Especially on that flight back to HQ, giving you more time than you’d like to feel bad about the folks you got all shot up. Weirdly, pressing Caps Lock WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE LOAD TIMES INXCOM 2ON YOUR WAY BACK TO THE BASE....
Hero 31 is playable on the PTR, here are his abilities After a few teases,Blizzard has officially introduced Sigma, the next tank hero lined up forOverwatch. Even if you aren’t in the habit of watching these origin story videos, this one is worth a look. It’s genuinely unnerving! Blizzard describes it as a “peek inside the mind of an eccentric astrophysicist who hopes to unlock the secrets of the universe, unaware he’s been turning into a living weapon....
The newPath of Exileseason,Trial of the Ancestors, has been out for almost a week now. Even though the league has received a few smaller updates and hotfixes since its release, it just got its biggest update yet. The 3.22.0b Hotfix forPoEprimarily targets the league mechanic, Trial of the Ancestors. For the last week most have considered the league mechanic underwhelming and honestly not worth doing. The potential rewards have not been that great, and the actual mechanic itself is a bit challenging....
Not a fan of his redesign either Peggle 2is one of those games that’s good to just pick up and play every so often, and whenever a new character drops, I get the itch to play again. This time the newcomer isn’t an original character likeWindy the Fairy, but a familiar face in the form of Jimmy Lightning from the originalPeggle. Of all the characters they bring back, it had to be Jimmy....
“Party Monsters” now available on PS3 I love Pinball, as I’m sure readers of this blog are well aware. I’m also deeply affectionate for the Mistress of the Dark, Elvira, late-night spookshow queen of the eighties and nineties. So, it’s no surprise that I’m highly interested in picking up the latest release toThe Pinball Arcadeon PS3, as it brings the 1989 classic,Elvira and the Party Monsterstable to their library of original machine simulations today as part of “Table Pack 6....

Better late than never? The latest free game from Microsoft’s Games with Gold promotion is another one you may have gotten years ago, but if not, great — it’s worth nabbing. Queue your download forRainbow Six: Vegasover here. This is one of the rare few that I never got around to playing, so don’t mind if I do.

Competitive Diablo During Sony’s inaugural “State of Play” stream, a new title calledReadySet Heroeswas announced. The title will be a mixture of the hack-n-slash genre with competitive multiplayer, pitting teams of players against each other in randomly generated dungeons. I suppose saying it’sDiabloPvP is correct since the main goal is to reach the end of the dungeon first. In a nice move, offline play will be available in addition to online options....
Ninja Theory talks overhauls and backlash DmC: Devil May Cryhas been controversial to say the least. Ever since Capcom announced a new game, developed by Ninja Theory and starring a redesigned Dante, fans have been furious, declaring this a grand travesty of the highest order. Of course, that wasn’t the point, merely the end result. So why did DmC reboot the series, and why does Dante sport an all-new look and attitude?...
