In addition to its lore significance, the trailer is also incredibly intense and well done. It manages to pack story, action, and flash all into one package. Just like all the best Blizzard products

When it was announced that Kendra Saunders would be coming to The Flash before Legends , most assumed it was to give the character a springboard on par with her castmates (the rest of the Legends have been seen in The CW’s universe already). What they didn’t expect was to see the character’s origin worked so completely into the growing fiction of Arrow and The Flash ‘s current sea

League of Legends has a heavy focus on the gameplay during skirmishes. That is, the team vs. team fights have a huge effect on the way the game progresses. These ‘team fights’ are large indicators for which side will win the game, and which player will carry the team to victory. So, the winners get stronger and keep winning. Under League ‘s current power balance, it’s fairly doable for a mechanically-skilled player to dominate a game in under half an hour. If the enemy team is disheartened enough, they can surrender as early as twenty minutes into the g

It’s hard not to get teary-eyed watching Tyrael descend from the sky voluntarily even out of context, but when the trailer arrives just at the right point in the game’s story, there’s no denying its impact. Although Diablo 3 is incredibly replayable, the game’s story does matter and it’s hard not to become attached to its characters in between long sessions of looting. We dare players to make it through the game without getting invested in this st

The second runner-up in the BAFTA nominations race is Tearaway , which is impressive considering for a game only available on a mobile platform. Released on the PlayStation Vita and developed by Media Molecule, the studio behind the LittleBigPlanet games, Tearaway is set in a paper world that definitely seemed to charm the Academy, based on the eight nominations it received in categories such as Game Innovation, Game Design and Best G

Matt Villers: Deckard has been someone we’ve been wanting to do for awhile. It’s just a matter of how you actually approach that challenge because it is a big challenge. He is not a fighter; everyone else we bring in is these legendary warriors and they have battlefield experience. Deckard is the narrator, he’s the wise old man, he tells stories, he guides you on quests, he identifies your items, but you never see him fight. By looking at him, you don’t really expect him to be someone who would fi

Now, we’ve recently gone back with Malfurion and gave him some extra layers to his gameplay just so you can get more satisfaction out of the decisions you’re making and official statement you have more opportunities to distinguish yourself and show off your skill if you can play him w

“My Facebook page is where I like to publicly flaunt all of my weird little successes and failures at cosplay. I love talking to people about whatever they may be working on and exchanging methods and ideas. Come at me b

In “Legends of Yesterday”, written by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Aaron and Todd Helbing, a strange killer comes to Central City to hunt down Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée), forcing Barry (Grant Gustin) to seek out Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and his Team Arrow for help. The emergence of a winged warrior who claims to have the answers only complicates things, setting up a villain the likes of which neither Barry nor Oliver has faced bef

Anybody who has ever attended a gaming or comic convention knows that the world of cosplay is no joke. Cosplayers spend countless hours planning and building insane costumes every year, just to parade them out during convention season and show them off. Unless you’re a part of the scene, you might not realize just how much blood, sweat, and tears goes into every project. We sat down with one of our favorite cosplayers this week to chat about the work that went into her League and Legends and Diablo 3 proje

[pullquote]”Historically, we weren’t really trying to tell a cohesive sotry for the rest of this year. We really think of it as a season this initial year starting out with this Rise of the Raven comic later this month. We really try to delve into the realms, the realm lords and what the Nexus is.”[/pullqu

This made for an extremely competitive awards season, as each gaming site elected its own Game of the Year , and last week saw The Last of Us dominating the D.I.C.E. Awards . Now the games of 2013 are set to go head-to-head once more in the British Academy Games Awards, which will take place in mid-Ma

So much of our focus is about that; we’ve been doubling down on that recently with our hero re-works. It’s not just about bringing new heroes into the game, it’s about looking at the 70 plus heroes that we’ve already added and taking all of this new knowledge and information that we gathere while making heroes for the past three-plus years and applying that to things that we’ve already done before. Again, we’re looking for every opportunity to make it bet
