First Look At Four New Overwatch Skins

There’s a whole bunch of new stuff coming to Overwatch as part of the game’s first birthday celebrations, among them these four new skins. Via the official Chinese Facebook page for the game (and the Korean Twitter account), below you can see a new look for Bastion, Pharah, Soldier 76 and best of the bunch,…

Bring On The Persona 5 Figures

They just can not make Persona 5 figures fast enough. And while we wait for Makoto and Yusuke, here’s a Futaba (with bonus Morgana) from Phat Company. She’s not poseable, so you can’t sit her in a computer chair, but she does come with interchangable parts, meaning you can swap between a “jacket” look and…

Hands On With Destiny 2 On PC

If you were hoping for something dramatically different from Bungie’s much ballyhooed Destiny sequel, I regret to inform you that Destiny 2 is still Destiny. If you really like Destiny, of course, that’s not such terrible news. This morning I headed over to the Jet Center in Los Angeles to attend Bungie and Activision’s big…

Steam Users Love Ravenfield, Even Though It’s Pretty Glitchy

Ravenfield fascinates me. The Battlefield-inspired large-scale FPS just launched on Steam and rocketed to the top of the sales charts. Its reviews are over 90 percent positive. I’ve played it, however, and it’s barely functional in some places. Why is it getting a free pass from the Steam quality control mafia? I can see what…

Injustice 2 Bug Eats Player Progress, But You Can Get It Back

Blizzard Says Overwatch Wasn’t Meant To Be Political, But It’s Not That Simple

At yesterday’s New York Overwatch event, in a rented-out space in midtown Manhattan, Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan stood in front of a slide showcasing an old Egyptian woman, an autistic Indian woman, a bodybuilding Russian woman, a plump Chinese woman and a Mexican hacker woman. “One thing that we did with the game that…

Red Dead Redemption Is All About Failure

Red Dead Redemption released seven years ago today and remains a triumph. The tale of John Marston’s failure might be Rockstar’s finest story. SPOILERS AHEAD A spiritual sequel to 2004 shooter Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption traded curated levels for a vast open world. The wild west setting was distinct, full of warm sunlight…

Zombies Chronicles Makes Old Call of Duty More Horrifying Than Ever

I’ve been a fan of Treyarch’s Zombies modes ever since “Nacht der Untoten” graced Call of Duty: World at War. I’ve been dying to revisit the classic maps, but with my PS3 long out to pasture, I haven’t had the chance. Now, thanks to Zombies Chronicles, I can play the classics again in stunning new…

The Hottest New Twitch Streamer Is Role-Playing As A GTA Online Cop

If you visited the Twitch home page over the last week you probably saw the usual suspects: League of Legends, Hearthstone, Counter-Strike. In a twist, GTA Online has joined that list thanks to a former officer of the law, Eli Thompson. People love him so much, he’s already become one of Twitch’s hottest channels. On…

Destiny 2 Will Be 60FPS (Or More) On PC, Run Only On Battle.Net [UPDATE]

Destiny 2 is coming to PC, and as you may expect, this version will give you far more of those sweet, sweet frames than the PS4 and Xbox One versions. It’ll also run on Blizzard’s Battle.net rather than Steam or another PC distribution service, which is an interesting choice. UPDATE (4:46pm): The PC version will…

Smash Players Can’t Agree Whether Coaching Is Okay Or Not

The debate over coaching in competitions ebbs and flows like the tide. After a flurry of tweets from pros and personalities alike on the subject, it seems like the question of whether coaching should be allowed in competitive Super Smash Bros. For Wii U is being raised again. The inception point of all the debate…

A Platformer That Leapt Out Of A Sketchbook

2 is an experimental platformer by hubol that seeks to combine curiosity and platforming. Full of wild visuals, tense boss fights, and cute mini-games, it’s a playful experience that’s a perfect choice for this week’s Indie Pick. One of the things I appreciate most about 2 is the scope. There’s a genuine sense of adventure…
