May 18th, 2013 
Omali Ever since Reloaded Productions took over All Points Bulletin and relaunched it as APB: Reloaded, the team has been hard at work addressing reverences from the community, whether related to driving, threat systems, lag, and now the spawn system apparently.

Trion Hands Out Compensation For Defiance
April 12th, 2013 Omali It’s been a rough week for Defiance players, from server downtime to a treasure trove of patches being churned out on the consoles to fix stability problems.

Defiance Initial Impressions
April 11th, 2013 Omali Defiance is simultaneously one of the greatest and one of the worst MMO shooters I have ever played.
