at Subscience Studios sought to fight against that trend with the newly released Hail to the King: Deathbat
New classes, a new playable race, a level cap increase and airships? Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion has been announced, and it's pretty massive.

Hatred is a game about the wanton slaughter of people fueled by nothing but pure, well, hatred. Its trailer came out this week, and many people found it to be upsetting, even deplorable.

The all-new, all-female Thor is so new in the comic books that we still don't know who she actually is, but that hasn't stopped her from snagging a starring role in D3Publisher's ongoing Marvel Puzzle Quest.

If you're Australian, you'll know what a "bogan" is. If not, know they're a derided - but also strangely lovable - rung on the ladder that is Australian society. Think rednecks, only with universally high-pitched voices, and a condition that makes them end every sentence with the word "c**t".
When players modded the censors covering characters up in The Sims 4, they found that sims were pretty much Barbies underneath the clothes. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before someone took matters into their own hands and changed that. Warning: this post contains NSFW content.

Thanks to its notoriously treasure-filled tunnels, Destiny has sparked a new discussion around an important and often overlooked part of video games: loot. Let's not allow a popular shooter's moment in the spotlight pervert our sense of history, however. What video game, in your view, has the best loot?
