The arrival of Overwatch 2 meant the slow destruction of my favourite mode
[ad_1] I played a lot of Overwatch 1. Many many hours over three accounts and when you look at my most recent account the majority of the time I’ve played M is in Arcade mode. And as much as I’d like to say to you that I spent time playing everything from Total Mayhem to…

Elden Ring’s environment is still my gaming highlight of 2022
[ad_1] As 2022 comes to a close, it’s natural that we all take a look back at the year behind us and think about the games we’ve played. This year, for me, was mostly taken up by some amazing narrative indies like The Case of the Golden Idol and Strange Horticulture. But really, a large…

2022 was Twitch’s most dramatic year yet
[ad_1] 2022, where did you go? It feels like only yesterday that Ninja was threatening to sue Pokimane right? Oh, sorry I mean January, it feels like only yesterday it was January. There has been an almighty amount of drama on Twitch this year, just as there was in 2021, so now is an appropriate…

I finished the Overwatch 2 battle pass and now I miss the loot boxes
[ad_1] Battle passes now go hand in hand with most multiplayer games. Pay a little money, get a lot of content, everyone wins theoretically. So with the arrival of Overwatch 2, I got stuck in and started earning its goodies. I got sprays, emotes, player icons, sprays again, skins, and voice lines, and yes even…

This point-and-click game is like a dark crime thriller version of Zootopia
[ad_1] Backbone, a 2021 adventure game, was one of the hardest games I’ve ever had to review. The concepts, the artwork, the music, the atmosphere were all right. Not just good—they felt correct. Those pieces of Backbone fit together so elegantly it felt like it was bound to be one of the best indie games…

Here we go again: I can’t wait until Overwatch 2 players learn there’s an objective
[ad_1] I cannot wait for the people who have just picked up Overwatch for the first time this week to get good. I’m a long-time Overwatch fan and have been playing all the way back since 2016. I’ve seen countless variations of metas, hero changes, map additions and more and, as I said in our…

Overwatch 2 tier lists are a mess, but most agree that one hero is coming out on top
[ad_1] Overwatch 2 has been online for a few days now and when they’ve not been queueing (opens in new tab), players have been pouring into the now free-to-play shooter. There is a certain amount of Overwatch 2 that hasn’t changed since Overwatch, like the core abilities of much of the main cast, so players…

Two Witcher spin-off games are on the way as well as the new trilogy
[ad_1] CD Projekt Red is a busy bunny indeed. The studio has presented a Marvel-esque roadmap for its future game releases, and there are a ton of them on the way. We now know that there is going to be a full Cyberpunk 2077 sequel (opens in new tab), a new trilogy of Witcher games…

Heroes never die, but games do: An Overwatch 1 obituary
[ad_1] Overwatch is gone. Today Blizzard pulled the plug on the servers of the original Overwatch to make way for Overwatch 2, and my goodness am I sad about it. This morning I threw on a t-shirt, only to realise it was merchandise from the 2019 Overwatch League finals—a fitting outfit for today’s farewell. I’ve…

[ad_1] Dream, one of the world’s best known Minecraft players, finally revealed his face to the internet yesterday. The content creator has been known online for many years as a wide smiling drawing of a face, attached to a body wearing a green hoodie, which of course raised many questions about his true identity.
