Since graduating from Michigan State University with a degree in journalism, Daniel has covered interactive entertainment at a variety of outlets including Forbes.com. Growing up with Atari 2600 classics, Daniel fell in love with games during long sessions with the original Final Fantasy. As the years went by, Daniel’s interests shifted away from consoles and toward the PC, where multiplayer online and indie titles were prevalent. Since then, Daniel has gravitated toward MMORPGs, MOBA/ARTS, DCGs, strategy, and modern roguelikes. Daniel enjoys poker, West Highland White Terriers, and a good cat gif.

Guild Wars 2’s first-ever feature pack launches today, giving players access to a wealth of new options and some significant quality of life improvements.

has clearly spent significant time streamlining and improving systems
found in most RTS games.
