For most of a two or three month period, certain segments of Overwatch’s community (particularly on the game’s subreddit) were hard at work trying to find any clues that Blizzard may have left regarding (what most people assume to be) their upcoming character, Sombra. From decoding cryptic messages in trailers written in hex values to monitoring the Overwatch’s website for any change ...

Games are like porn: some people admit they play them, the others lie about doing it. Let’s face it, we all play them. Some of us on a daily basis, other more rarely. Some people play on their computers, others on their smartphones, and the really serious gamers play on their consoles. The fact is that everyone does it. Those ...

With the recent release of Overwatch’s Competitive mode, it should come as no surprise that there are some grumblings about certain features that are proving to be less than ideal. After all, no one is perfect, and some things that may have sounded like a good idea conceptually may not work as well on a practical level. However, it appears as ...

From Bastion to Zenyatta, each of Overwatch’s heroes have at least one hero that is a direct counter to them. Whether it be due to other heroes exploiting their natural weakness or a more brute force approach, no hero is so good that there is no way to counter them (at least in theory). Of course, you may run into ...

Conceptually, Overwatch is no different from any other game in that it is certainly not the first game to revolve around fighting with your team and using your character’s abilities to outplay the opposing team. The most obvious direct comparisons that come to mind are Team Fortress 2 and Battleborn, two games that have similarly cartoon-y art styles, vibrant colors, ...

Every once in a while, a game comes around and revitalizes an otherwise fairly stagnant genre. These days, no genre has become more stagnant than shooters, with every major developer and publisher pumping out the same kinds of super realistic, super gritty, or super competitive games. This is where something like Blizzard’s Overwatch comes in, introducing something that is so ...

By now, you have probably heard of at least one of the many debates over the portrayal of female characters in modern gaming. From fairly legitimate issues like ridiculous body armor, to well intended but perhaps a little far fetched ones that ask for “realistic” body shapes for unrealistic women, you can pretty much find a complaint (regardless of its legitimacy) about anything and ...

Over the past couple of days new gameplay trailers have been released for Overwatch on Blizzard’s Overwatch EU YouTube channel. The new trailers depict actual in game footage of several different playable characters from the game. All of the trailers are unedited running at 1080p with 60fps on a PC. Obviously the potential is there if your PC is able to handle the ...

Overwatch was announced at this year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s first foray into the realm of FPS games promises to be an exciting addition to their diverse line up. For those that don’t know, Overwatch is a team based FPS that currently features a lineup of 12 playable heroes; all of which fall into one of four roles based upon their ...

This year’s edition of Blizzcon was a very special one because after nearly two decades Blizzard finally announced a new IP. Overwatch has been the subject of speculation for many months after it was revealed back in April that the company trademarked that name. We didn’t actually know what it was until recently but the name did sounded fitting for a ...
