Last week Epic Games was ready and rarin' to unleash "Playground mode" out into the world in Fortnite, which not only brought private matches into the fray but a chill way to explore and build. It dropped in update 4.5, but was promptly pul...

I'm all set for Blazing Chrome, the tight new run-and-gun from JoyMasher. I don't need to see any more footage to know it's my kinda game. But do I want to see more? Absolutely. Today's video offers a glimpse of the second level which invol...

Some of my favorite Overwatch plays usually involve Tracer, many of which have come from Nenne of XL2 Academy (the academy team of New York Excelsior). There's at least one of those in this "top 10" video roundup from the Overwatch Lea...
