Blizzard Job Posting Leads to Speculation of Overwatch Campaign
A couple of job postings on Blizzard’s website are calling for Lead Software Engineers, Engine and Tools, for “unannounced games/projects.” There is no information on what game it could be, but many, including Eurogamer, are speculating that it could be for an Overwatch campaign. The postings call for people who are experienced working with a “robust first-person engine for an unannounced project&...[Read More]
Team ICO Retrospective
Fumito Ueda may not be a name that is on the tip of the mainstream gaming public’s tongue compared to Shigeru Miyamoto or Hideo Kojima. However, his (soon to be three) games and role as the spearhead of Team ICO have not only carved out a sub-genre of their own, they have truly challenged the balance between video games being entertainment as well as art. To fully realize how unique these games ar...[Read More]
Never Played: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (PS3)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is one of those games I should have played years ago. Back in 2006, I played the original Marvel: Ultimate Alliance on my Xbox 360 to death. Literally. My original console fell victim to the dreaded Red Ring of Death and needed to be repaired. Unwilling to wait umpteen weeks while Microsoft applied Scotch tape to my console’s innards, I simply bought another one. That’s...[Read More]
Microsoft Claims to be October’s Best-Selling Console
Microsoft has been on a bit of a tear lately. For the last three months, data tracking site NPD has reported the Xbox One has topped the console sales charts. In a statement given to Destructoid, Microsoft is claiming that its streak is continuing for a fourth straight month. Without giving sales numbers, the Redmond, Washington company says the Xbox One was “October’s best-selling console.” The X...[Read More]
MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA Official Cinematic Trailer Released
EA has released a new trailer for BioWare’s MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA today. For fans of the series, there is enough here to intrigue. The game has a vague release of Spring 2017, and I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that’s too long a wait!
Akuma Being Added to Street Fighter V
Suddenly, all seems right with the world. During the Capcom Pro Tour North America finals at Red Bull Battle Grounds in Seattle, Washington this past weekend, a teaser video for Street Fighter V was run. The video, clocking in at a mere 24 seconds, fills my heart with joy. In it, a bleak scene of a dilapidated dojo during a storm almost immediately fades to black. Soon, a familiar gruff voice is h...[Read More]
BlizzCon 2016 Impressions
Every year, the High Priests of Blizzard gather their flock and descend upon Anaheim, California to profess their faith and devotion. They call it BlizzCon, and they bill it as some celebration of gaming. Obviously, it’s just a front ritualistic activity. I’ve seen the pictures. People dressed as demons and orcs and pandas. There’s even a Weird Al Yankovic sighting this year. It’s obviously pagan ...[Read More]
New Overwatch Animated Short formally introduces Sombra
For BlizzCon 2016, Blizzard played a new animated short that finally introduced Overwatch’s much-hyped hero, Sombra. The short interrupted a retrospective of Overwatch’s launch day, glitching out the video in true Sombra style. It follows the stealthy hacker on a mission alongside Widowmaker and Reaper. She looks exactly like she does in the most recent leaked image. Judging by her mov...[Read More]
10 Best Horror Games
With Halloween approaching, the gimmick of writing about scary things becomes prevalent. Well, far be it for me to buck the tradition. I mean, what am I gonna write about in October, Christmas games? I decided to go back to my past and chronicle the games that scared me the most. Believe it or not, that’s not a simple thing to do. The horror genre has many entries across numerous platforms, but mo...[Read More]
Twenty Years of Cutting Edge- How Resident Evil is Ready to Put the Fear Into VR
There are two types of horror games: visceral, disturbing psychological horror games; and B-movie horror games with cheesy dialogue, cheap jump scares, and increasing ludicrous plots of viruses, zombies and useless ‘special ops’ teams. The former, exemplified by Silent Hill (thanks in part to its developer and gradually worsening installments) and, more tragically, last year’s PT, migh...[Read More]
Titanfall 2 Will Have No Season Pass or “Hidden Costs”
There are a slew of big-name titles dropping for interested gamers. Many of them are intriguing, some not so much. Almost all, however, have one thing in common: Season Passes that promise “exciting” content at a later date for some money now. Titanfall 2, out tomorrow, will be one title that will not play that game. If you head on to Respawn Entertainment’s site and read their “10 Ways Titanfall ...[Read More]
