With many AAA games featuring some kind of microtransactions these days, it should come as little surprise that The Coalition's latest entry to the Gears of War series, Gears of War 4, has its fair…

Continuing our series on Fallout's realism (or lack thereof), today we'll be covering radiation and mutations, because who doesn't love that? For info on the real-world version of things like Vaults…

The original Silent Hill is a dead canary. The coal mine it was sent down was the objective of its development team to create a survival horror game in the vein of Resident Evil, but with a more…

The obvious answer is "oh, come on, REALLY?" But weirdly enough, while the Fallout franchise takes quite a number of liberties with reality, it has borrowed from real life as often as not. I was hit…

One of the biggest characteristics of video games that set it apart from every other form of entertainment and art is its propensity for high immersion. Immersion is something all entertainers yearn…

Overwatch has been riding a wave of success since its release 100 days ago (105 if you want to be that guy). While Overwatch racks up victory after victory on its way to a 15+ million playerbase, …

Its pretty clear that No Man's Sky might be the most divisive game to have been released in quite some time. While it would have been easy to talk about what I personally don't like about the game…

It should come as no surprise that supporting roles or characters in games tend to be the least popular. You could probably attribute this to the fact that they are generally intended to be the most…

A somewhat new trend in modern gaming is the practice of offering free DLC. After all, it has only been a decade since people were protesting (or rather, mocking) Oblivion's Horse Armor DLC for being…

From Halo to Battlefield to Overwatch to Call of Duty, most multiplayer games have some kind of stat tracking feature. It could be as simple as a kill counter, or perhaps even something that just…

It's time to cover Overwatch's flagship hero, Tracer. Tracer is an incredibly unique offensive hero, with her ability to warp herself forward or rewind her own time backwards. Being the hero that…

Prior to Overwatch's release, it was made abundantly clear that Blizzard would be balancing the console and PC versions of the game separately. On paper, this seemed like a reasonable course of…

Last time we talked about the rocket launching daughter Pharah, but now it's time to talk about "Sniper-Mom" Ana. Ana Just came out, but I've played a fair amount of her, and I feel like I've found a…

While the phrase is bandied around a lot, the consensus among many gamers was that Street Fighter V was unfinished in its initial release state. The first thing players saw upon booting the game on…

It's been over a week since Battlefield 1's gameplay was first revealed to the world, with the response so far being very positive—albeit with a few caveats. While some of the more unrealistic…

I attended a thirty minute presentation that was an expansion of what Taleworlds Entertainment showed off at this year's PC Gaming Show. So everything was all about siege. From what I saw, and from…

The Battlefield name has been going through a bit of a rough patch over the last couple of years. Battlefield 4 launched with catastrophic server issues that lasted for months, and Battlefield…

From Bastion and Torbjorn to McCree and his Fan the Hammer ability, it appears as though certain members of Overwatch's audience have a keen ability to detect what is "overpowered" in the game and…

Regardless of the game, balancing in multiplayer has always been a fickle thing. Every weapon has to have some kind of downside and a counter to it, otherwise no one would be using anything else and…

At its core, E3 is the rough equivalent of having your parents tell you what you are getting for Christmas ahead of time. You've got all these big developers and publishers going on stage and…

With a roster of 21 heroes that all have their own powerful set of abilities, it can be hard to find any particular hero that you will always need in Overwatch. Sure, you could opt for a hero that…

Overwatch is a game about CHANGING heroes. The more willing a player is to change from a hero to help deal with the enemy team: the more successful he's going to be. That's just a fact of life. While…

As I write this, the central hub for Fallout modding development, The Nexus, has over 10,000 files letting you tailor how you play Bethesda's Fallout 4. When you consider that the vast majority…

Halo, Assassin's Creed, Hitman: these are just some of the games that have hit the holy grail of franchising by expanding into mediums that the developers probably never anticipated when they made…

A rudimentary inspection of the latest trends in the First Person Shooter genre would be rather bland, to say the least. For years, every game wanted to show you their version of World War 2, and…

Boy howdy have I been loving Stardew Valley. It's nearly a perfect game, and the developer ConcernedApe has stated that he'll continue to work on it for some time. I view it as a nearly perfect title…

From Software has developed a solid formula for making games. Starting with Demon's Souls, they've nearly perfected this Western Style of RPG with their recent game Dark Souls III. But what From…

Exploiting a loophole or a glitch in videogame code is to videogames as what using performance enhancing drugs is to athletics. In both cases, the act results in unscrupulous players obtaining an…

I've been infatuated with Overwatch since it was announced, but only this weekend did I get a chance to play it. Overwatch is just as fun as I imagined it to be, but what really struck me was how…

If there's one thing to be learned from any game that is built around loot, it's that such games are particularly prime targets for exploits. After all, loot based games are built upon offering a…

I’m all in on Ubisoft’s shoot-and-loot RPG The Division for a number of reasons—I like shoot and loot games; I like the feeling of stupidly powerful the player gets when character sheet DPS exceeds…

I love FromSoftware games but that’s not why I’m excited for Dark Souls III. Contrary to most people’s experience with the gold standard for gaming difficulty, I started with Bloodborne. I got it…

There is no question that World of Warcraft has been in some turbulent, up-and-down times recently, with subscribers in a definite gradual decline. I personally haven't played WoW on a regular basis…

Full disclosure, I like the Mass Effect series. I guess that is not much of a surprise, since I more or less defended the Mass Effect trilogy for its cultural contributions to the gaming…
