Get clued up on Rift's Storm Legion
Trion Worlds has released a bunch of new lore for their upcoming Rift expansion, "Storm Legion". Infinity Gates, God Engines, Blood Storms, it all sounds like nonsense to me. I suppose there are only so many things you can call a made up gate that allows people to traverse various worlds, and Stargate was already taken. Along with all the funny fantasy names there's some lovely art and screenshots as well. The expansion will launch later this year, and you can jump into the game now for free up to level 20 with Rift Lite. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

11:00 AM on 04.29.2013 Review: Dragon's Dogma: Dark ArisenI thought Jim was spot on with his review of the original Dragon's Dogma. It had grand ideas, but in many areas, it failed to execute them, and was marred by some fairly glaring design choices. With a full sequel, Capcom coul...
