Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning earned decent reviews and sold over 1 million copies at the time of its release, but it may be best known for being publicly criticized by Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee and the lawsuit that emerged from its notoriously rocky development.

This Lord of the Rings article contains spoilers for The Rings of Power. When a fantasy writer sits down to create an imaginary world (or in J.R.R. Tolkien’s case, technically an imaginary ancient past of our own world), they tend to draw on all sorts of influences from reality.

Martin’s Westeros, for example, famously combines various elements of European history and cultures....

Lost Ark‘s massive April update is finally here, which means that millions of the MMOARPG’s players are looking for advice on how to build the game’s latest advanced class, Glaiviers. Anyone familiar with Lost Ark‘s other Martial Artist classes will probably be vaguely familiar with Glaiviers’ basic design.
