I didn’t know what it was, but when I was looking at the list of upcoming games back in January, I was instantly attracted to Overwatch. I knew it was a first person shooter and I knew I hated first person shooters – but I could tell that something was different. So why is everyone crazy about Overwatch?
DOOM is out, and it’s one of the most surprising releases of the year. The single player component is absolutely fantastic in a way few of us would have predicted. It’s angry, it’s fast, it’s brutal, and it’s tremendous fun.
The announcement of Warzone during the 2015 E3 Microsoft press conference was more than most expected. Finally, after months of suspense and hopeful anticipation, our first publicly playable version is here.
Anyone who follows me on social media knows I’ve been anxious for the release of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege and while I’m far from “pro” status when it comes to the game, I am definitely passionate. But, you know what they say: those who can’t do, teach.
The upcoming Black Ops game won't ship with a single player mode on PS3 and 360 while Rainbow Six Siege won't have one all together. This begs the question: do all FPS games really need story mode? Will you feel cheated if it's omitted from certain franchises? Plus, we talk gaming gear upkeep and maintenance: cleaning, fixing, all that good stuff.
When I walked into the Battleborn demo at Fan Expo 2015, I knew I was going to have fun, but I wasn't expecting to walk out with a potential GOTY pick. Gearbox's new FPS with MOBA-like tendencies managed to blow me away in just 25 minutes. In that short, action packed session I worked seamlessly with a group of strangers to complete objectives, down bosses and basically stop the apocalypse.
At Montreal Comiccon, the GoG team was lucky enough to enter the convention before regular opening hours on Friday, which meant we were some of the first to get our eager hands on those demo station controllers. Our first stop: Ubisoft's booth for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege in the middle of the show floor.
