The first match was on Dragon Shire where the French Canadian team absolutely killed it. Although it was a bit scrappy, both Wouka and Earth brought their “A” game racking up kills and aiding their team to get the level advantage. At no point did UK have a chance as they failed to commit during team fights and could not attain a Dragon Kni
Funko Pop! has made collectible action figures for just about everything in pop culture, and now the company has brought the heroes from Overwatch to life. This Tracer action figure features her classic skin, complete with orange and white sunglasses. The vinyl collectible stands 3.75″ tall and will fit comfortably next to your computer monitor or gaming console. Once you click through to Amazon, scroll down to see the other Overwatch heroes that Funko Pop! has created figures for. “Cute” probably isn’t the first word you’d think of when Reaper or Widowmaker come to mind, and yet, somehow, they pull it
Doomhammer is one of the most feared weapons in WoW history, but now everyone can wield one of their own with the World of Warcraft Doomhammer Toy . Designed for ages six and up, this collectible is great for play or display. While it may be just a toy, it features a Blizzard-approved design that captures all the little intricacies of the Doomhammer from the game (and the mov
M: You also revealed you’ll be focusing on storytelling this year, as well as a comic book that is releasing later this month. What are some of the ways you’ll accomplish this? Will there be anything in-game or will it mostly be outside of that like the comic b
On a slightly cheerier note, Galactic Cafe’s funny and cerebral indie title The Stanley Parable also scored four nominations, as did the dystopian bureaucracy simulator Papers, Please , which is up for a Best Game award. Other nominees for Best Game include Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Super Mario 3D World . Tomb Raider has three nominations, as does mobile title BADLAND and Beyond: Two Sou
MV: I feel like Deckard was one of the biggest challenges we’ve had to tackle. It’s always fun going through that process of coming up with the abilities the heroes. We all get in a room together and go through their background, their lore, what powers they’re known for, and things like that. That will give us room to have a discussion and see what ideas might be cool to do for them. The designers assigned to the hero will sit down and draw the kit and come up with the base gameplay that we think will work well for t
KM: I think it’s all about evolution. We’ve worked really hard to really change the way our team works; that way, we can deliver a lot of content very frequently. This is a really new thing for us. Our team has worked on StarCraft II , Warcraft III , and original StarCraft , so we were a boxed product team where we worked on something for many years, released it and then went away for a couple of years, then release an expans
The last matchup of the night. Université Laval has been a dominant force throughout the tournament, and they had no intention of slowing down with a shutout in the first match. However, University of Buffalo has earned their spot here in the Grand Finals proving that they were also a force to reckon w
Coming up on its third year since launch, Blizzard’s take on the MOBA game news genre, Heroes of the Storm , has seen success due to how approachable the game is, as well as the developers’ continued support with new content and heroes. In fact, I had the chance to play the latest addition to the hero pool, Diablo ‘s Deckard Cain, which I thoroughly enjoyed thanks to the clever uses of his abilit
Blizzard Entertainment has had a pretty successful 2016, starting with Overwatch releasing to stellar reviews on its way to becoming the next big thing in eSports. Hearthstone has again seen multiple popular updates this year, ranging from the dark Old Gods expansion to the more fun-filled Karazhan adventure . Even the old flagship World of Warcraft is experiencing a bit of a return to glory, with the nostalgia-filled Legion expansion breathing new life into the game after the disaster on Draen
This Razer headset offers high fidelity audio through its large 50 mm custom-tuned drivers and features sound isolation so gamers can focus on which direction the opposing team’s Reaper is running in from. The plush ear cushions and wide headband make it comfortable for an all day session, while the fully retractable microphone boom offers a flexible design so players can yell “get on the point!” with e
In the past, I shared the belief that mobile gaming would eventually become so inherently convenient that it would change the modern gaming landscape in one fell swoop. Speaking in 2018, one look around my bedroom would prove otherwise. On my coffee table lays a Nintendo Switch console recently used to play Dead Cells , on the top of my desk is a gaming PC mostly used for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , in my media cabinet is an Xbox One frequently used for watching television, and in my pocket is an iPhone primarily used for, well, going on Twit
