Star Wars Game Rumor: Is 'Knights Of The Old Republic' Coming Back?
The award-winning Knights of the Old Republic games are, quite simply, the stuff legends are made of. The first game was released back in 2003, and was set thousands of years before the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy; it used this setting to give us armies of Jedi and Sith in conflict for the fate of the Galaxy, and Mandalorian armies that sweep across the Galaxy.

In Celebration of 'Marvel Avengers Alliance'
Today's the day. Fans of Playdom's popular Avengers Alliance game are in mourning. The game's days have come to an end; today, on September 30th, Avengers Alliance will finish forever. Players are reacting in anger and disappointment, particularly over the fact Playdom has refused to give any refunds. They have one last Special Op to complete, an event that will give them the game's final superhero (Adam Warlock) and wrap up the story they've been part of four four years. It's a sad twist in the game's tale, particularly shocking given Avengers Alliance 2 only came out earlier this year. It's likely as heart-breaking for developers as it is upsetting for players.

Best Racing Games of 2017
Aside from other video games such as fighting and shooting, racing games are pretty much up there on best types of video games. It's true — it's so much more different than any other because you're actually not killing someone! The thrill of driving a race car and managing to get first place while you're neck and neck with your opponents can really make anyone sit at the edge of the couch in nervousness and excitement. It actually gets your blood flowing.

Best Super Mario Bros. Games Ever Created. Top Story - October 2017.
It's not a stretch to say the Italian plumber, Super Mario, has influenced almost every adventure-style game that came after it. These massive video game worlds of today wouldn't exist without the iconic game's incredible influence — which dates back almost 40 years at this point.
