Overwatch shipped with 21 playable characters, but subsequent updates added support sniper Ana and sneaky hacker Sombra to the fray. More characters are expected in the future, with rumors currently flying around about actor and expert shouter Terry Crews voicing Doomfist, one of several arch villains of the Overwatch universe only referenced in hushed tones thus far. With such a diverse gallery, it's interesting to find out where some of these dynamic characters came from in the first pl Blizza...

D.Va is certainly the most meta member of the Overwatch roster. As a professional StarCraft player turned mech pilot warrior, she’s essentially the ultimate anime hero. At only 19 years old, D.Va – a.k.a. Hana Song – still treats the act of battle like a video game. Her calls of "nerf this" and "gg" almost break the game’s fourth wall and make D.VA one of the most compelling characters in the g In season one, you didn't play competitive. In season two, you placed platinum but ended in silver. In...

More than I can remember in recent years, 2016 had me overwhelmed with great games to enjoy all throughout the year. Picking one game out of the dozens I played this year is no easy task, and even more than in the past year or two. 2016's class of games were an embarrassment of riches when it came to diverse genres, awesome gameplay, and truly unique, exciting new experien If you haven't seen some of Overwatch 's excellent cinematic shorts, you're missing out on some significant backstory. In " ...

Driveclub was hit with multiple delays before it was released in October 2014 and as a result it's easy to forget that the game originally announced as a PS4 launch title. So with almost 11 extra months in the oven, was Evolution's PS4 exclusive a hit? As a single player game, yes, it succeeded. The multiplayer component, however, was a complete trag **Developer Comments: ** D.Va’s armor often made her feel like she had no weaknesses, even against heroes that are often effective against bigger t...

Battlefield has become one of the most popular shooter franchises. Every game in the series works well, but its best entry is definitely Bad Company 2 . With fluid mechanics and a variety of weapons and vehicles, Bad Company 2 excels at all the traditional features of shootEveryone remembers the games that changed everything. Wolfenstein 3D brought the industry into the 3D era, Final Fantasy VII made the PlayStation a direct threat to Nintendo’s empire, and Halo 2 brought online multiplayer to c...

But for the sake of brevity, Overwatch is my FPS Game Money guide of the Year choice for the fact that it showed me the power of inclusion and community when it comes to gaming. While it's still a heavily competitive shooter at heart, Overwatch 's ease of access for players has made it both appealing and fun to play, but without sacrificing depth and playability when it comes to mastering each of the game's Heroes. Though they don't happen all the time, each time I've gotten a "Play of the Game"...

Enemy shots no longer need to travel a minimum distance before they can be blocked Developer Comments: Previously, there was a minimum distance a projectile had to travel before it could be destroyed by Defense Matrix. This made it nearly worthless in situations where an enemy was right next to your teammate, such as when Roadhog hooks your ally. This change removes that restriction so Defense Matrix should now reliably destroy projectiles regardless of how far they have trave She’s a complica...

The recent Call of Duty games, however, managed to fix a lot of issues found in Call of Duty 4. The infinitely respawning enemies are a hassle, and it’s never clear how far forward the player has to push before they stop coming. Likewise, weapons found on the ground are the barebones version. If you like using attachments, then you better hope you don’t run out of ammo with the weapons you start the level with. Both of these should have been easy fixes, but Raven Software’s strict dedication to ...

February is kind of the post-holiday aftershock. A ton of great games are all scheduled to hit gamers where it hurts this month, and I honestly do not have much time to play them. I'll probably be playing Soul Calibur V throughout February, with a little Saints Row: The Third sprinkled in. As for new games though, I'll have one last chance to try out the PS Vita at a launch event later this month, and I'll decide then if it's something I'm willing to part with $250 for. Uncharted: Golden Abyss i...

More than any other game I can think of in the past few years like it, Overwatch is one of the most welcoming and inclusive competitive games I've ever been able to enjoy and play regularly. Compared to many other competitive gaming experiences that require players to sink dozens (or hundreds) of hours into the game to grasp its nuances and strategies, Overwatch truly embraces its ability to not only get players started with the core concepts easily, but how it allows players of all abilities an...
