Tribes: Ascend has just received an update, adding not only a new mode but a slew of new items and upgrades. CTF Blitz is the mode, which will move the flag to a different location each time it's captured. It will continually move to locations that make it more difficult to capture, so you'll constantly have to readjust your routes and defensive structures to thrive. It sounds like a great twist on the already-great CTF mode in Ascend.
What has me way more excited is the new Technician items. The technician is by far my most played class so I'm a little giddy about these additional options. There's a new primary, belt item, turret (!!), and skin, which you can see in action in the above video. I don't think the primary looks good enough to replace my Thumper, but I am going to be all about the new turret and belt item.
There's also new announcer voice packs, bug fixes, and more. You can read all the patch notes here.

It's a bit weird when games that are so widely played and enjoyed shed their beta tag and are "released." I mean, I've dumped almost 400 hours into Dota 2, and it's technically not "out" yet. Anywho, Valve has finally confirm...
A familiar site at every E3 for the past few years has been a giant tank sitting just outside West Hall of the LA Convention Center. Wargaming has been constantly promoting its free-to-play tank shooter World of Tanks, and th...
As we all know, freemium models tend to do more harm than good if they're not well designed. There's a very fine line between "wanting to monetize your game" and driving players away, and in the Canadian beta for Ultima Forev...
Nintendo is apparently gearing up to launch a free-to-play game this fiscal year (which ends March 2014), as announced at E3 during an analyst briefing. Evidently the game has been ruled out as a Mario or Pokemon game, and it...

Earlier today, it was reported that Killer Instinct for the Xbox One would be completely free-to-play, thus putting a rather large, nasty elephant in the room of an otherwise positive prospect. But it appears as if Doubl...
This is damn ridiculous. When does it all end, Microsoft? When does it all end?
I've just returned from a special Microsoft event where select members of the press could sample Xbox One titles before the E3 show floor opens. ...

Compliments of a GameTrailers TV reveal, Destiny of Spirits was unveiled exclusively for the PlayStation Vita today at E3. It will be developed by Q Entertainment, otherwise known as the esteemed developer of the Lumines and Rez series.
Not much is known right now about the game, other than the fact that it'll utilize free-to-play mechanics with "music and card battling" gameplay.
