There's no new character this week, but the latest Heroes of the Storm patch is one of the biggest updates of the year.  The main event is definitely the Mad Max-ian "Raiders of Warchrome" celebration, which brings new wasteland skins ...

If you haven't played Heroes of the Storm, find a friend that has and have them onboard you using the free client. I've been playing it since its alpha, and I've found it to be a refreshing, sometimes flawed truncated take on the MOBA genre...

Blizzard knows how to push skin events; they have it down to a science at this point. This latest one is worth taking a peek at too, as Blizzard is bringing the Mad Max flair into "Raiders of Warchrome." In addition to the existing Gar...

Although Blizzard has been undeniably changed by its association with Activision, there are glimmers of the old wild west community-centric company that frequently pop up. The Heroes of the Storm team (like Overwatch) has notably ackno...

Yes, the title itself is a misnomer. For one thing, Destiny 2 was never intended to be an esport. Or rather, the developers, Bungie, have never made a direct claim. At least, they never cited they would instantly turn it into a big one. For instance, in an interview last August...

(Update: And they're gone!) A closed beta for what could be the next big game on Switch is happening right now and we have some codes that will get you in on the action. Arena of Valor, the biggest mobile game in the world, is coming to Swi...

Arena of Valor probably isn't the first game you think of when asked to name a MOBA. It only launched in North America back in December and most attention we've paid to it has been with its addition of characters from the DC Universe t...

Raynor strutted his stuff right away in the alpha of Heroes of the Storm, but was completely left in the dust due to power creep over time. Although he saw a small resurgence due to a glitch that took Blizzard several weeks to fix (his ...

Blizzard is smartly diving into what makes the Heroes of the Storm universe tick -- or specifically, what differentiates it from the rest of the Blizzard universe. It might be an "all-stars" rendition of Blizzard's properties, a greatest hi...

The mega-popular mobile MOBA Arena of Valor is inching closer to a Nintendo Switch release and if you missed signing up for the closed beta, there's still time to do so. Tencent has locked in dates for the first North American beta -- it'll...

Heroes of the Storm doesn't have the numbers that other MOBAs do streaming-wise, but this past week proves that it absolutely deserves to hang. Culminating in a nail-biting Finals series between the Korean team Gen G. and the European Team ...

Back in July of 2016, a fan created an incredible concept for a skin in Heroes of the Storm -- Janitor Leoric. Based on the Diablo villain's moveset from the game, and subbing in mop for a mace and a bathroom for a makeshift crypt...

Although I'm a horde member at heart (my first World of Warcraft character was an Orc Warlock during the beta, and my first 1.0 and subsequent main until Burning Crusade was an Orc Shaman), I gravitated toward the Alliance at the behest of ...

Remember clicking on Starcraft and Warcraft RTS units over and over to get them to say funny things? Blizzard never really stopped doing that. Heroes of the Storm just introduced its Warcraft event this week (which ...

For the past several years fans have been clamoring for a Draenei character in Heroes of the Storm. To date it's one of the only major races from any of the represented games that hasn't been part of the Nexus universe -- that's finall...

Tencent's Honor of Kings, known stateside as Arena of Valor, is arguably the biggest video game in the world. Last year, it grossed $1.9 billion according to SuperData Research. It has an estimated 200 million monthly users. It has Batman. ...

Ever wonder how animal voices are grafted into video games and other forms of media? Sometimes it's a real animal doing all the legwork. Sometimes, you get Alan Tudyk to do chicken noises. With Heroes of the Storm though, Blizzard opted to ...

Xbox is trying something new with next month's Games with Gold offerings. Through the five years the program has been in place, Games with Gold has given four free games per month to anyone who pays for an Xbox Live Gold membership. In June...

There's very few things that are more entertaining than top-level DOTA 2 play, and this match between Fnatic and Evil Geniuses is no exception. While the latter was looking to push into the former's base, one player decided to take matters ...

In case you don't play MOBAs (or another competitive genre), new characters are usually all the rage, but often times a team will look back at older roster members and tighten them up a bit to keep inline with the inherent power creep that ...

I've been casually playing the arena brawler Battlerite since late last year, and it's been a pretty great quick alternative to other longer MOBAs while still retaining that MOBA-like feel. A basic arena mode is pretty much all I'd want out...

Blizzard is trying something new with Heroes of the Storm. The game has a few years under its belt and much of the lore as it pertains to its combatants is established, bu the time has come to start to explore more of the Nexus -- one of th...

For what feels like decades Diablo fans have wanted a playable Deckard Cain. The old loremaster was an immediate favorite after his debut in Diablo, and his involvement in future iterations on top of his classic rap only helped fuel th...

Deckard Cain is such a fun addition to the Heroes of the Storm roster. As Chris mentioned before, he really does seem like something you'd expect as an April Fools' joke, but Blizzard made it work. The iconic Diablo character has joined the...

For months folks have been saying that Deckard Cain should make his way into Heroes of the Storm. I even joked about it with a senior developer once upon a time, who noted that while he would be difficult to implement, he could work. W...

We're about to hit the 20th anniversary of StarCraft, which in most circles, is a big deal. StarCraft is coming back in a big way, with a full-on remaster on top of a bigger push for StarCraft II, as well as a Blizzard initiative to just gi...
