Pokemon Sun and Moon is due out in November, but Pokemon fans that can’t wait that long have another option.

Indie Game Lookout for August 11, 2016
After voicing my desire to highlight great non-shooter games in Indie Game Lookout last week, I received a few suggestions. I thank everyone who sent me suggestions. There will be one shooter game here, though, because I couldn’t stay away forever. As always, if you know of any great indie titles, let me know via Twitter. Also, we have started an Indie Game Lookout group on Steam that highlights t...[Read More]

Indie Game Lookout for August 4, 2016
I’m beginning to feel a bit self-conscious when I craft my Indie Game Lookout.. This column is supposed to highlight great indie games of all stripes. However, I keep getting pulled in by all the awesome shooters I see. I can’t help it; I’m a sucker for the pew-pew. Yes, they have been great indie finds, but I want to shine a light on other genres. So for this edition of Indie Game Lookout, I am f...[Read More]
Overwatch Has a New Mode: Lucioball

Lucioball is a the current weekly brawl in the game. It is a 3v3 skirmish set in an arena that’s a ringer for a Rocket League pitch, and everyone is Lucio. The players race around the arena, attempting to bounce a huge soccer ball...[Read More]

The latest banwave targeted players who use a “triggerbot”, which automatically shoots for players when their cross-hairs are over an enemy. It also targeted users of “aimbots”, which improves...[Read More]
Never Tried: Rainbow Six: Siege
I am not an FPS fan. The few readers who have followed me thus far know this. I am also not a big online multiplayer participant, save for the few times I dare enter the Street Fighter IV ranked room, vodka in hand to cushion the pain of my defeat. (For the record, I am better than average in the SF IV matches I play when I try. I accede to trophy hunters; they are kindred souls!) So when Rainbow ...[Read More]
