One Of The Most Popular Builds Of Diablo III Is Back

With the new items and gameplay changes of Diablo III’s superb 2.3 patch, one of the coolest builds of old times, the Archon, is back and got stronger for Season 4.

Star Fox Zero Has Been Delayed To 2016

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto has just publisheda statement on the company’s Facebook page saying that Star Fox Zero for the Wii U has been delayed. Bummer.

Interviewer Tricked Into Thinking Soccer Star Was Pro Counter-Strike Player

This is André Schürrle. He’s a very, very good footballer. A lot of people would recognise him as a star for both Wolfsburg and the World Champion German national team. This German web TV host, however, did not. Sofia Kats, from gaming channel Rocket Beans TV, was pranked by her colleagues into doing the interview,…

Konami’s Latest PC Port Is Garbage

Here’s a weird thing. The PC version of Metal Gear Solid V, a Konami game running on the Fox Engine, looks great! The PC version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, also a Konami game running on the Fox Engine, is the worst. On PS4 and Xbox One, the game looks fantastic! I’ve been playing it…

Star Wars KOTOR II Getting New, Player-Created Achievements

Against all odds, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, a decade-old game, keeps getting official updates.

Beating This Mario Maker Level Felt Like Defeating A Dark Souls Boss

Yep, this is a level in which the creator turned Mario’s glorious star into a player’s worst nightmare. It’s early days for Super Mario Maker, which means people are still figuring out what makes a Mario stage tick. It’ll take time before we see what people are truly capable of, but I’m already impressed by…

The Backlash Against Counter-Strike‘s New Bomb Defusal

The bomb. Counter-Strike matches revolve around it. Suddenly, it’s different, and that changes a lot of things. As part of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s latest big update, Valve added a bunch of new animations to the more-popular-than-several-million-high-school-jocks-assembled-into-one-mega-jock multiplayer shooter. Some just make the game look nicer (or worse, depending on who you talk to), but the…
