Heroes Of The Storm’s Next Character Is The Crusader From Diablo III
Her name is Johanna and she has a very big shield that she hits people with. Way to remain in character, Johanna! Blizzard hasn’t been doing a very good job of keeping Johanna a secret—details have been leaking out about her for weeks now. And by “details,” I mean the fact that she’s named Johanna,…

First Person Shooters Get A LEGO Overhaul
With all those Thomas the Tank Engine mods for popular games, it’s weird no one really went into LEGO territory yet. Andrewmfilms fills the gap with his awesomely animated clip featuring Portal 2, Counter-Strike, and Bioshock with minifigures Skyrim’s there, too. Not an FPS, of course, but when it comes to modding, it has to…

A Game That’s Become A Political Battleground
Agar.io is a fun, free multiplayer game you can play right now. It’s also become a political battlefield. In the game, you play as a tiny, colored cell gunning to eat smaller cells and avoid being slurped into someone else’s gelatinous cellmass—gradually, agonizing bit by agonizing bit—yourself. It’s extremely simple but weirdly compelling, especially once…

The World Is Over. Have A Cute Robot.
Oh look, another bleak indie survivial game for the PC. Only this one has…isometric visuals? And a helper robot? And a soundtrack by the wonderful Mitch Murder? OK, Impact Winter, I’m very interested. There’s a lot to like about this clip, which introduces us to some of the game’s basics. The way damage to a…

The Horrors Of The NBA, Unleashed
It’s funny the first three times you see it, but then you start to wonder, what sound is he making, if he’s making any sound at all? Is it a shrill, bird-like shriek? Or is he singing a song to summon the great spirits of the void, who will emerge from the depths and consume…

World Of Warcraft Players Are Pissed Their Characters Can’t Fly

It was me, my colleague Jason Schreier, and Mashable’s Adam Rosenberg. The three of us regularly play together. We were taking on the Prison on level 32, which is a…

A Mad Max Car Chase, Recreated In GTA V
The ingenuity of Grand Theft Auto players always delivers. Though GTA V doesn’t have a very good selection of post-apocalyptic gear, it does have a ton of cars and a nice film editor. Equipped with this, TheSlothsDen manages to capture the spirit of a high octane Mad Max car chase pretty well in GTA. Instead…

The Witcher 3 Is Even Bigger Than You Think
The Witcher 3 is a really big game. This is known. Still, I’m not sure everyone grasps just how massive it is. I sure didn’t. I’ve already “finished” the game; I played through to the conclusion for my review. But as I said at the time, I had to blow past a bunch of sidequests…
