19.8.2024

The Olympics’ Shooting Category Keeps Producing Incredible Main Characters
2.8.2024
The Olympics seem unbelievably cool this year. Everywhere you look, there’s another great narrative being spun from the Games, such as Simone Biles and the U.S gymnastics team’s very funny beef with a former team member who tried (and failed) to talk shit about them before they took gold....
Marvel Rivals Feels Like Overwatch Without All The Baggage
1.8.2024
I have over 1000 hours in Overwatch, but only about a dozen hours in Marvel Rivals, the megalithic comic makers’ attempt to cash in on Blizzard’s once-winning formula. In all the matches I’ve played in the game’s beta as the Guardians of the Galaxy leader Star-Lord alongside other heroes...

Five Years Later, Fire Emblem: Three Houses’ Best Character Is Still Edelgard
26.7.2024
Amongst an impressive library of games like Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Metroid Dread, 2019’s Fire Emblem: Three Houses will still go down in my books as the best Nintendo Switch game ever made. It’s a grand fantasy story and an excellent tactical RPG that feels unmatched, even...

26.7.2024
Castle Crashers was one of the first breakout indie darlings on Xbox 360 to show players the console’s Live Arcade wasn’t just a backwater for low-effort shovelware. The Behemoth’s Flash-animation-inspired arcade brawler became an instant classic, and over a decade later its getting its biggest...

These Transformers Didn't Make The Cut For Blizzard's Overwatch 2 Crossover
12.7.2024
Overwatch 2 just launched its Transformers crossover skins as part of its midseason update. Even as someone who is pretty burnt out on Overwatch doing crossovers while its own lore and story are being left to die, I have to admit Blizzard’s artists killed it on this one. Reinhardt, Ramattra...

After weeks of teases, a comic, and an animated trailer, Overwatch 2’s Transformers crossover is live today, July 9. While all of the above has told us which of Blizzard’s heroes would be donning looks based on Hasbro’s robots in disguise, we hadn’t seen the skins in-game yet. Now Blizzard...
Overwatch 2 Heroes As Transformers Look Pretty Sick, Actually
8.7.2024
Overwatch 2’s latest collaboration gives four of its heroes skins based on Transformers.
