Everyone 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 consoles. However, there’s not a recent game that sticks in player’s minds like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Infinity Ward’s risky leap into a modern setting ended up not only being one of the best games of 2007 but one of the most groundbreaking. The Modern Warfare's int...

Voting started on December 24th, and ended on January 21st. Each voter was asked to give ten preferences in order, with the first game scoring four points, second and third scoring three, ranks from four to six scoring two points, and the rest only one. Two honorable mentions were also allowed, but scored no points. Hanzo has become something of a meme amongst the Overwatch community.

Battlefield 3 was EA's fastest selling game ever, and the publisher must have been keen to follow up that success with Battlefield 4 .

**Overwatch ** is a game about diversity in hero selection, and everyone has their own personal favorite. Some people may play heroes near the bottom of this list. That doesn't mean that they are bad players; it only means that the hero may not be the strong One of Hanzo's most useful attributes in Overwatch is the fact that he doesn't need to reload. He can use an infinite amount of arrows in a match and never has to worry about stopping to reload. The tradeoff for this is that he has to pull t...
