In a city where the Ministry of Health had regularly informed hospitals not to permit any Christmas displays, shops were arrayed with snowmen and reindeer while high-end cafes like Bateel sold dates in star-shaped boxes decorated in red and green. Restaurants now offered Christmas dinners, while secular carols were heard in shopping malls, where all music hade once been banned. There were no nativity scenes in public squares and not everyone approved of these changes, but they were nevertheless a remarkable step towards religious tolerance....

BioWare surprised fans on their Facebook page yesterday by revealing an unexpected photo on their wall: the prototype image for a Mass Effect-themed Risk board game.

As alluded to, Black Desert Online’s western release delay is in part due to a reworking of gameplay towards a buy-to-play MMO.

The trailer quickly went viral, grabbing nearly 2 million views on YouTube and 10 million on the Chinese video site known as BillBill in just 24 hours while also becoming a massive headline story across the internet.
