Torbjörn can have a huge impact in Overwatch when the stars align and he has room to set up properly, but he's often an all-or-nothing hero. Blizzard is looking to change that with a rework coming soon to the PTR. The developers want h...

Paid loot boxes are currently the crème de la crème of gaming monetization (along with gacha gambling), but thanks to recent legislative pushes, some publishers might be pivoting. A "we don't have loot boxes, look at us" ...

You're gonna have to kill all those damn pests again because they just won't stay away. They're like bed bugs or silverfish, except they're perfectly capable of destroying all of earth. How's that for stakes raising? The extermination start...

The Resident Evil 2 remake is wowing pretty much everyone who gets their hands on it, and this new TGS story trailer is a rather deep dive into the minds of our heroes. Before reminding us that the "zapping" system (wherein players wer...

It's about the one-year anniversary of the first time we learned about Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain. In those 12 months since its Tokyo Game Show 2017 reveal, D3 Publisher hasn't said much this EDF spin-off thing. Here's what we kno...

Based on a new rating, it's getting to be about time for that long-hinted-at PlayStation 4 port of PUBG. A listing showed up on South Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee website. While it might seem like the battle royale game ...

If you missed your chance to try Destiny 2's wonderful mishmash of PvP and PvE because you were hanging in Seattle for PAX or were otherwise indisposed, good news: Gambit is getting another trial. All Destiny 2 players will have access to G...

Rockstar hasn't had much to say about Red Dead Online yet, but given the way Grand Theft Auto V has continued to dominate with its ever-changing online component, it doesn't take much imagination to picture what shape Red Dead Redemption 2 ...

Nintendo is really cozying up to Fornite. I mean it's the kind of thing they probably wish they created first, but they did the next best thing: take part in an ad that partners with Microsoft to take down Sony. It's a weird time in the ong...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout is a battle royale that has been slightly more miniature than its competitors. Call of Duty's first crack at battle royale has hovered in the 80-some player range during beta testing. That's a lot, but i...

As much as I'm trying to stay away from Red Dead Redemption 2 until it's out, in my hands, and robbing me of sleep, I can't resist learning more about the setting. Exploration is at the heart of these games. In a new promotional push, Rocks...

I'm going to be honest with you guys: I can barely keep track of games occurring on one screen, these days. Any time I have to pay attention to what's going on at two different places, I'm pretty much destined for failure. Multiply that for...

Today is the final day to play Boss Key Productions ill-fated LawBreakers. In an effort to send the title off with a bang, the subreddit for LawBreakers will be hosting one last unofficial community play time. For the rest of today (Septemb...

Epic has been slowly trying to put the Switch version of Fortnite in line with the rest of its console brethren for weeks now, and the latest experiment is to patch out video capture support. Heralded at the launch of the game this fea...

For me, there's just no beating New Map Day in Overwatch. New heroes are nice and all, but it rapidly becomes a race to pick the fresh face first in Quick Play or an all-out mess of duplicate characters in Arcade (which admittedly has its o...

Virtual reality is one of those things that you kind of accept is going to be a slightly handcuffed experience. The nature of the beast dictates that what you gain in immersion and wow-factor you lose in control and full autonomy over movem...

There's a pair of new EDF games on the horizon, and while we've seen plenty of Earth Defense Force 5, the more mysterious of the two, Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain, has remained quiet. Ahead of Tokyo Game Show, D3 has confirmed a 2019 laun...

A mere four days before Treyarch and Activision christen Black Ops 4's Blackout mode with a private beta, we're finally treated to the first dedicated look at Call of Duty's take on battle royale. Details have trickled out in recent days -...

We recently learned that Firestorm, Battlefield V's take on battle royale, will pit 16 squads against each other on the series' "biggest" map to date. We know that a ring of fire slowly pushes players closer together. We also know that tank...

Destiny 2 has been taking us on a bumpy ride for over a year now, a journey I've talked about extensively in our review in progress for the newly-minted Forsaken expansion. So let's just jump right into it, shall we?

My favorite part of any battle royale is figuring out the locales when you're first getting started. You're still bright-eyed and hopeful about your odds because you simply don't know any better yet. "Military Base? Sounds interesting! I'll...

Bungie occasionally tucks away secrets in the Destiny series for folks to locate, and this is one of their least hidden Easter eggs yet. Immediately after unlocking the open world portion of the Destiny 2: Forsaken expansion (Tangled Shore)...

It's been several years since the Destiny franchise launched, and now Bungie is attempting something new with their proprietary Bungie account system. In short, all players can opt-in to a reward system of sorts, which kicks off with the Fo...

Just recently, for the second time in four years, I was at an impasse with Destiny. The first came in May 2015 after the raid-less House of Wolves expansion arrived. After maxing out all three classes day one and completing the Prison ...

Destiny 2 has a lot riding on today's Forsaken update. Many of its fans quit at various stages of its content rollouts, including the two micro-expansions, and this big drop is seeking to be the thing that keeps people hooked. In short it's...
