Build your own death fortress in sci-fi MMO WildStar
Carbine Studios' upcoming MMO WildStar hasn't shown enough for me to full opinion yet, but we're starting to get there. This new trailer, while excited beyond belief, does offer a great little overview of what the game is all about. Building a Warplot with friends sounds like it could be neat depending on how extensive the system actually is. Who doesn't want to construct a fortress with huge guns? Should you be interested, there are beta sign-ups for WildStar and the title will also be playable this week at PAX East. Did you know?
