As one of the smart spiritual brothers of the Void Spirit, Raijin Thunderkeg or Storm Spirit is a bit more clever than Inai. He's a ranged attacker that excels in ganking and carrying the whole team with his highly synergistic set of abilit
If I were a 2010s kid, I think I would have left gaming behind, Hanzo item build thinking it’s not "for me." We’re all big kids now, we can shrug off not getting the D.Va skin we’re after, and still have a blast. Kids can’t. And that shouldn't be abused upon by predatory video game monetization, otherwise we'll lose a generation of gamers who couldn’t keep
Cosplayer @kim_on_the_rocks takes a few liberties with her cosplay, electing to combine Miss Fortune's traditional outfit with something much more Bewitching; the result is an impressive and dynamic take on the character that showcases just how interesting her Halloween inspired skin's weapons are. Lit and ready for battle, "Shock" and "Awe" as candles don't seem particularly threatening, but the backdrop—what looks to be a desolate, tornado ravished scene reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz —screams "pandemonium," which instills the pistols-turned-wax with a sense of contextual wickedness and hostil
It doesn’t end there. So many of the big games getting sold to us now rely on online multiplayer, which is another subscription to add on top of that. Lower income families won’t be able to foot the annual bill, so they’ll pay monthly, as lower income households do with most payments, which ends up costing more in the long run. Either that, or the kids just don’t have it and have the vast majority of their hobby locked out. They won’t be able to ignore it: their friends will have the PS Plus logo next to their name. It will be advertised to them every time they’re on the home m
Veterans of MOBA games are already some of the most serious and competitive people on the planet. Veterans of Dota 2 are even a cut above that, as it's one of the least forgiving and supportive environments to be in. Yet that doesn't stop experts from taking their lumps and suffering on their journey to climb the ladder. Even players who are in the middle of the pack have to try their best just to stay th
One of the aforementioned top Intelligence hero staples, Invoker has always been an interesting character to play. He's also possibly the most complex hero in DOTA 2 because he has in total, 14 abilities, four of which he uses to create the other
Indie gem If Found was nominated for the 2020 Game Awards' category of Games for Impact, and was published by Annapurna Interactive. If Found is a slow-paced game about human connection, and tells the story of a girl named Kasio who moves home to western Ireland and interacts with her family and friends. There's an extra layer of tension, though, with the threat of a possibly unstoppable black hole that could swallow the entire wo
Yes, players can choose to queue up for a specific role. But even then, not all support heroes fit in well with their team or counter the opposing team the same way. It's important to diversify selections that are in the comfort z
The unmistakable red hair paired with her seafaring outfit, most identifiable by her large pirate-style hat and one of her iconic pistols (the pair are named "Shock" and "Awe), signify to the world that Miss Fortune is on the hunt for bounties; a single arched eyebrow seems to dare any would-be bandit or pirate to try their luck going against the legendary capt
However, there is a downside: the crusade against the preowned market. Gaming giants haven’t been shy about their dislike of consumers playing second-hand games, but the reality is this is the only way some people can game. Looking at my PS3 collection, just one out of 21 games I have was bought brand new - the (at the time) digital-only Life is Strange. So many games now see this digital-only run, and with Microsoft throwing all it can at Xbox streaming, it looks like this is here to stay. Going to CEX with your pocket money will be a thing of the p
The creators behind Dragon's Blood have been thorough in their research while setting up the universe for the anime. And fans can notice this in small details like the two moons. The bright and smaller moon in the front is the true form of Selemene, the goddess of the moon-order to which Mirana and Luna bel
The Pathless was published by Annapurna Interactive and developed by Giant Squid, the studio that developed the ocean exploration game ABZÛ. This game is the story of a character called the Hunter and their eagle companion who are travelling in an enormous forest. The Hunter is an archer on a quest to release the world from a curse of darkness, whose travels take them through an open world filled with variable biomes like tundras and fore
Another popular ganker who's also notorious when left unchecked by the enemy team is Enchantress. She's a ranged Intelligence hero who also thrives well in the jungle, staying true to her aesthetic theme. Enchantress can easily push on her own thanks to an ability that lets her charm enemy cre
