This past weekend provided a rare scene that's usually reserved for the League of Legends World Championship. Many of the best teams in the world headed to the same place, Tallahassee, FL, for the Mid-Season Invitatio
Boy, that was a wake-up call. I'm definitely not exaggerating by telling you that I nearly flipped the laptop onto the floor; Ghost of Tsushima was the perfect storm between an established studio (whose work I love), and an exciting new IP in a setting that I ad
It leads to a lot of interesting and thematic situations, with temporary victories snatched away by a well-timed fireball. It makes everything more chaotic, to a point, but allows for more counterplay and, to an extent, game balance, depending on the combination of Champi
Although TCGs are traditionally played in 1v2 formats, this one supports 2v2 and free-for-all formats from the start. One major mechanic that really sets Riftbound apart is the battlefield system. You need to conquer locations on the game board to score points, rather than smash into each other to lower their respective HP po
There is a team in Japan that helped a "huge deal" with the trailer and made sure that the representation was respectful of Japanese culture. Katami-san mentioned something that was removed but did not specify what it
Battlefield management was a significant factor in why things became generally more interesting as the number of players increased. Rather than force everyone into a kingmaking situation (where everyone is ganging up on one person to eliminate them), players need to constantly read into every strategic move and figure out how to capture each battlefield for themsel
The tournament and the final in particular did not disappoint, with arguably two of the best teams in the world squaring off against each other. EDward Gaming took out SK Telecom T1 in a close 3 to 2 series to give the Chinese the victory over the Koreans. SK Telecom certainly didn't make it easy. The team's best player, and one of the top mid laners in the world, Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok nearly won the series for SK all by hims
Faulkner, a veteran actor, has over 120 acting credits over the last 47 years. Appearing in films and television series’ ranging from _ Downton Abbey _ and _ Bridget Jones’s Diary _ to the 1997 direct-to-video _ A Kid in Aladdin’s Palace _ , Faulkner’s career has turned a corner with the credibility garnered for playing Lord Tarly. Randyll Tarly, in _ Game of Thrones _ , is the Wildling-hating and House of Lannister-aligned father of Night’s Watch meister Samwell Tarly. In _ League of Legends _ Faulkner’s strong and distinguished voice fleshes out the demonically-powered ruler of Noxus, Jericho Swain .

ESL is well-known as one of the biggest eSports leagues in the world, which is why it was big news when it was reported today that Swedish media group MTG purchased Turtle Entertainment, ESL's parent comp
That being said, Ghost of Tsushima is different. The game is set in Japan, and the inclusion of the Japanese voice track would mean going the extra mile to help immersion. Of course, this isn't to say that the Japanese voice track is a better option than the English one. Normally Sony does a great job with English voice acting as well, but having the option to pick and choose between the two would be fantas
It's commendable that the Riftbound team has rules for alternative strategy game patch notes|https://strategynewsbase.com/ modes at launch. An increasingly large number of TCGs come and go with a singular format, suffering as a result. It might be way too early for this, but a PVE set would go down nicely with the League of Legends community, if it's ever in the ca
The reason why Sucker Punch moved away from inFamous and created something completely different is that they have done something for a long time, and they wanted to try something else. It was a "huge risk," but according to Harper it was "so worth
It wouldn't be an additional cost, because the track is going to be recorded anyway for the Japanese market, and it would enrich the experience for those of us who would like to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of ancient Ja
_ League of Legends _ , the long-running and massively popular MOBA, is made by game company Riot Games. Riot traditionally does not credit voice actors for their work publicly, and instead only acknowledges the talent after the actors themselves reveal their work. The gaming world was clued in to Faulkner’s work by a reddit post by a Spideraxe30 showing a Twitter interaction between Faulkner and another user. Faulkner, apparently unaware of Riot’s practice of crediting voice talent, coyly acknowledged his work on the game and lamented the lack of acknowledgement on Riot’s p
