Activision looks to be changing that perception – slightly – with the latest update, 15.1. The new update adds mod...[Read More]

Street Fighter V Update Drops Tons of Changes, Some Hilarious, Some Bad
Capcom’s recent update 1.06 for Street Fighter V has added a ton of changes to the game. While most were expected, at least one unexpected but welcome.
